Pours a clear yellow-gold color with a medium ivory white head that evaporates steadily. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of sweet malt and yeast plus some banana. Medium body with a sweet fruity character and notes of doughy malt and yeast. The finish is short with a banana and wheat aftertaste. Pretty average overall.

Bottle shared by a friend. Pours a hazy gold color with a thin white head. Banana and grainy malt nose with some breadiness. Sweet syrupy flavor with banana and spice before a sweet honey finish.

Taste is honey, yeast and hard candy. A little too sweet for me, at least compared to other Belgian strong ales.

gold with a white head. nose is heavy on the yeast, light fruits, nutmet/spice, and light grain. easy on the palate, clove/nutmeg, light fruits, honey, and yeast in the finish.

Bottle @ home. Slightly hazy, golden appearance with a white head. Slightly floral, lemon citrusy, pale malty, belgian yeasty aroma. Floral, slightly bitter, soapy hoppy, tangy, banana, citrusy, belgian yeasty flavor. Not very smooth.

draft... medium gold, murky... smells and tastes really sweet, too sweet to drink, however considering how bad ska is, this is shockingly good

Clear golden-orange with a tiny, dirty looking whitish head. Mild aroma of bubble gum, spice, bread and banana. A bit of a thin taste that’s yeasty, spicy and sweet with alcohol and a mild bitterness. Medium bodied, kind of flat. Not very good.
