◐ Taste

The palate opens with pleasant sweetness balanced by the crisp, drying character of noble hops. Banana and yeast-derived fruit continue through the mid-palate, with clove spice providing structure and complexity. The 30 IBU bitterness remains restrained, allowing the fruity and sweet notes to dominate without creating harshness or excessive dryness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and relatively dry, with lingering fruit esters and a whisper of clove spice. Despite the 9% ABV, no warming or alcohol burn emerges, reinforcing the deceptive drinkability.

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.
