Used it twice so far. First time was in a Belgian dark strong, got some banana notes that I thought were from fermenting warm but now I think was the hops. Just used it in a Belgian IPA and really like the tropical notes it added to the beer. It goes well with the fruitiness the Belgian yeasts give off. I think my next brew will be a nice low alcohol Belgian pale with some of these. The description is pretty dead on as far as flavors you will get out of these.

Tasted everything listed, wished it was in leaf so I could play with it more.
