Mar 10, 2009 Hazy summer sunrise topped with a frothy, fluffy, hop-pocked head. Nose immediately filled with floral hops with piquant spices titillating the furtherst olfactory reaches. Perhaps nutmeg/allspice, which lends a prick of chai. Dusted malt hits a back note. Deliciously mysterious. The first flavorful impressions consist of tangerine hop and tea leaf with a minty and citrus finish. Melanoidin, dusted malt ball on the follow through pitch. A minty finish leaves the palate clean and refreshed. A fascinating medley of deep malt, fruity and floral hops, and piquant spices make this a truly World Class saison. You will continue to uncover new nuances and depth of characeterstics throughout the entire 750 ml experience. In fact, I would describe this as, like a truly authentic saison, this is not just a beer, but an experience.

Feb 24, 2009 pours with an orange-gold body topped by a medium thick head with a good amount of lacing. It’s slightly sweet and floral with light grassy hop notes. Light to medium bodied and smooth.

Oct 26, 2008 Bottiglia da 75cl prima da Pietrino, poi a casa da me; entrambe condivise con due amici birrai. Una grande complessità e una splendida leggerezza ne fanno una bevanda di grande classe da potersi concedere in ogni momento e che piace a grandi e piccini. E al Cavalier Piccinini (il nuovo Beatle).

Aug 30, 2008 Big ol’ bouteille. Furit citrus yeast with large head that diminishes as the bottle sits there. Light, fruity, spicy and delicious.

Aug 6, 2008 [1384-20080524] 1pt9.4floz bottle. Initially a nice light fruity citrus yeast aroma, after swirling produces some notes of oil paints. Lightly hazy, yellow brown body with a medium-lasting creamy white head and lots of big floaties. Fruity yeast flavour has a bit of light Belgian yeast and citrus malt. Medium body has a nice sour tang. Refreshing, could be better carbonated.

Jul 14, 2008 Hazy golden color with a thin white head. Aroma is perfumed fruit, floral, light sweetness. Flavor is also lightly fruity, almost a touch of strawberries or raspberries, hints of honey, possibly some coriander, but very very little. An extremely well made and well balanced saison. Reminds me of fields of hay in the summer.
