Pours a murky orange with a creamy, slightly lacing, white head. Fruity aroma with citrus, clove, coriander and banana. Reminds me a bit of a German hefeweizen. Complex fruity aroma with many elements of sweet, sour, bitter and spices with some alcohol. Very interesting and unique, yet very drinkable. Very spicy finish and lots of carbonation. Great brew.

Pours a cloudy yellow with a small short lived head. The aroma is spicy and yeasty. Cloves dominate the palate, with coriander, banana and biscuit. The mouth feel is soft and delicate. Decent, but too much clove.

Thanks to fata for this awesome beer. taste was bananas and spices, very complex. Lots of bread taste too. Carbination was nice and great lacing. Had a nice malt backbone that complemented the beer. Nice beer indeed.

Tasted this beer while on Beer Quest 2010 with the guys. This was beer number 70. Originally had this beer in Ireland with James but never got around to rating it. this was a delicious beer. Pour is perfect. Hazy with lots of sediment. Aroma is sweet malts, coriander. Flavor is well balanced and smooth.

Bottle @ home; after exploding all over the floor and my hand; hazy hazelbrown pour with golden glow. Yeasty and hoppy aroma with fruits, banana, citrus and malts, slightly alcoholic. Slight yeasty and fruity flavour with bitter hops. Nice and full beer.

Bottle from saint bock brewery in Latin quater if Montreal. Pour is awesome, very hazy.. Tons of sediment floating all around. Taste is banana, wheat, coriander, and ester. The boys at hoegaarden should introduce this into the us soon.

Vintage 08. Clear golden with a medium white head. Sweet yeasty aroma with ripe fruits and malty notes. Sweet flavour with malt, yeasty, overripe fruits and caramel notes. Dry finish from the hops. Slightly vinious.
