4.13/5  rDev +2.7%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

12 oz stubby
A) Pours with a two finger thick head. Mostly clear golden body with active carbonation. Semi-sticky lacing on the drink down.
S) Yeasty. Banana. Hints of clove.
T) Clove. Wheaty. Banana. Subtle alcohol in the finish with a lingering warmth.
M) Fairly smooth. Thick and chewy for being a light colored brew. Medium light body. Dry in the finish.
O) A well crafted Belgian ale. Very drinkable.

Pours nicely. Not to be too scientific but it's aq.

Smells fruity and delicious.

Sweet and bitter balanced taste.

Thin but consistent carbonation/ bubbles, not to heavy. Slightly high taste of alcohol that's why it didn't get a 5.

Overall one of my favorite beers of all time!

It's been a couple a days...
Mom's having minor heart failure, Dad & I driving to see her every day.
I walked in and told Mike @MAXBURGER to just 'bring it'.
This is what he brung.

A big cloud of Lacey foam on top.
So Orange it could be a Shocktop, but, that could be the lighting in here...designed to make me look palatable to some Cougar, I guess.
Super good taste right off the bat, and a slightly watery mouthfeel, which, for my first of the day, is great.
After the first half pint, I searched BA, found out the particulars.
Nice!
Mike knows I'm a Belgian lover!
If mike had tits, I would surely pursue his nakedity.
Thanks Mike.
And, thank you beer gods.
Mom's doing well.
