I have no final tasting notes yet, as it just went into bottles, but I can tell you what it is like so far....
Color is about the same as Hoegarden but maybe a little darker... same tone though. Aroma is a little bit of lime but otherwise pretty clean. Flavour is pretty complex. There are some banana-ish esters when it first hits your tongue, but these are well-balanced with citrus notes and a subtle agave sharpness.The lime shines through in the finish, which is quite clean. I'm excited to taste this when it carbs up. I think it will be a pretty awesome summer beer.
