Intro: A 750ml bottle, with a best before date of 16th August 2022. From the 2021 BXL BeerFest beer pack. Poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.
Appearance: A mostly clear golden orange colour with a big two finger white head that had pretty good retention and left some nice lacing.
Aroma: Wheat, clove, banana bread, notes of orange peel, and a touch herbal.
Taste: Wheat, floral, soapy, clove, banana, caramel malt, bitter citrus pith, orange peel, peppery spice, with herbal finishing notes.
Mouthfeel: Medium to light bodied with moderate to high carbonation.
Overall: While this was an interesting beer, and I think the base was good, the floral soapy notes I’m getting were not really my cup of tea.
