Bottle 33 cl. Aroma of alcohol and sweet malts. Taste of fruits. Carbonation is average.

herbs, citrus, golden, white foam, light sweetness, medium bitterness, medium sourness, full body, average carbonation, long finish,

Cloudy gold body with a fluffy white head. Aroma of banana chips and that’s about it. Flavor is sweet and fruity. Bananas namely, but not in the same way as a hefe. A hint of yeast in the flavor too. The body falls a bit flat, and the beer for the most part is not very memorable.

Banana and spice is very nice, except actually it’s kinda gross. It’s like candied banana pie, with some other yeast and fruit stuff. Kind of a mess.

750 ml. bottle. Pours an exhuberant head which rapidly diminishes, color is a lovely reddish tinged golden, nose of spice, yeast, with floral overtones, tastes of spice, malts, many different esters flow through, some better than others, mouth feel is good, late finish includes bitterness and a very late iodine overtone.

Bottle at home ... every so slight pink amber ... Ever so big yeasty nose ... big vine fruits ...plums and grapes and candy sugar ... little yeastyness ... little citrus

Clay bottle... 50 cl.. Love it when the wrapping is a show off. Pours a dark goden with a fading head.The nose is expressive and kicking with citrus mixed with grass, butter, iodine, vanilla and melted butter. The taste is of cause trappist-like and I taste hops, plums, burned malts and brown sugar with a well-balanced finish. Thx to Faith no More for making the sountrack to this one.

Bottle.NIce dark orange pour. Aroma is sweet peaches, yeast. Nice round taste of citrus, banana and peaches. Not great but a nice solid example of the style.
