Aroma has some lemon notes as well as light hops and yeast. Average size creamy white head is mostly lasting. Medium gold colour with lively carbonation. Flavour is light to moderately bitter with light acidity. A good amount of alcohol is present in the long finish which balances the sweetness. Medium bodied with a slightly dry texture.

Poured golden with a creamy white head. Great head retention. This was a beautiful looking beer I must say. Aroma had honey melon, vanilla, and butterscotch. The taste and aroma really reminded me of a tripel I could not really tell the difference but still I really liked this beer.

Gold in colour with some really good aromas of banana, pear, yeast, and various spices. The flavor is a bit of a letdown, as it begins with a fairy harsh metallic note. On the back end, things return to normal, with some more fruity (banana) elements coming to the fore, along with some light breadiness and some butterscotch sweetness. This would be a pretty good beer if not for the metallic note.

This is an enjoyable Belgian Ale, but there’s little to distinguish it from the other thousands of these here in northern France. It pours a transparent gold, the alcohol is well hidden in the nose and in the taste. It is mostly malty, very carbonated, and a bit watery. Most of these Belgians have a bit of what one could perhaps describe as "saltiness" in the finish.

(bottle) Bottle conditioned? Well, there is almost no trace of sediment; a bit sweetish, has a good spicy character that makes it interesting.

A Mes rate: Not really my thing at all but for what it is I think it’s fairly decent. On the darker side of golden. Melon and banana in the malty aroma. Toffee flavour with a very slight tartness that is a plus point. Nice crisp finish. Not bad.

Golden with white head. Fruits and honey in the aroma. The flavour is dominated by honey but also contain some caramel.
