A golden beer, a head is medium and blond. Aroma has generic europian fruitness, spicyness, some perries and coriander, balanced. Taste has fruitness, spicyness of light peppers, hint of banana. Medium bodied, high carbonation. Great balance which is the best part of this beer. Greatness of Chouffe’s yeast can be noticed.

Hazy golden coloured body with a large, four centimetre tall off-white head that leaves a decent lace on the glass. Aroma of honey, bread, yeast, alcohol, coriander seed, curacao, hay and some grass - nice and pungent. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong hay and grass flavours at first with a lot of yeast and wheat noticeable and a good sweetness from honey and bananas as well along with a dry herbal finish that shows similar to a saison. Aftertaste shows a light sweetness, but this is all about the dry quality and yeast complexities of the finish. Overall, a nice and robust beer that shows more of a belgian than of an American, and that is a good thing, given the complexities and the ’old world’ quality of the beer. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 12-July-2015 for US$2,59 sampled at home in Washington on 17-January-2016.

Bottle. Golden amber with a large, almost white head that lasts quite well. Aroma of ornages, dough, some banana, clove, pepper. Medium bodied, moderate to high carbonation. Sweet oranges, nectarines, what might kindly be called sugary dough, far too much clove, some pepper at the bitter and somewhat hot finish. I suppose it’s not _that_ boozy - I still wouldn’t have guessed as high as 9.5%. And La Chouffe and their "IPA Tripel" are both quite boozy. I dunno why they get away with it and this doesn’t quite - softness of mouthfeel? Better pale malt? More fruit?
