355ml bottle. Minimally cloudy, yellow-golden colour with small to average, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Fruity aroma has notes of peach, mirabelle, apricot, a sweet-ish sugar powder touch. Taste is initially slightly sweet fruity with reiteration of flavours, later minimally tart, minimally yeasty spicy with a floral touch. Nice, refreshing, easy drinkable, flattering.

Bottle. Cloudy golden beer with a reasonable head. The aroma is citric and yeasty, and the flavour is bitter with lemony citrus and a thick yeasty finish. Overall a reasonable but basic beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

355ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours clear golden orange, small white head. Aromas of light spice, dried fruit, citrus. Not getting much Belgian-ness. Taste is sweet, light spice. Light body, bit thin. Sweet finish. Ok.

12 oz bottle. Pours a yellow/amber with light head. Light yeasty aroma with notes of bananas, resin, and spice. Flavors are similar with a additional stoned fruit and malty notes. Nice Belgian yeastiness but not overly so. A sessionable Belgian.

The appearance has a hazy orange slightly golden looking colored body with less than a half fingered white foamy head that quickly dies within a half a minute.
The smell has Belgian yeastiness up front with a nice allocation of spices to compliment the aroma.
The taste is spicy yet somewhat sweet and a nice complimentary sort of under-shadowed sort of \"sweet\" tones to give a very nice sort of spicy/sweet/dry aftertaste with a quick dry finish.
The palate has a light to medium body and provides a decent sessionability that could definitely go with its respected food. Carbonation is good for a Belgian Strong Ale.
Overall, I’d have this one again and would absolutely love to put this up with its respected food.
