Bottle. Pours a golden amber/cloudy yellow with a ton of effervescent white head. The aroma is is banana, apple, and some light alcohol. Flavor is sweet with bubblegum and banana. No hops. Syrupy palate. Clean finish. Exceedingly drinkable despite the alcohol. Very good.

750 mL into tulip. Pours a cloudy golden yellow with a beautiful, three-finger white head with great retention and spotty lacing. Strong witbier aroma of cloves, coriander, nutmeg along with floral hops and pineapple juice. Taste is sugary with Belgian yeast, pineapple, peach, banana, citrus hops, spices. Cloying alcohol knocks this one down a few points. Nice, dry finish. Yum.

On tap @ Cafe Belgique. Hazy orange body with a big, foamy off-white head. Aroma is sweet malty, citric fruity, spicy and a hint of alcohol. Flavor is sweet malty, very fruity, and spicy with a light and warming hint of alcohol with a gentle, balanced bitterness. Really nice, quite mild, flavorful and dangerous quaffable.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a coudy golden orange colour with a medium sized bubbly white head.
Aroma is mainly soft fruit and citrus with hints of bubblegum, corriander, honey, banana and spice. Tastes very similar to the aroma, like a triple wheat beer. Banana, corriander, bubblegum, citrus and spice. The dry bite on the finish is refreshing and makes you want to drink more. Mouthfeel is excellent, fine bubbles and mouth filling. Nice one!

(750ml Bottle from Fat Cat, Norwich) Ahhh! Bottle spewed its contents as soon as the bottle cap came off - managed to evade disaster with some quick thinking pouring into the glass though. Most of the contents remain. Probably got yeast mixed up though. Cloudy in appearance, orange coloured with a medium white head that quickly went. Flowery smell, little bit of hoppiness - elements of citrus, orange, coriander, vanilla, banana and spices. Very pleasant. Well balanced smooth taste - finishes sweet and fresh. Very nice - rich, clear, refreshing. Many of the aromas translate into the drink. Warming alcohol and prickly carbonation. Brilliant.

Interesting and spicy. Malty, sugary, but with hints of sour-tartness and spices. Banana and cloves, kind of a musty earthy presence. Easy to drink.

UPDATED: MAY 11, 2009 Had this Chouffe by draft. It has a hazy blond color with a nice creamy white head. Aroma is fruity malts. Flavors are fruity with a hint of banana and vanilla with a good sweet bitterness and a hint of spices. Its a very plesant and easy to drink beer with a strong taste.

15/03 0.75 l bottle from beershop.hr, shared with Doggythedog. It poured murky golden body with smaller head. Some American hops in aroma, along with cloying Belgian yeast. Fruity malt flavor, sweetish with spicy hops balancing it up. Seemed quite thin body though, so all of its flavors were pretty weak. Nice pleasant finish, but short and weak as well. It was fine, but with stronger character would be definitely a great beer.
