Sampled from the tap at the Mundelin beer fest. Pours a milky pale gold with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has a nice banana note with a hint of clove and light grain backing. Flavor is much more earthy with wheat and banana with a hint of clove underlying.

Draft in Solemn Oath tulip at Standard Market, just $4. Cloudy yellow color with a thin ring of Belgian foam. Smell has a little of that umami I finally figured was the main component of Matilda, plus a bit of hops. First taste was a little sweet with a note of tartness. Some lemon and lemongrass, and a bit of dry wheat spice. I had bought a small chunk of cheese to munch with this beer, and the server took it, sliced it up and served it to me on a plate with savory toast points! Nice way to feel all continental with a continental beer!
