◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent ripe banana and bubblegum notes characteristic of Belgian yeast esters, layered with warming clove and subtle spice from the strain's phenolic profile. Egyptian coriander adds a bright citrus and herbal dimension, while a clean, grainy Malz foundation supports the aromatic composition without any harsh or solvent-like qualities.

◐ Taste

The palate is full-bodied and clean, with the Belgian yeast character delivering waves of banana and bubblegum sweetness balanced by peppery clove and a gentle citrus edge from the coriander addition. At 32 IBU, the bitterness remains restrained and refined, never aggressive, allowing the fruity esters and spicy phenolics to lead the mid-palate development.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and elegant with lingering clove and a subtle peppery warmth that fades gracefully. The 9% ABV remains well-masked by the clean fermentation profile, leaving a refreshing and inviting aftertaste.

Serve at 9–12°C

Serve at 10–13°C in a goblet. The yeast character and carbonation are the stars — cold would suppress both.

Goblet

The wide mouth and heavy base promote head formation and channel rich aromatics toward the nose. Traditional for Belgian strong ales.

Drink within 2 years. Some complexity develops with age but the yeast character is best relatively fresh.
