◌ Aroma

The nose leads with distinct clove and black pepper spice, followed by bright banana and yeast-derived esters typical of Belgian ale fermentation. Soft floral notes emerge behind the spice, with a light citrus undertone that adds freshness without harsh hop character.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and clean, with the spiced banana character from the nose flowing directly to the palate. Mid-palate develops a soft yeasty sweetness balanced by minimal bitterness; the 12 IBU provides restraint rather than aggression. Finish remains light and refreshing, with no alcohol warmth or sharp edges.
