Notes / Commercial Description:
The dream begins with open top fermentation. At high krausen a foamy, rocky yeast head crests the sides of the fermenter releasing notes of black pepper and spicy clove. Unfiltered and cloudy with yeast, it's slightly tart & downright refreshing.

Like many have said already, banana and pepper come across with decent carbonation. Poured with a nice dense head with great lacing. Not sure why so many poured clear, mine poured very hazy after a small swish of the last bit of beer before pouring the rest into a glass.

Sweet aroma with wheat, banana and light spicing.
The flavor largely follows. Good complexity and balance for style.
Overall: a true Belgian style wheat beer.

Cloudy orange gold color,decent amount of carbonation which was very noticable. Aroma was yeast,wheat,and spice. Taste was the same but some pepper and a dry finish. I agree that this came off a bit like a watered down tripel but it was light and refreshing and just not as dense or heavy as most tripels. Perfect summer beer or with a light lunch which is how I enjoyed it
