Nice results

This turned out nice. I fermented at 64-65 degrees. It turned out a little on the clove side of the clove / banana balance. It is recommended to ferment these at 62 degrees. Overall, a delicious, light drinking beer. I added extra bottling sugar to carbonate this higher than normal beers.
