Dec 28, 2004 Bottle from gift pack with glass. Hazy dark golden pour with little head. Aroma was nice fruity, malty, but not very strong. Very nice delicate flavor of banana and peach. Lightly hopped and well matched to the fine flavor. Slightly sharp finish. I liked this a lot, much more tasty than the low average rating it has recieved. Very pleasant blond ale. Very tasty and good looking in the Koningshoven gold-rimmed glass. Many of the ratings on the Ratebeer website just don’t make any sense, it gets a 3.71 on beeradvocate which is much more sensible. Even swill from Sam Adams gets a 3.3 on this system. This ale is quite delicious. No accounting for taste here... and while I’m complaining, this website has more downtime and server issues than any other website that I use.. (sorry for the rant...I’m through now)

Dec 21, 2004 Bottle. Amber color with a whitish head. Fruity banana aroma with yeast and malt. Malt, fruit, and big banana flavors. Medium body with a certain smoothness. Some metallic flavors to end with.

Dec 6, 2004 Pours murky golden yellow with a big white head. Aroma is yeasty banana and some citrus maybe orange? Banana did not show up well in the flavor mostly a light malt taste with a slightly dry bitter finish. Just lacks a bit in flavor. Overall decent.

Dec 1, 2004 Yellow color much cargo, veiled aspect.
Adherent foam. Good scent but without expected particular. Too much high lightly the alcoholic degree.
Altogether good.

Oct 18, 2004 Great aroma from yeast. Fruity peach and secondary citrus taste, easy drink. Good 1st or 2nd beer. A great pale. Hoppy too.

Oct 3, 2004 A golden/amber color, with light co2 and a full white head (low retention). Light aroma hop, and smells of bubblegum, malt, cider and banana. Flavor is lightly sweet -- malt and banana with a tart and lightly acrid finish. Palate is light bodied, but lively and effervescent.
IMHO: No brouhaha here. I am partial to Belgian beer, but this one is not very remarkable and poorly balanced.

Aug 28, 2004 Golden color with a thick white head.
Sweet fruit aroma with a bit of a musty
scent. Sweet malt and fruit flavor but
not overly so. Finish is a little tart and
bitter. I’m surprised at the fairly low
average for this beer. I liked it quite a bit.
