Tasting notes
19/2: Lightly carbonated. Heavy banana aroma. Maybe more of a saison than tripel?
21/2: Lightly carbonated still. Much less banana aroma. More of a balanced, but quite heavily spicy flavour.
3/3: Well carbonated but could maybe use a bit more for next brew. Spicy notes seem way more subdued.
