Appearance: Pours a hazy, light gold with a hint of orange. A pillowy, eggshell head. Great retention and really nice lacing.
Aromas: I get banana nut muffin, with the yeastiness, the breadiness, the banana, and a hint of sweetness.
Mouthfeel: Medium to full body, but with a nice effervescence and foaminess that lightens it up on the palate.
Flavors: I get a little bit of a fresh yeast flavor, along with a hint of banana, although not as much as I got on the nose. Also a bit of apricot. Definitely a bit of sweetness, but finishes dry. A bit of coriander and baking spice as well.
Overall: Definitely a great beer. Its 8% alcohol is masked nicely by a variety of yeast-driven flavors, from a fruitiness to a breadiness and finishing with a refreshingly dry bit of spice. No one element overpowers the other. Very balanced, with everything Belgian styles have to offer, without anything becoming too much.
