All the typical flavors and aromas but just a little on the creamy side. Nice. grandgenie (252), gatineau, Quebec, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 25, 2009 Acheté à la SAQ du casino en format de 341ml et dégusté dans un verre de westmalle avec glandine. Apparence blonde ambré avec un moyen collet de mousse. Arômes de grain malté, de citron et de pelure de banane. Goût de pain liquide avec un peu de citron et d’houblon. Bonne carbonation et bon corp. Une bière méritant un léger repos dans un cave pour quelques années...... JaBier (1261), Capital City, Ohio, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 21, 2009 Bottle. Golden coloured pour with a thick white head. Floral, citrus aroma with some malt. A complex tripel that tastes of apple, banana, orange. Quite sweet and lively. A damn fine Belgian beer! beerchugger (307), Colorado, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | May 21, 2009 Pours a beautiful golden color with a full thick head. Lively carbonation makes this beer rather "sparkley". Smells of sweet fruits, complex spices, and some hints of yeast. The tastes of sublte yet complex spice is first and foremost followed by a bit of banana and other sweet fruits; somewhat citrusy. A decent ’fresh bread’ flavor comes through as well. The finish is nice and slightly tart. Fantastic! deyholla (735), Bloomington, Indiana, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 19, 2009 On tap at Delirium. Poured a gold with a white head. Aroma is fruity with a bit of malt. Flavor is complex dominated by a combination of fruit and spices. Soonah (970), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 17, 2009 Poured a clear golden color, with some nice active carbonation streaming upwards to a full, creamy white head. The aroma was yeast, malt, light spice and fruit. The flavor was light yeast, banana and malt. Effortless mouthfeel. Well put together, just lacking personality.
