Newport Storm - Frank (Cyclone Series)
Appearance: Pours a clear, honey-hued body with a very sparse ring of white bubbles on top. Smell: Aroma of toasted spices, including clove and ginger with a backdrop of banana and lime fruitiness. Taste: Toasty, tangy wheat maltiness ushers in tastes of bananas, cloves, ginger and lime. Light, spicy bitterness. Remains toasty for the sweet finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium-low carbonation. A bit of a chewy, tongue-coating mouthfeel. Drinkability: I find the mouthfeel a bit heavy for me and find the lack of refreshing character to be a slight turn off.
