This beer doesn't travel the beaten track: it pours enormously turbid, dirty okra. Floating and sinking fruit particles are plentiful. Carbonation is decent β€” meaning, not particularly powerful, but the emerging warm yellow, frothy volcano keeps on pushing up and up and soon also out of the glass. This time I wasn't vigilant... The glass is left like a hurricane had stormed it all over. Banana is generous in the air. Unlike in most cases where I find banana in the scent, this time it's not fermented but rather ripe fresh. Cinnamon adds a slightly spicy, even peppery twist to it. Raw cacao flies in the background and is further accompanied by apple and a suggestion of rowanberry. Quite an interesting medley for a beer! Even though I expected that the palate was smoothie-like, it astonishes me: it's even more smoothie-like than I can imagine. Superthick! Banana, indeed, coats the mouth effectively. Apple, tangerine, pineapple and nectarine want to squeeze themselves into the overcrowded package. Cinnamon remains voluntarily in a distance but signals clearly its presence. Raw cacao is now substantially modest. Overall, very fruity, light-sour and totally unbeery! The body is full. The end shows a tad pungency which probably results from the increasing sourness and tingly spiciness of cinnamon. The fruity particulars include banana, apple, a bit of lemon zest and a suggestion of rowanberry. The aftertaste splashes shreds of fruits on the wall and ends up quickly cleaning the mess. The mouthfeel is robust, thick, moderately tart, slightly pungent and spiced. It's tropical, turbid, massively smoothie-like, deep and absolutely unbeery. Would probably otherwise be close to perfection but the frothy slam is excessive. My thanks go to Pint Please for this and many other beers from Beerdome. πŸ™πŸ»πŸ»
