With such a very clear golden pour, it was hard to imagine it would pack 8%abv. medium carbonation. Herbal and spicy a little hoppy with a slight touch of citrus/orange.

uh. The aroma and color on this are fine. The flavor however, at least for me, was offensive if anything. VERY sweet, with plenty of booze at the end. Other than the putrid sweetness, there was not much. maybe i got a bad bottle, but there was some sort of sweet,sour,rancid flavors going on!

Bottle. Pours a clear gold with a 1/2 inch white head. Lots of banana, clove, citrus and yeast in the aroma. The initial flavor was very spicy, with cloves, corriander, but this faded away into a nice sweet Belgian style strong ale. Smooth finish. Very well done.

Bottle. Very sweet Belgian strong ale, but the sweetness is held in check for the most part by a nice bitter/tart finish and a bite from the alcohol. Clear yellow body. Average size small white head that diminishes. The aroma is lightly bready with orange citrus, lemon and pineapple notes and hints of coriander and honey. The flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly bitter and moderately acidic. Off-taste of pencil lead along with apple juice. Peppery, slightly alcohol finish. Comfortable warming. Medium body with a smooth texture and lively carbonation.

Pours a clear gold. Aroma is fruit (banana and lemon) and yeast. Flavour is sweet medium malt and slightly spiced but is overtaken by a stickey alc presence in the finish. A little dissapointing.

Pour is a clear bright golden with a average white head. Aroma is nice with lots of banana, citrus and yeast. Flavor is spicy with some corriander and a bit of cloves. A decent attempt at a Belgian, a little watery in some areas, but this is something to try.

Yellow colored topped with a modest white head. Aroma was slightly spicy with lemon and banana. Flavor was quite sweet with a mix of bananas, yeast and lemon. Not a bad summer beer but the flavors were a bit strong. Not sure what the abv was but maybe that had something to do with it. I’d say that this is an average beer but more than suitable for the summer.
