Appearance: Pours a copper to mahogany-brown color, often hazy with a thick, creamy off-white head.

Aroma: Expect prominent fruity esters (like banana) and spicy phenols (like clove), blended with richer malt notes such as bread crust, caramel, or a hint of chocolate/toffee.
-
Flavor: A balance of the signature banana and clove from the yeast, supported by a rich, bready, and malty sweetness. There should be low to no hop bitterness. Some describe the malt/yeast combination as tasting like banana bread.
-
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied, soft, creamy, and effervescent due to high carbonation.
