Can from Asda, High Wycombe. Pale gold with a middling fizz and a large white head. Odd hint of sourness up front, which I didn't like. A decent floral hit, then there's some classic Belgian ale flavours - coriander seed, white pepper, and a touch of foam banana sweets. It's a little too dry and the hint of sourness just feels like a brewing flaw. No, this didn't do it for me.

440ml can from Asda Dyce. It pours lightly hazy lemon yellow with a thick, bubbly - frothy white head. The aroma is sweet, yet spicy, foamy banana candy, banana split, clove, minty character, crackery mint and doughy white bread. The taste is crisp, dry, firm, bitter - sweet, doughy white bread, sponge cake, custard creams, grassy, herbal, prickly spice, floral, chalky green banana and fragrant vibes with a drying, slightly soapy finish. Average body and fine, prickly carbonation. A bit of a disconnect between the sweet banana aroma and fine more floral and dryer taste. Not and overall.

Can from ASDA Supermarket, Manchester. Paler glowing golden with a head. Hopped with a Belgian styled bubble gum sweetness providing a density to an already strongish tasting brew.

Can from ASDA. Nose is straw, spicy, floral, light summer fruits. Taste is bubblegum, hints of banana and cloves, fruity, Belgian yeast, herbal leafy finish with plenty of spice. It's quite thin, but very drinkable.

440ml can from Asda. Golden in colour, with a slight, white, head and the merest hint of a haze. Aroma of Belgian yeasts, stone fruits and floral hops, with a slightly honeyed edge. Flavour was slightly sweet, with a hint of spice, more fruit, light maltiness and a dryish finish. Enjoyable.
