Pours a cloudy yellow with a white head and serious white lacing. Banana, clove and a sweet finish. A bit of a bitter bite towards the end of the sip. Spicey, yeasty aroma reminds you you are drinking a belgian beer. Pretty remarkable this is the first time I have gotten to this one. Pretty well rounded and complex beer.

33cl bottle. Pours golden with a soft creamy head, exciting carbonation. Superb lacing. Fruity, complex nose including banana, lemon and orange. Strong aroma of sweet honey, slight hops, and alcohol. Rich, hoppy flavour that is absolutely amazing. Malt and honey. Has an enjoyable bite with a zesty, clean finish with some bitterness and alcohol. Amazing.

Cloudy golden with a thick, lasting head. A little skunky out of the bottle, but after it sat for a minute or so it smelled more spicy than skunky. Banana and yeast in the nose, with the spicy note. Flavor is almost that of a saison, with a musty, fruity dryness. An interesting beer, and not what I expected. A little light for a tripel. Alcohol is well-hidden, however.

Bottle, saved for 500th rating. Sweet fruity aroma. Cloudy orange body, gigantic white head. Flavor is powerful, sweet, all kinds of fruit and malt. Spices, too, and alcohol. Nice finish. Great stuff.

Bouteille de 33 cl. deguste avec french tickler. Une biere de couleur blonde avec un bon collet moyennement collant. Odeur de pommes, sucre, fleural, banane et un peu dorange. Gout sucre, tres bon en bouche, picottement au niveau de la langue. Tres bonne biere.
