aroma nice fruitness going on, mellow banana esters, color, a little hazy white head taste Ive had in 12 oz and 25.5 oz I liked the 25.5 oz bottle better, but sweet fruitness, not overpowering, but banana and honey flavors I picked up, overall, I enjoy this beer quite a bit, I like the mellow Belguim presences this brings!

Into the glass pours a pale yellow beer, slightly cloudy. It smells yeasty-sweet, slightly caramel and fruity. Starts yeasty-sweet, slightly soapy, with pleasant fruit flavors caramel. The middle part is slightly sour, yeasty, coupled with a good fruity (plum) and a slight hop aroma in the background. Goes into a moderately yeasty, fruity and hoppy finish with a hint of alcohol!

Bottle. Pale cloudy yellow. Lovely sweet malty flavour with a light Belgian yeast flavour. Refreshing and satisfying.

Poured from a 12 ounce bottle into a snifter. Golden yellow color with nice carbonation. Taste is slightly and I mean slightly sweet with a dry finish. This is a rather spicy beer that is not all that hoppy. Overall a good beer that could be better if it was a little sweeter ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Smells delicious like caramel, bread, vanilla and hazelnuts. It’s very strong in just plain beer taste. It’s a bit spicy but I’d just consider it to be a strong typical beer taste...I don’t know if I’d buy again, I’ll decide later.

Currently drinking while typing. Nice aromas of Belgian yeast, sugary malts, light toffee and subtle floral hops. The beer pours out with a small white head balanced on a fresh golden vibrant brew, this bottle seems bruised and not as carbonated as previous ones. Tastes of good malts, sweetness, Belgian yeasts, very minimal alcohol note, light caramel and a touch of fruitiness too. Great feel in the mouth, not heavy or pungent on the tongue, light and crisp. The carbonation is usually fine with this brew but I am sure it must have been knocked about this one because it is near on flat which is dissapointing. Very good beer, it was memorable when I first tried it as I was always in relation to American light piss water beers. I haven’t dug out the best of the USA yet but I know they make some great stuff! Recommended!

Bottle. Pours cloudy golden with a small head. Aroma belgian hops, earth. Very belgian overall in the style, so much so that it’s an average Belgian. Not Bad.

Super clear but thousands of particles slowly floating about. Aroma of sweet malt, banana, apricot, belgium yeast and slight saaz hops. Taste has warming alcohol, like a belgium triple but has a pilsner, bubblegum aftertaste. Some grape like fruit, esters and spice. Big surprise actually. Top banana!
