Smell

Banana. Caramel. Candy. Cinnamon. Bananas Foster.

Aimee disagrees with cinnamon, and says “honey candy”.

I’m excited about the banana, haven’t smelled that before in a beer.

Taste

Surprisingly vegetal. Cooked celery.

Sweet.

I am so surprised that the smell promised bananas, and the taste delivered celery.

Fish now. What? Fish?

Every time I taste it it gets worse.

Mouthfeel

Syrupy.

Overall

A fantastically weird combination of tastes.
