Pours a golden yellow with a small off-white head. Aroma of yeast and fruit. Flavour matches, with a creamy body and medium acidity. Nothing special, but a nice Belgian.

Bottle from Midtown for 1.99. Pours golden with a slight haze and a dense, frothy white head. Webby lacing. Aroma of banana esters and wheat malts. Lighter side of medium bodied with fine carbonation. Flavor of pale wheat malt, banana, and apple the quickly transitions to yeasty and clove finish. Slightly vegetal on the finish as well, and perhaps a little past it’s prime.

Shared this one w/SkyCop32. Pours a medium golden yellowish color. Aromas of fruit, yeast and some pepper. Flavors are sour, yeasty, and a touch of sweetness at the finish.

Bottle: Golden, hazy with plenty of UFO’s, stable medium-sized creamy off-white head; moderate to solid sweetish citrussy and honeyish nose; creamy MF, medium bodied, moderate sweet-bitter flavour with a light acidity; citrus-fruits detectable in the light to moderate sweetish-sourish finish. Not too complex, but very pleasant......

Thick creamy persistent head. Sweet smell and taste almost brandy like-unmistakably a Beligian blond. Medium body. Good slow drinking beer. 6.8% abv.

Poured from a 12oz. bottle into a pint glass. The color is an deep orange with about two fingers of white foamy head and some nice lacing. The smell is sweet with some tart citrus flavor. It is also spicey with some clove and sweet malts. The taste is spicy with some fruit flavor. Some citrus flavor with hints of lemon and orange. Some nice peppery spice flavor that is also giving it a bit of a tart flavor. The feel of this beer is pretty light. IT has a nice crisp feel and is really refreshing.
