text: Twelve ounce bottle from Beer of the Month Club, poured into a snifter glass A: Clear golden yellow color, with a tiny white head receding quickly to nothing - looks almost flat. S: Fruity and floral aroma of apple, banana, and some spices - very pleasant smell. T: Bready, yeasty flavor accented with apple and what reminds me of white grape juice. Some spicy hop notes hidden, but not overly hoppy or malty. M: Medium bodied, low carbonation with a crisp, refreshing dry finish. D: I think it would be better served with a bit more carbonation, but otherwise a refreshing spring beer that pairs well with about anything.
