Notes:

Opened a bottle today 9/6/19...The carbonation is not quite there yet. The color is spot on, cloudy and very pale, the aroma is more clove then anything. The taste is clove and very little banana, if any. I will let it carbonate another week. I think, because I overpitched the WLP300 by making a starter and fermenting at a lower temp (65 deg.) instead of the lower 70's it gave me more of a clove taste, but time will tell...still good.
