Jan 11, 2009 Bottle from Selfridges Oxford Street, London.
Very light yellow with a lot of yeast, (even when carfully poured) compact white head. Banana, fruits and spice.
Finishes rather abrupt.

Jan 9, 2009 Yellow pour with a white head. Aroma of malts and yeast. Flavor is usual and mostly malts and yeast. A good beer but I didn’t find it anything special.

Jan 8, 2009 Dégusté dans le même verre que la bière. Apparence de couleur orange ambré foncé avec une bonne mousse qui colle au verre, bien gazéfier avec dépôt de levure en suspension. Odeur malté de banane, mangue, alcool et pain. Goût franc de houblon et de sucré, de caramel et d’agrume. Il y a aussi comme épices: de la corriande et de la muscade. Plutôt bien, comme à chaque fois.

Jan 8, 2009 330ml bottle. Hazy golden body with a big, foamy off-white head. Aroma is fruity, spicy, yeast. Flavor is sweet malty, lots of refreshing fruit and a rather alcoholic finish. There is some kind of bitterness here as well, but not hoppy, more like from harsh fruit. The beer is nice, quite sweet but compensated with refreshing fruit, medium body, and a nice finish. Maybe a bit to much alcohol in the aftertaste.

Jan 8, 2009 330ml bottle from Dan Murphy’s into a Trappist glass. It comes in a garish ceramic bottle that doesn’t bode well but it turns out to be a fine Belgian ale. A cloudy golden liquid with lots of floaty bits and a huge rocky white head. Healthy aromas of citrus fruits and sweet bready malts. Smooth on the palate with similar flavours to the nose. Some banana and peaches in there as well. Thickish mouthfeel with a medium sweet spicy finish. Not as good as a Duvel though.

Jan 8, 2009 Light honey colored brew with a sticky meringue head that left significant lacing on the inside of the glass. Yeasty, lemon biscuit aroma and a flavor. Flavor is sweeter than you would expect but the lemony sourness finds the palate...creamy and filling. Decent beer but would have to be in the mood.
