3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 pushkinwow (730) - Ontario, CANADA - DEC 22, 2011
750ml bottle batch 168. Had this a few times but thanks to David have a bottle to rate. Golden, hazy yellow with a billowy and creamy white head, at least one finger, that gradually settles leaving layers of lace stuck on the glass. Belgian yeast, sugar, grains, alcohol, coriander, banana. Fairly smooth but the alcohol lends a bit of a bite, slightly sweet throughout, some malt, banana and coriander at the end, becomes fairly dry. Quite nice but I think this is something that would benefit from sitting for a few months, maybe longer, for the alcohol to fade a bit.
