Tasted on 2/10/2016 by McBrewgr

Notes:

Appearance: Cloudy, almost exactly the same color as an empty brown beer bottle. Poured with 1/4" creamy head that faded to a thin film within 3 minutes. Smell: Malts, clean, very subtle flowery hops Taste: Malty with a light biscuit quality, no alcohol flavors, light English style hops with a tiny hint of bananas Mouth-feel: Thin but with some nuanced creamy qualities. Lightly carbonated, ends slightly astringent

Notes:

6 days after bottling - Appearance: same copper coloring, haziness has dissipated. Smell: Unchanged. Taste: Banana flavor has reduced and the increased carbonation has contributed to realizing more of the bitterness. Mouth-feel: still thin but with increased carbonation.

Tasted on 1/31/2016 by McBrewgr

Notes:

Appearance: Copper, hazy, no head or glass lacing Smell: Fruity, flowery esters (mainly bananas) and cascade hops Taste: Very classic English Bitter flavor profile. Heavy on the banana flavor but not overpowering or off-putting. Not a hint of alcohol. Mouth-feel: Very thin like water, very little bite of carbonation.
