500ml bottle from KWM Wines. Pours hazy gold with a medium-sized white head. Aroma is bananas, Belgian yeast, spice. Taste is light to medium sweet, bananas, yeast, spice, malt. Light bitter finish. More like a Hefeweizen, but decent anyway.

Hazy pale blond colour with lasting head. Aroma of overripe banana and Belgian yeast. Sweet taste but the slightly spicy elements from the yeast add welcome complexity. This can stand up to many of the better Blond Ales from Belgium.

500ml bottle (5.5% ABV) from KWM Wines: BB 31st December 2022. Drank at home on 9th April 2022. Mini haze to the blonde body, thin white head. Mild yeasty front with that Belgian feel, some spice like action too. My first beer from County Fermanagh.

500ml bottle bought from KWM Wines and drunk at home. Golden blonde and slightly hazy with a small ring of white head. Yeasty aroma with notes of grass and boiled sweet. Tastes sweet but a bit messy with a bitter/sour and almost matillic finish and aftertaste. An odd beer but drinkable enough.

Bottle shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours lightly hazy yellow gold with a thin white head. Aromas of spicy yeast, banana and pineapple. Faint dough. Taste is banana, tangy, spicy. All about the Belgian yeast. Fruity, if sticky, finish. Carbonation appropriate for the style lifts it though.

Bottle shared by Beersiveknown @ tasting at his place. Huge thanks Steve! Hazy yellow color, average sized white to off-white head that lasts for a short while. Aroma is malts, lightly yeasty and slightly sweet banana-ish. The flavor has the banana and yeastyness too, it’s almost a mix of a Belgian ale and a German Hefe Weizen. A nice surprise, though I dislike the sweetish banana-ish part but it could work out if that sweetness subsides a little.
