4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Beautiful blonde with a large, lingering, foamy white head. Nice smooth palate with not a ton of flavour. Malty / yeasty. Nice.

Bottle. [thank you, Yespr]
Pours a pretty, light hazy dark yellow. A fine, creamy white head. Okay lacing and good duration. Aroma is nicely fruity, good banana, oranges, some almonds, yeast and light fruity hops. Rather lively mouthfeel - good creaminess. Flavour is wonderfully fruity sweet. Some apples, pineapple, banana, oranges and the nutty almond tones prevail. A light spicy hoppiness in the finish. This is a great brew.

330 ml stubby bottle, thanks to oh6gdx and chris_o. ABV is 6.6%. Contains barley malt, wheat malt, oats and spelt, hops, yeast, coriander and orange peel. Hazy golden colour, huge head. Typical "Belgian" aroma: ale yeast, spices, fermenting fruits. The flavour is spicy but also very refreshing for a beer of this strength, moderately sweet with decent hops in the finish. Just a touch of citrus. Well balanced and pleasant to drink.

On tap at the Bavarian Lodge in Lisle, IL.
Aroma:Flowery lavender aromas.
Appearance:Cloudy and blonde. Nice head with fine bubbles.
Taste:Some muted spice, citrus, and nutty flavors. A little sourness on the foretaste. Some lavender flavors in the aftertaste remind me of old lady soap.
Palate:Medium body, nice carbonation, very smooth.
Overall:This is a rather subtle beer with complex hidden flavors. It’s easy drinking and quite sessionable.

UPDATED: SEP 2, 2009 Pours hazy gold into a tulip. Bright white head pancakes as it slowly recedes to coat surface. Coriander and yeast aromas. Creamy sweet bubblegum upfront; turning crisp in the yeasty finish. Improves remarkably as it warms.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
33 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow to orange with a white head. Aroma is complex wheaty/spelt grainy with a very pronounced note of orange peel and a mild yet distinct spice note, underlying is a very classic Belgian yeasty note. Flavour is rather complex and following the same lines as the aroma. Orange peel and coriander take a step forward in a medium sweet fruity beer. Ends with a lingering wheat and spelt flavour with a little remaining orange peel note. Lovely!
