Has anyone tried cloning this excellent French beer?

I would describe it as Belgian yeast-tasting, with banana flavours and herbal notes, plus a distinct hit of the zesty American hops. A little like Leffe Royale Cascade IPA but better.
As for the recipe, I'd be wary of using a Belgian ale yeast as it's quite overpowering. Is there a more lite version? I know that they brew with rye and buckwheat in the region (Brittany) but I don't think the malt, apart from being pale, is going to be a big component in the recipe. I'd guess the hops might be Magnum for bittering then something fresh like Cascade and Mosaic. The style has been described as imperial, double and blonde, and comes in at 7.5%.
So has anyone any tips?
