Bottle: Clear gold with a large white head. Wheaty bananas in the nose with some warming clove and peppery alcohol presence. There’s a slightly metallic grassy edge though, as well as a touch of creamed corn. In the mouth banana esters and some wheat tang, but it’s all a little underwhelming, despite a nice, creamy mouthfeel and gentle warmth. What really grates is a wet cardboard taste that accompanies the corn aroma. Pretty dissapointing.

Very fruity aroma of apple, mango and yeast. Hazy orange colour, thick white head. Orange taste, nice long bitter aftertaste.

Bottle at home. Refreshing ale with a kick to it. Fast-head, orange, smells and tastes citrusy. Sugar picks up at the end.

Pours a deep golden orange with an initially large white head, which fades. . Soft and different. A bit fruity, hints of pears, green grapes (white wine like), touch of old basement. Light fluffy mouthfeel. Sweetness is present. Fruity, pears a bit muscat like. Touch of green grapes, apricot. A bit of a stale charateristic, corky flavor, almost reminiscent of wet basement. Soggy woodchip, late alcohol hint. Different.

Bottle. Colour is golden with a hazy look to it. Fine white head. Aroma is peaches, spices, yeast, and maybe even some lemon. Flavour is sweet. Body I thought was light-medium. Smooth sweet finish (**).

Beer pours deep gold, almost orange, with white head. The white head is thick and laces the glass heavily. The aroma is a little grassy, lots of sweet malts, sugar, and lots of yeast - very bready and sweet with some alcohol, too. The beer is very bready and malty, very little hops, some sweetness. The finish is thinner, with a little hops and some astringent, grassy flavors.

Gold with a merange like head. Big aroma of peaches and spices. Lots of fruit flavour without too much spice. I prefer it like this. The spices do however contribute to an excellent bitter finish. I don’t usually like this style but I really liked this regardless of this bottle not being trappist. Probably the best of this style I’ve drunk. Much, much better than the Jopen blonde I had recently.
