Bottle from a gift box - many thanks to mom & dad for bringing it & to the brewer for gifting it! Pours hazy golden-orange with a small, slowly thinning, frothy, white head. Aroma of banana peel, apricot, white bread, honey, pepper, wheat, lemon, slight coriander. Taste is medium fruity sweet, notes of yellow apple, banana & apricot, supported by a soft bready & honey-like malty base, yeasty, bitter spicy & sourish lemony touch. Dryish, grassy hoppy finish, a bit more spicy & bitter even, lingering yellow fruit & retronasal whiff of bread. Medium body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. Inoffensive 'Golden Ale', feels quite Belgian indeed, although slightly more bitter in the end than expected.

Bottle from a gift box - many thanks to mom & dad for bringing it & to the brewer for gifting it! Pours hazy yellow with a lasting, small, foamy, white head. Aroma of banana, ripe yellow apple, freshly baked bread, wheat, yeast, curaçao, clove, faint butter. Taste is light to medium fruity sweet, ripe apple & 'estery' banana resting on thick bready maltiness; the undertone has spicy clove & pepper as well as sourish wheat & lemon, all the while quite yeasty. Dryish, grassy hoppy finish, lingering spices, wheat & bread, some banana too. Medium body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. All in all edging slightly towards a German-like Hefeweizen; but still more of a Witbier than, say, a modern Wheat Ale, for which it is too estery. Plain good.
