Very nice beer to be enjoyed at any moment and eventhough it is stronger in alcohol compared to others beers, you do not feel overwhelmed after one.

330ml bottle. Pours yellow/gold with a generous 2 finger head that fades to a bubbly 1/4 finger. Very highly carbonated. Some yeast in the aroma, citrus, and sugar overall very light. Not an overly complex taste, quite sweet, light with a faint bitterness. Fades very quickly and leaves a somewhat soapy aftertaste. Fizzy on the tongue with a light body. Is better on tap but would always choose the brune.

Bottle and tap many, many times. Tonight, a bottle shared with Lyoli to celebrate her birthday. Pours a clear, dull gold with a medum, white head. Loads of Belgian sugar, caramel and yeast on the nose. The flavor, not surprisingly, is quite sweet, with brown and demerera sugar, and alcohol. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Sugary on the finish with prominent Belgian yeast and light alcohol notes. A decent beer.

Poured from a 75cl bottle shared with a friend. Clear copper orange with a bubbly head. Good lacing. Bananas, spice and light vanilla toffee on the nose. Taste is malty and sweet, almost like a Hefeweizen. Some white-wine alcohol on the aftertaste. Very good, personally would like a bit more bitterness.

This is an over-priced, lower-rung Belgian beer. I hear it is insanely cheap in Belgium.

bread aroma, citrusy taste, well balanced, refreshing, so good i dream about it.

Purchased at the "Green" Jewel in Chicago, IL; enjoyed on a very cold Tuesday night. I’ve had this a couple of times before rating and it is rather enjoyable. Appearance a pretty clear gold with a very frothy white head. Aroma strong on the clove & spices, a bit of banana, kind of like a weiss. Taste like a mixture between a weiss and a Belgian ale, very nice balance between that distinctive Belgian yeast strain and clove/banana. Very smooth and enjoyable to drink. Rather bready as well, good stuff. Probably the best readily available beer out there on the market today.

33 cl bottle from a local supermarket. It pours a not entirely clear deep golden liquid with a white consistent high head, with good lacing. The aroma is very grassy and yeasty, with hints of banana peel and orange, and some nice malts. The taste is terrific! Typical belgian blonde, similar to the aroma, but with a little more banana and more malty. It tastes medium sweet, with a low bitterness. It might be a little too carbonated, but it has a smart creamy feel in the mouth. Very refreshing. Long semi-dry finish, very pleasant. Good presentation: it is clear from the beginning that this is an abbey beer; still, they could use some personalized crown cap. This is a standard for belgian ales; might be the best one to introduce people to belgian brews. Awesome! Close to perfection!
