Pale hazy yellow. In the aroma I got a nice fresh lemon, coriander, a touch of anise and a peppery note. This beer goes on forever. You taste coriander, fresh bread and lemon at first, then comes an anise burst and when you think the beer is gonna fall, you get a nice drizzle of nutmeg.

Big sweet banana aroma. Cloudy white body with thick, pillowy white head that lasts and lasts. Mild spiciness on a sweet refreshing beer. Just a bit over-carbonated but nice creamy mouthfeel. On tap.

Nouveau witbier...Palpable banana fragrance and imbedded wheat...A spicy and plump yeasty sieve yields an emancipating star anise and supporting nutmeg...A surrealist interpretation which remains a belgian wit at its core, but offers creative spiciness which takes the style to further realms...

A very interesting interpretation of the style. After the stout (Déesse Nocture), this was my favorite from their offering. Nice refreshing tart wit but spiced differently with nutmeg and anise and pepper taking the brunt of the flavour profile.

Lightly hazy golden yellow body with a creamy white head (3+). Moderate licorice and anise notes in the aroma, tough to tease apart spices. Stronger anise in the flavour, with a milder nutmeg partners, and light bitterness in the finish lingers in to the aftertaste along with the anise. (8+) Average palate is pleasantly effervescent. I very much liked this one, but I don’t know that I could consume more than a glass or two in a sitting.
