courtesy of ridley Had this one many times and yet forgot how wonderful it is to crack one of these opened. pours cloudy golden, white head aroma and flavor, exquisite tropical fruits meshed together with a nice Belgian yeast mouthfeel, hints of spices and sugar. Overall palate is thick and sweet follwoed by a light bitter hops adding citrus that were more on the sweet side rather than adding extra bitterness.

750ml bottle from SAQ. drank out of tulip. pours a hazy golden yellow with a frothy head that lasts and leaves some nice lacing. aroma is very yeasty, sour dough bread. taste is a bit sweet, with lots of yeast. slight hops in the finish. feels nice on the palate, medium carbonation. a very good belgian blonde.

One of the beers that i prefer very often. Aromas of fruits, malts, hop and spicies (coriander). Taste is the same: malty, fruity (orange,lemon), yeasty and spicy.Nice aftertaste.Medium body. Very easy drinkable.

Had a glass at Eulogy bar in Philly. Pours a hazy Yellow color with a medium white head. Aroma of spices banana, clove, grain and lots of citrus. Not much bitterness. You don’t taste the alcool at all for a 8% beer. I really loved it and it finished my very nice trip to Philly quite well.

Draught - Fat Cat, Norwich. Pours a golden yellow with a lasting creamy, two finger white head. Light citrus fruit aromas, bit of estery banana. Delicate floral, citrus fruit flavours. A hint of coriander and spice with a dry subtle bitterness. Thin to medium body amd medium carbonation. Light and drinkable but relatively disappointing.

Bottle. Birthday present from my brother. Pours a hazy straw colour with large rocky slifhtly off white head. Nice lacing. Aromas of grain, spice bananas an belgium yeast. Slightly sour. Flavours once again of malt and fruit. Some sourness and plenty of trypical belgium yeast esters. Carbonation and mouthfeel are as expected. Good beer.

Hazy yellow color with a tall frothy white head. Aroma of grain, spice, and banana. Flavor of yeast, fruit, clove and other spices. Well-carbonated with solid lacing. Very enjoyable!
