Tenderly pumpkin-spiced clove-hopped wheat beer is merely moderate Belgian knockoff. Needs more apropos banana hint. Brewery closed due to fire 2004.

(DU BOCQ) BLANCHE DE NAMUR
Sullen light-bodied yellow-hazed white ale (with cloudy suspended yeast particles and flatulent carbonation) retains peppery-hopped lemon-soured zip over coriander-spiced banana cream pie blip and shrewd ginger-eucalyptus-chamomile snip. Lime-dried orange-skin tartness actuates tertiary floral perfumed nuances, understated licorice sweetness, teensy mandarin orange zest, and latent green apple slither vying for attention beyond scurried lemondrop promenade.
(HUYGHE) FRUBEE BANANA WITBIER
Saccharine tropical-fruited white beer offers sweetest banana-chipped banana taffy resilience overriding faintest orange-grapefruit souring and lapsing butterscotch dalliance. Sugar-candied lemon drop tang reinforces overripe banana buoyancy and meager coriander spicing, ultimately leaving throat dry. Cloy aritificial sweetness ultimately ruins hazy golden wit.
(UNIBROUE) BLANCHE DE CHAMBLY WITBIER
Made from a Middle Ages White Beer recipe, Blanche has great character; resembling a Bavarian wheat with its tart lemony banana-orange essence, bubbly champagne flow, coriander-clove-ginger dollop, and re-fermented albino yeast base. Arguably tastier, and certainly easier to consume, than fine German weissbier, yet not as effervescent.

JOPEN ADRIAAN GRUIT WITBIER
Likable bottle-conditioned herb-spiced clear-hazed wheat beer with mild viscosity renders honeyed butterscotch regalia to dry coriander finish, picking up tobacco, tea, and lavender illusions. Beneath banana-breaded cracked wheat stipend lies lemony orange, peach, and grape tartness pleating sharp cider briskness.
