citrus and spice aroma with maybe a hint of vanilla.... golden haze with medium head...strong spice and citrus flavor with a tad of sweetness.... not as much as others which makes it a nice change...very crisp..

Pours a blond color with a nice head. A strong Belgian ale, but not quite as sweet as some others. A nice fruit taste. A very refreshing beer that’s easy to drink.

Clover and banana, similar to a Hefe. Appearance is golden with creamy head. Flavor of clover, banana and white grape. Palate was creamy. Almost like a Belgian Hefeweizen. Somewhat overrated, methinks.

FCBF 09 poured from bottle at Ommegang booth (one of the best stops). Is this made with wheat? Just wondering because of the banana character detected. Honeyish taste, very delicate and tasty. Great stuff.

The aroma is a citrusy champagne aroma, orange zest hops. Outstanding fruity spice aroma. Belgian spice ale, bubblegum. Ground pepper and light banana. No head in the appearance. Uber-cloudy, golden yellow. Specks of yeast sediment. Glowing color. The flavor is spicy orange peel and fresh pepper. Cloves, light banana and prickly, crystalline orange. Bubblegum. No balance of bitterness, but a good flavor. Prickly and fizzy feel like champagne. The sediment is most certainly present. Citrusy and spicy, prickly and damned good, although not balanced.

Pours hazy orange with lots of floaties and a white head that sticks around for quite awhile. The aroma is orange, esters, champagne, muscat grapes, and a touch of malt. The flavor is relatively laid back for the style and strength and is on the sweet side with some malt and a metallic hint. The beer goes down pretty well despite high carbonation.

Surprised I hadn’t rated this, but now I expect to have it all the time, because my girlfriend enjoys ordering it so much now that I expect it will happen again. Pours orangey with a bright white ring. Nose is honeyied and sweet. Taste is sweet ok.

Bottle and Tap. Cloudy golden color with a spicy strong aroma. Very smooth flavor with no feeling that it is 8%. One of my favorite Belgian Beers.
