judasbeer (229), Budapest, Hungary May 22, 2009 Deep golden color with fluffy white head. Quite good lacing. Intense fruity aroma of banana, vanilla and moderate spiciness. Sweet malt flavor with sugar candy, vanilla, and tea biscuits. Medium body with lively carbonation. Abrupt, short clove feel in the finish. WVHouseofBeer (335), Morgantown, West Virginia, USA May 21, 2009 Had a nice golden color and a decent amount of head. Rich flavors of spices, citrus, and hops, and went down smoothly. chrisv10 (335), Denmark May 20, 2009 Nice Blond from Leffe. It leaves a very sharp tingle in the mouth but has a great flavor. walrussell (93), , Illinois, USA May 18, 2009 Tastes like honey and cloves - great head - manages to have a lot of great flavor but still be light - sweet flavor, less actual sweetness (which is great) - light body except when you get a lot of head - nice slight hoppiness at the very end.
I kinda agree with the copy - it is "a ’connoisseur’ beer that is easy to drink." Its true because the flavor hits up front and then the beer retreats into a less flavorful crispiness. The end would remind me of any of a 1000 crappy beers, except for 2 things - the way the beginning flavor lingers, and the hoppiness at the end. Meatmallet (120), Salem, Illinois, USA May 16, 2009 Pours a golden copper color with a huge white head.Smell is fairly light with hints of yeast and banana and spice. I was a bit disappointed that it was not more powerful.The taste is better than the nose would leade you to believe. Spices and Belgian yeast with a little bit of a bitterness at the end.High carbonation and a light body make it easy to drink.
llcooldave (309), San Antonio, Texas, USA May 16, 2009 Golden honey color. Very complex brew... Sweet floral aroma with a touch of lavender & bubblegum. Complimented nicely with a clean spicy floral sweet taste and a peppery aftertaste. Overall, a decent brew, a solid Belgian offering. chandler0201 (341), Durham, North Carolina, USA May 14, 2009 Golden pour with large white head that never really diminished, as typical of a Belgian. Some bananas and orange in the aroma, flavor is malty and carbonated but very limited in scope. Ok but there are other better examples of this.
