A- light yellow with green tint. A 1 and half finger frothy head that leaves a nice splotchy nice lacing on the pint.
S- banana and clove with hints of coriander. a yeasty ending as well.
F- sour lemon and banana with hints of clove. Quite yeasty and that tends to over dominate.
M- yeasty and light bodied. quite malty as well.
O- the yeasty parts tend to take away from the banana and coriander. the clove comes through more as you drink it.

12oz can unmarked from AC. Light gold color and a slightly yeasty nose. Flavors are definitely banana with some lemon and coriander with a touch of honey. Slightly bitter on the finish. Easy drinking but not something we will revisit.

Poured from a bottle into a tulip glass. Cloudy yellow with a nice white head and good lacing. Earthy, maybe slightly skunky, smell. Herbal taste with a bit of lemon and pepper. A little like a saison. A good beer.

Hazy yellow color. Decent starting head, but dissipates completely, leaving no lace.
Sweet berry aroma initially. Very light Belgian yeast smell. Basic notes.
The flavor is harsher than the smell indicates--far less sweetness. The yeast is also more pronounced. The carbonation is very spritzy. The body is low, enhancing the effect. The swallow is Belgian, leaving a moderate biting aftertaste. No notable hop.

Enjoyed from the Belgian Progression 4 pack in a snifter. This solid single
pours a nice lightly cloudy straw tinged golden color with a fantastic head of
dissipating white foam that subsides to a thick ring, thin swirling layer, and showcases
some excellent lacing. Nose of heavy banana, subtle coriander, light clove, and sweet
pale malts. Flavors hit the right notes for the style but are more towards a triple in taste---
as in Sprechers Tripel which is a good thing in my book, Sweet pale malts and honey notes
top light banana and coriander hints with subtle clove and a light herbal hop flavor that is
nice with a touch of acidity from a subtle orange zest note. Excellent mouth feel; medium light
body, medium carbonation, and a sweet subtly dry finish with a touch of yeast tossed in for good
measure.
overall, a nice brew that is like a lower ABV of their tripel which is FAR from a bad thing.
Cheers
