Mar 26, 2009 330 mL Bottle picked up at an LCBO outlet March 26; Best-Before Date 05/09. Pale cloudy straw yellow body, very lively carbonation with a small quickly dissipating soapy head leaving some lacing. Grainy-yeasty aroma with a hint of lime. Very sweet but thin in the mouth, as if a sweetener was added, wheat stands out in the taste along with notes of pear, bananas, citrus, peach, and green grapes followed by a whisper of cloves. C’mon, Belgium, you can do much better :(

Feb 22, 2009 bottled 330ml 5.5%. Poured hazy pale yellow with dissipating white bubbly head. Citrus yeast aroma. Very light mouthfeel, low carbonation. Mild citrus and spices. Not worth the price, I’d sooner drink a value version.

Dec 25, 2008 330ml bottle
5.5% ABV
Best Before Date: April 2009
I tried this beer on September 12, 2008 at "Smokeless Joes" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer pours a cloudy golden yellow with a thick, bubbly, white head that lingered. The aroma was malted wheat, cloves, and some sweet banana. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was very crisp with hints of banana, cloves, and nutmeg, all on a wheaty base.

Nov 30, 2008 Bottle. Cloudy yellow beverage a good representation of a white. Über-inviting spicy aroma features cardamom, clove, nutmeg and a hint of lemony freshness. Palate is unfortunately a little thin. Nice lemony flavour with a good malt backbone, but lacks the punch the aroma was hinting at. Only okay.

Oct 11, 2008 330ml Bottle: I had high hopes for this one, and sadly it didn’t live up. Pours very pale yellow, seriously looks like urine. Aroma is heavy on lemon, a little skunky, and something quite sour. Flavour is initially harshly carbonated, a bit off-putting, almost like soda pop. Catching that skunkiness once again (perhaps mine is off?), alongside the usual suspects - lemon, citrus, coriander. It’s all a bit boring and underwhelming, sadly.
