Pours a bright golden color with a pillow like head. Nose of honey, malts and sweetness. Flavor is sweet, sticky malts with honey, corn and a bit of a metal flavor. Medium bodied. A bit sweeter than I like, but still enjoyable.

Wow. Really good brew right here. Pours a bright straw yellow into the glass. I hate to compare the look of it to this but it looks like a miller or coors. But thats where the similarity stops right there. Great flavor, nice hops presence with a solid malt backbone. Great beer and definitely worth a try

Bottle. Pale golden with small white head. Smells of honey, cherry? bit of citrus. Taste has a lot of bread, mildly bitter finish, not a whole lot going on. Drinkable but I’m not crazy about it, smells better than it tastes.

Can. Golden body with a medium white head. Spicy aroma with malty and fruity notes. Lots of banana and a touch of hops. Flavour very fruity with hints of caramel, banana, spicy yeast and a bite of alcohol. Medium bodied. Ends up fruity and spicy.

Clear golden color with a large white head. Aroma of malt, yeast, fruit, banana and a spicy note. Taste is malty with some hoppy bittterness. Some banana here also. Pretty good on even though it doesnt seem like a blonde to me.

Bottled, 330ml. Gold to brown with white head, floaters. Pretty sweet straight from the off, with a spiced and fruity body, possibly over spiced for me. Yeasty, malty but there is a certain lack of depth. Had many better Abbey Tripels.

Golden with a disapearing white head. Aroma dominated by fruit (banana) and spice from the yeast. Dry and slightly caramelly, with a slightly tart spicy note.
