Aroma: “Touch of alcohol up front. There’s a lighter caramel and pear, peach, apple, and orange behind that with some cherry. A little banana with hints of clove, pepper, and coconut.”

Flavor: “First impression is alcohol. Some malt sweetness softens that a little and lets the banana/coconut come through, along with some strawberry, peach, and orange. Slightly spicy. Finish is dry.”

Overall: “Alcohol is a bit much and is not assisted by a moderate spiciness. Behind that there’s a nice peach-and-caramel thing going. A stronger carbonation and a touch more body could balance it out slightly.”
