750 ml. bottle, shared with Gabe. Pours very exuberantly, watch out for bubbling over, thin head of good duration, very slight lacing over a golden yellow cloudy body.....nose is fruity, banana, some bubblegum aromas, some honey.....tastes of mace, nutmeg, allspice with sweetness throughout, mild hop bitterness at finish, with alcohol and a bit of medicinal finish....mouth feel light and slightly watery.

ALL time favorite beer - I had this in a glass at Addy’s in Greenville, SC - I love the fresh spicey aroma of this beer - it has a haze when poured and thin head that stays throughout the drink - Not too heavy - I could drink this beer everyday!

Bomber. Poured light golden and hazy with a thick white head and strong lacing. Lots of hoppy spice in the nose and a subtle sweetness (bananas?). Sweet malty flavor complimented with fresh hops. Smooth mouthfeel with a slight punch of carbonation in the finish. A fantastic belgian ale.

750ml from Drankencentrale. Clear straw color with medium to large head, nice lacing. Slight grass, spicy hops, dry aroma. Flavor is slight spicey/floral hops with grainy malt, subtle sweetness, banana, nice. Medium body with light carb. Slightly pilsner in sensation atleast there are some hops to round it out, sessionable.

Hazy straw color leaving nice white lacing. Fruity and yeasty (typical Belgian) aroma. Rich on the tongue, malty and the hops seem like they could be aged so little aroma, but some flavor. I’d love to have one of these every night.

750ml bottle. pretty good stuff. lacks the kick in carbonation of duvel, which i prefer. otherwise, the brew can be characterized as a prototypical golden belgian ale.
