12 floz bottle into la fin tulip. bottled on date of aug 06 2009.
big white head, and a slightly golden yellow body. head retains quite well and laces all over the glass. the body is lightly turbid. the nose is quite bold, offering up a large grainy presence and a slight sour apple flavour; there is minimal to no yeast, spice, or alcohol. the taste is quite sweet, much like the la chouffe bspa. there is a huge artificial banana flavour that dominates. the hops fall quite short in restraining the sweetness, though there is a definite bitter aspect to the beer, it is hardly noticeable to any great extent. the feel is medium with abundant carbonation, which could be crisper.

Extremely see-through bright yellow.
Bright white head which dissipates but does not disappear.
Strong lacing.
Banana nose; slight cloves. Definitely Belgian yeast, here.
Thin mouthfeel, almost watery; hops smack this lips.
Apple, banana & cinnamon bread; easily quaffable, with a champagne finish. A worthy beer.

From notes 1/4/12: Pours clear straw yellow with half a finger of white, very short-lived head that leaves very little surface cap and no lace. Aroma is Belgian yeast fruity esters especially bananas, cloves, a little stone fruit, bread and spices. Taste is similar with the addition of coriander and phenols. There is a noticeable hop character and more bitterness than anticipated from the style. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with low-moderate carbonation.

Pours crystal clear straw colored under a sudsy white foam cap. Bread and yeast on the nose and palate with light fruit. A very creamy rich texture with a medium light body and above average carbonation.
