POurs hazy yellow with notes of banana and white pepper. The yeast drives into the palate with some resiidual cotton candy. You also see some orange in here as well. A long finish.

Pours hazy but bright yellow with a huge white head. Lots of bubbles in this one. Banana, yeast, champagne, green apples, and bubble gum in the nose. Taste was a cross between a trippel and a German hefe. Bubblegum and banana aplenty up front. Tart pear and apple bite in the middle, and finishes with a sweet, spicy coriander, orange, yeast concoction. The over-effervescence of the carbonation detracted from this, but it was still a good brew.

Hazy golden, looked like a tripel, but lacked a ton of flavor. Had this right after a Westmalle and... well, it fell short. Still a good brew.

Pours honey colored with a quickly dissipating white head. Faint aromas of banana and champagne with no appreciable hop bouquet. Tastes like pear and grape with a pleasantly astringent finish. Medium body.

12 oz. bottle pours a cloudy golden with beautiful head which reduces quickly to a tight white cap with minimal lacing. Smells like sunshine and dandelions, with a front palate of lemony-citrus, middle palate of clementine and corriander and a finish of yeasty sparkle. Sweet but not overly cloying. I can certainly see why it’s called the "Gift of God." For me it’s perfectly reminiscent of a crisp spring day.

Slight sweetness to the aroma, along with the standard Unibroue spice element. Hints of banana, wheat, and yeast are in there as well. It pours a cloudy orange with a big fluffy white head, that fades to about half a finger floating on top. Some orange notes in the flavor, as well as the Unibroue yeast spiciness again. The alcohol is amazingly well hidden, and I wonder to myself how long will it take for the Unibroue yeast notes to fade out in a cellar.

Bottle from Cruzat: Fruity, banana, dough, vanilla, citric. Murky color with lots of sediment. 9% abv well hidden.

Beautiful, hazy, golden with a huge, but quickly disappearing head. The aroma has notes of fruit, sweetness and a hint of yeast. The flavour is initially very sweet, but I gradually get used to it. It has notes of light fruit, but in a heavy way, I find peach, banana, some coriander and citrus, mostly in the finish. The alcohol isn’t present and It’s a nice beer.
