Bottle, bought @ Vinspecialisten, Haderslev.
Pours a great, clear, shining golden with a fine, medium, creamy, white head. Very nice looks. Aroma is quite Saison-like, good crispy, biscuity malts, some vanilla, pear, oranges and a slight oaky note. High carbonation, nice mouthfeel. Flavour is a bit more subdued than the aroma, some good maltiness, lightly acidic and a fair amount of pleasant, dry hoppiness. Nice surprise.

Bottled, 330ml at Kafee du Hopduvel, Ghent. Clouded orange with white head, hard carbonation. Quite strong pear drop aromas which lead to a sharp, acidic and drying beer. Nasal alcohol and reasonable hops, pretty reasonable.

Golden with a huge, creamy head. The aroma has sweetness, notes of malt and light citrus and apple. The flavour has sweetness, a light citrussy bitterness, notes of malt, alcohol (quite a bit) and light hints of coriander and yeast. IMO the alcohol should be more subdued, and that makes the overall impression somewhat unbalanced.

ZBF2008: From tap. Pours hazy orange with a dense and white head. Light spiced and caramel malt aroma. Flavour is mildly sweetend and with a mellow yeast note mixed with a light spice note. Quite well balanced and smooth. Ends with a lingering smooth mix of the flavours.

2008 Zythos Bier Festival, Belgium. Spicy, grassy aroma. Great balanced taste that is fresh and flavoursome with just a hint of sweetness coming through at the end.
