On tap at Barley John’s. Golden straw in color. Buttery, caramel and light pit fruits aroma. Butterscotch, banana and corny flavor, slightly dusty and sweaty. Acidic in the mouth. Kind of plain and unexciting stuff.

This beer is a muddy golden colour with a rocky and frothy white head. The aromas are distinctly mango/peach and very sweet. There is a hint of butter in the smell as well. The flavour is very sweet in my opinion with a moderately sweet and short-lasting finish. The body feels medium-full and has a syrupy-like texture to it. I noticed a chalky feel on the finish. The beer looks very attractive but I find it sweet and dull. Definitely a sipper. A good belgium beer with not a lot of action.

Has a pleasant faintly spicy aroma. Spicy and flavorful, its not too crazy or funky. I really like this one.

33 cl bottle, ’bbe’ May 08. Light amber coloured, slightly muddy, snow white froth lacing nicely. Cheesy hop nose with a metallic note and a hint of fruit tea. The taste begins sweetish but quickly goes into a light spicy herbal bitterness with a touch of cardboard. A rather abrupt finish without much aftertaste. Smooth, round body and a modest alcoholic warmth.

330 ML Bottle-poured a light golden color w/a large foamy white head. Fruity Belgian aroma. Fresh crisp flavor of citrus, banana, dough, vanalla & apple w/a touch of spice. Very smooth w/good carbonation & lacing-lasted thru the glass. Very easy to drink, long smooth finish. pretty good, not truely great, but pretty good. I’d definitely have it again.

330 mL bottle, 6.8%. Yellow-orange with thick, dense head. The old bananas, cloves and pepper thing going on in the aroma. Flavour is quite complex. The "flavours" from the aroma carry over, but add in some lemon verbena, something floral, and some sweetish malt. There seems to be a sequence of rapidly changing tastes in every part of my mouth. Nothing dominates, though. Not a hint of alcohol. Very good.

Bottle. Huge head, hazy golden yellow, quite bubbly. Fresh citric and light barnyardy aroma. Fruity base, citrus and apples, a hint pineapple. Quick finish. Medium body. Light fruitbread aftertaste. Pleasant but not spectacular.
