Looks good - a hazy straw colour with a big fluffy head, which quickly sinks. Good lacing. No carbonation evidentOn the nose, the sweet yeasty bread is at the forefront. There is also a hint of pepper, cloves, banana and other spices.
Wow - this is a nice beer. Very sweet cookie-dough malt at the front, moves into a spicy, solvent, fruity flavour (apple, faint banana, cloves and white pepper) and finishes with a bitter, sour taste of lemon and a sweet yeast linger; slightly floral. The alcohol is present throughout, but is sufficiently masked
This is very sweet, but the strong hop presence cuts in to counter-act and provide a good balance.
On the tongue, the carbonation is a tad heavy, but this is a smooth, medium/full bodied brew with a good linger. Pleasant, dry finish and well balanced
This is a great Belgium IPA!
85% - Good
