Cloudy orange beer with an off-white -- Oops! it’s gone. The aroma was sweet malt, fruit, some hops. Watery texture. The flavor was sweet with some spice notes. Drinkable but this red sky at night was not a drinkers delight.

it has a definitive style of Saison flavor, tropical like fruits with rich malty textures. IT give off a great presence, Well done

Bought a sixer of this about 6 weeks ago, and it’s already started to go downhill. Cloudy golden brew with a medium body, the yeast and funk and moderate spice come across initially but there’s not enough depth to this. A bit of candy, some mild fruits and grassy goodness, but it’s ephemeral and gets lost somewhat quickly. Enjoyable but middling.

Pours pale with a small, white head that fades very quickly. The aroma is Dupont yeast all the way, pepper, lemon, peach, banana, cloves and some alcohol. The flavor is moderately sweet, pepper, pears, apple, lemon and clove, becoming slightly tart at the end. Medium body, moderate carbonation. Tasty, but in need of a higher level of attenuation to be special.

Bottle from SpringsLicker. Pours a lightly opaque light amber color with a very dense white head that rises about 1.5 inches above the liquid level upon pouring. Foamy lacing left behind. Aroma is funky, like ketchup/katsup.. Light bodied, full of bubbly carbonation. Very delicate flavors, light in mouthfeel. Enough alcohol and residual sugar to believe that Candi sugar was used. No alcohol harshness. Full of carbonation, light, bubbly and fairly spicey. Pretty well done, a bit above ABV if you think the workers are going to get back to the fields any time soon. Enjoyable, if not exactly to style.

Light cloudy yellow, thin head. Funky, grassy aroma. Light bitter taste, sweet finish. Some bubblegum in there as well.

The Dan Journal #10. 12oz bottle. Hazy golden hue. Slight orange amber hint. White head. Grassy, grainy, slight barnyard nose. Rounded and sweet. Grainy fruity and zesty. Lively. Banana and citrus notes. Slight grapefruit. Finish is tingling and yeasty. Good hop presence.

I had this way back in the day but somehow must have forgotten to rate it. Kind of an average belgian brew. reminds me alot of some bew belgium stuff. Some spices over a basic belgian body.
