The aroma contained yeast and undertermined flavors. The appearance was amber, cloudy with a frothy head. Full body with medium bitterness.

Cloudy light-orange color. Appearance reminds me of a hefeweizen. Smells of yeast and spice. At first sip: heavy corriander and spices. Lemon, too... maybe. Effervescent. So dry it resembles a champagne.

The head is huge, I had to pour in segments because the head is so over the top. White pillowy head sits nicely over a golden yellow beer with a lot of yeast sediment floating about. Lacing is also nice. Smell is spicy, hops, coriander, bananas, cinnamon and maybe a little alcohol. Taste is a little more boozy than I was expecting from the head, somewhat astringent, and then the spices hit you. The dubbel is better, not that this is bad by any stretch.

Brown coloured beer with medium off white head. Malty aroma a little fruity. Full palate. Malty and bitter ending some alcoholic touches. I liked this one.

12oz bottle purchased from LCBO in Toronto. Pours a nice cloudy light gold with some rougher dark floaties. Nice yeasty aroma. The first taste has an initial yeastiness that quickly moves to a warming mouthfeel. The flavour is full and rich. The alcohol warmth is the main quality to this one, along with some associated spiciness.
