"The beer shows pleasant wheat-derived sweetness, complemented by banana-like notes on the nose. Sweetness from alcohol is noticeable but does not dominate. The palate balances sweetness and acidity well, giving a clear and clean impression."

"Cloudy orange, with plentiful foam and a moderately strong aroma with fruity banana esters and light clovy phenols followed by sweet malt notes. The big, mouth-filling palate is sweet and wheaty with notes of malt bread, banana, apricot and spices, with firm carbonation. The beer has a long, slightly astringent finish and is overall notably intense."
