Impression:
I love the cloudiness and the color right off the bat. The head was decent, but it didn't persist very long (I was visiting, so I wasn't using one of my own glasses, which I know are free of head-destroying soap residue). The aroma very nearly made my mouth water -- yeasty and citrusy, with notes of clove, banana, golden raisins, and a slight grassy hint in the background. The flavors were much the same as in the nose, and they were very well balanced, interestingly complex, and insanely enjoyable. The medium-full mouthfeel rounded it all out nicely, and the effervescence kept the beer lively on my tongue. I was surprised at how smooth and easy to drink this beer was, and I was also very surprised by how quickly my glass emptied. Very well done overall.
Cheers!
