Smells pretty good; a little hoppy, actually. A little weak in the flavoring and a bit too wheaty, but okay.

The aroma is sweet, malty, and yeasty to the point of smelling like cheese. There are also nutty, lemon, and metallic elements as well but they are very faint. The appearance is gold and a little hazy with a large foamy head. The flavor is quite nice. It is dominated by malt but also has some fruit and mild citrus. The palate is pretty good as well as this beer.

11.2 oz bottle pours pale golden very cloudy with a fluffy white head that stays pretty well and laces. Aroma is yeast and slight lemon. Flavor is quite yeasty. Notes of bannana, pear, honey, and spice in the flavor as well. Feels light and airy in the mouth plenty of carbonation. Finish is quite dry. All in all pretty tasty..

Clear blond colour, large white head. Fruity and hoppy aroma, but also a little duff. Full body, but with a rather flat finish. light bitter, some hints of tequila? Some sweet touches as well.

Musky, grainy, phenolic aroma. Fair looks: small Belgian bottle, decent label, cloudy golden beer, lacing head. The malting has a musty twang - it reminded me too much of cheap cream ale or something. Finishes quickly, except for the skunky yeast that hangs around too long. Mildly tart. DIsappointing.

Golden colour with a faint haze and a white head. Sweet fruity aroma with a yeasty note. Malty and quite sweet flavor with a yeasty and light spicy finish.
