3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 Bazal (16) - - JUN 23, 2009
A nice beer. Pours a clear gold colour with an airy, white head. A nose of wet vegetation and bready yeast. The flavour is light, crisp and sweet, with notes of fruit, oatmeal, and a slight touch of honey. It has a nice, dry finish but also a slight bitter note that makes it hard to drink more than one or two...

Faint yeast aroma, golden clear pour. Honeyed apple flavor with yeasty funk rising behind it. Rather crisp. Very nice.

A taste of honey as a beer. Sweet, tastefull and very good from tap. One of my absolute favourites.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 FaithHealer1 (227) - SCOTLAND - MAY 26, 2012
Keg at The Maltings, York. Nostalgic beer for me, as I remember drinking it watching qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa. Pours a clear amber, finger of pillowy head. Aroma is banana, wheat, Belgian esters. Taste is similar, stronger than is expected and nice and juicy, with a bit of bread too. Long finish. Really very nice.

Rating #44 for 2012
12oz bottle cool from a shaker glass. Aroma woody, apple juice, some bubble gum. A 1 inch chalky white head over golden amber liquid spotty watery lacing. Taste was sweet the way wet weat smells. Medium carbonation finished very smooth.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Niksko (16) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - MAY 24, 2012
330ml bottle into a pint glass.
Couldn’t find bottling date information anywhere but the best before was 18/4/13.
Three fingers of rocky, sparkling white head that fades slowly to leave a nice cap.
Decent lacing throughout.
Color is a beautiful light golden, with a tiny tiny bit of orange
Aroma is bready, with hints of banana
Flavour is banana for days, with flavours of wheat and just the smallest bit of citrus on the finish and a hint of something sweet. Perhaps a slight bit of spiciness in there on the mid palate, but nothing significant.
Very crisp, light and clean with a short finish and only a slight, hint of bitterness (so small I didn’t notice it at first).
Overall a decent tasting beer, but I’m not a fan of the excessive banana and the palate is pretty simplistic.

Sweet aroma, sort of like a banana. Strong presence of cloves. Not my favorite Belgian beer, but easy to find so it will do.

On tap at Byron Pub in Cannes. Clear yellow pour with a white head. Cereal and Belgian yeast aromas. The taste follows suit. I find this beer to be bland, lifeless, and devoid of soul. A casualty of in-bevs nefarious and incestous desire to rule the world....
