Commercial Description:
This is the ultimate Belgian style. The very high gravity of this beer is balanced by the smoothness of its finish. Banana and Clove aromas come from the Belgian yeast strain combining with the generous dose of Belgian Candi Sugar. The Saaz hops help to give this beer a balanced bitterness with no noticeable hop aroma.

The Dan Journal #76. Tasted 4/5/2007. 12oz bottle. Slightly sedimented. Golden hue. Clining white layered head. Strong caramel and banana yeast nose. Citrus and perfumy aromas. Crisp bright and lively. Peppery effervescence. Bitter acidic middle, then extinguished by the perfumy yeast mellow finish. Good trip.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with a huge head that leaves quickly and stays as a nice thin blanket. Smell is bananna bread. yeast, and zest. Taste is very nice... it’s almost like bananna bread beer to be honest. I think that is the only way that I can discribe the taste of this beer. Mouthfeel is a bit thin without enough carbontaion. That aside I really like this beer and would definitely recommend it.

On tap. Very different smell and taste. Sweet smell give itself to a bubble gum taste. Tangy alcohol presence. Complex which is different from the usual straight laced triples.

Tap at GTMW. Poured clear bright golden with a tall, creamy cap of white head. The aroma picked up white pepper and cloves initially with sweet bananas and bubblegum supporting.. eventually became a bit too sweet for my liking considering the style. The flavor had more bubblegum and lesser banana on the candied core.. nice dry yeasty impression cut the sweetness with peppery spices, but it was still very sweet overall. Medium-plus bodied, and I wish it was drier with more character from the yeast.. still solid.

tap at hopcat. pour is bright yellow with thinish white head. never would have guessed at 10%. went down far too easily. mild banana, clove and pepper flavor. nice mouthfeel, not too carbonated like most belgain styles.

Bottle. Art is better then the beer. Golden body with a a white head. Esters fruit, some pepper spicy yeast sweet candy apple, but unbalanced bitterness and some poorly blended etoh. eh.
