◌ Aroma

The nose unfolds best at 9–10 °C, revealing prominent overripe banana and apricot alongside darker plum notes. Beneath the fruit lies a subtle caramel sweetness and warming alcohol undertones from the 8% ABV. Wheat and yeast character frame the composition without dominating.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied and malty on entry, with overripe banana and rum-soaked dark fruit flooding the palate. Caramel and wheat contribute roundness and gentle sweetness; the Hallertau Perle and Herkules hops add restraint with just 20 IBU, allowing malt character to lead. Slight yeasty spice emerges mid-palate.
