Bottle. Hazy yellowish golden colour with a mediumsized white head. Aroma is some spiciness with yeast, mild fruity tones and some slight alcohol sweetness. Flavour is pretty much following the pattern of the aroma, but also has a mild touch of bananas and some citrus.

330ml bottle. Milky, yellow-ish golden colour with average to huge, foamy, mostly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Sweet-ish, yeasty estery fruity and oaty, Müsli aroma, hints of oat flakes, dried banana, dried apple, dried apricot, some yeast dough, waxy hoppy overtones. Taste is dry hoppy and minimally sweet, estery fruity, hints of apricot, dried apricot, yeast dough, residual malty sweetness, minimally soapy and waxy, hoppy overtones. The idea (hoppy, US-influenced, PoMo Belgian Ale) is obvious - the implementation yet somewhat defective.

Huge bubbly white head stayed on a hazy, dark lemon coloured, highly carbonated body. Yeast, spice & citrus aroma - Smells authentic! Medium bodied. Finely effervescent on the palate. Dry. Yeasty tastes of spice, bitter citrus, floral & a peppery finish.
