Commercial Description:
Lush and fruity, this "super saison" has been totally overhauled from the last two years. Previously, this beer has been lighter in color and ABV, but an increase in buckwheat honey has pushed the color into the dark amber range, providing a rich, layered complexity. The first sip leaves your mouth with a kiss of sweetness in an otherwise dry strong ale. 2006 version was Belgian Strong Ale and at 9%+ abv.

2008 version back to 7% abv, more in the traditional saison style - hazy golden in color.

750ml bottle thanks to vwcraig. Nice cloudy orange color. It smells of honey and it tastes quite interesting. I couldn’t quite put my finger on what I was tasting but there was definitely a honey aspect and a slight bit of brett. Honestly it tasted like a saison with honey. This beer was well done but I’m afraid it is not worth $16 by any stretch of the imagination. I would love to drink this in mass quantities but its just too expensive and hard to get.

Bottle… Pre-C&P’sLYFO Throwdown… Murky straw-colored ale with a mid-sized, creamy, white head. Great retention. The aroma is yeasty and fruity, offering notes of warm bread and spiced pear. Medium-bodied with lively carbonation. Sweet, fruity and tangy. Crisp, mildly tart finish. Kudos to Beerlando for sharing this bottle of brew!

Bottle from the Otown throwdown. beerlando is the man! This was a fun beer to smell and drink. Aroma of honey comes out as well as some tart and funky aromas...I get some vegetal notes along with a hit of green peppercorns. Flavor is smooth with some funky sweetness and a good dose of fruits. It finishes dry and is damn good.

750ml Bottle (2008 Version at 7.5%ABV): Aroma of Brett, yeast, honey, grains, white pepper, light spices, slight herbs, and a hint of citrus. Poured golden/amber/orange/flaxen in color with a medium-sized, rocky, dense, off-white head that lasted throughout. Cloudy. Very sparkling. Good lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet. Tastes of yeast, bubblegum, slight honey, slight pepper, slight citrus, slight fruit, and slight dish soap. Medium body. Fizzy, dry texture. Lively carbonation. Pepper, yeast, and bubblegum finish is dry.

Had it on tap at the brewpub. Wild nose, sweet, floral, and pleasant. Pretty herbal flavor, slightly bitter, floral and yeasty. Very balanced and enjoyable. There’s the typical peppery, grassy element in there, with a touch of honey and light citrus fruits.
