Like many Belgian ales, it has a sweet, malty aroma. The color is pale golden witha tinge of red, and it has a decent amount of carbonation. Sweet, malty taste, maybe a little like corn, with some spiciness. Thin/medium mouthfeel. Nice burn on the palate afterwards, probably a combination of the spices and some hops. Decent, but not my favorite Unibroue.

old rating: 6/3/8/3/14 - 3.4 pour is cloudy, golden (looks like a wheat beer), fizzy, large bubbly white head that dissipates quickly. smell is yeast, ripe banana, wheat, sweet fruit, citrus, and some spice. taste is tangy on the tongue, yeast, some wheat, very carbonated, lemon, pineapple, apple, no alcohol taste, and some spice, leaves the mouth a little dry and a touch on the bitter side.

Had this beer on 7/22/2007. Aroma is a light sweet malt scent. Color is a pale gold with a slight haze. Carbonation is good with a loose white head. Taste is light and sweet. Stating with a light/medium body it goes down easy with a clean feel. Finish comes in with a mellow sweetness that has mild fruit tones then just a touch of bitterness on the end. Overall its a great beer but doesn’t have that Belgian taste that there others have.

hazy yellow appearance, flavors of cloves, banana, and alcohol, aroma of banana. This almost reminded me of a supped up wit

Light fruity aroma. Amazing flavor with banana, citrus, cloves, honey and so much more. Alcohol comes out on the finish, but not too much. Nice full body. I will definately drink this one again.

Pours a hazy slightly dark golden with a good sized head. Aroma of citrus, some banana, and yeast. Nice sweetness, lively on the tounge. Good stuff.

12oz. Pours pretty typical belgian hazy orange, thinner white head than some. Aroma is a bit lacking, mostly menthol from the alcohol. The body makes up for it, though, with banana yeast, cider, corriander, touch of clove, allspice, and custard. A bit sweet, but this has some killer carbonation that really sets this one apart for me and makes it extremely drinkable. Easily one of my favorite North American "New World" attempts at the belgian strong style.
