33 cl. bottle. Pours a thick, rapidly shrinking white head, over a slightly cloudy, yellow (SRM 5-10) body....nose of spice (coriander, allspice, slight clove), fruits (lemon, banana), bubblegum.....taste initially slightly sweet gradually evolving through the spice flavors mentioned ending in medium bitterness.....mouth feel is medium. the overall spice is present, more sweetness than some, carbonation is higher than I like. That complaint registered, I like it.

I bought this because it was advertised as a "98 point Rate Beer" beer. A decent Trappist beer with a smooth taste. Not the best in the world, but worth the money.

11.2oz bottle. hazy yellow pour with a small white head that leaves a ring. aroma is understated but nice blend of spice, lemon, banana and pepper. taste is sweet candy up front then hints of banana, clove, coriander, bready yeast, floral and honey. good all around balance of the many flavors. tingly medium texture. sweet bready finish.

Clear yellow pour, makes budweiser look thick. Awesome nose, mainly banana but a strong underscent of citrus specifically lemon both of which you find in the taste with an all-so pleasant sweetness probably from the winter wheat. A little too fizzy to fully appreciate its full flavor though it deserves its rating.

Dégusté avec Pyrozoid. Explosion lors de l’ouverture.... Faites attention. Apparence or brumeuse avec une belle mousse blanche qui tiens bien au verre. Aromes de coriandre, bananes, apricots, citron et purée de pomme. Tres douce, crémeuse, jolie effervescence en bouche avec un corps bien rond. Moyenne amertume avec un petit coté sucré bien balancé et finition sec. Gout de coriandre, bananes, gruau au peche.
