Sep 1, 2009 Bottle: Nice cloudy deep golden pour with a dense thick white head that retains well. Yeasty herbal aroma- lots of phenols. Has a Belgian biscuit/honey malt character, freshly baking bread, peppery herbal noble hop notes and a cookie dough subtlety. Creamy frothy feel. Nice Belgian malt character. Has a biscuity and honeyish base. The yeast offers a fruity character & dry phenolics. Some very pale dates (not sweet) with dusty phenolics and later spicy/peppery quite bitter and long noble hops. A nice hoppy yet balanced Belgian ale.

Aug 19, 2009 Tap at Toronado in SF. Heard this beer described as a "hoppy Orval," and that’s a pretty good description. Cloudy golden color with a fairly large white head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, hops, apple, and funk. Flavor pale malt, bretty funk, apple, citrus hops, earth, and yeast. Medium-bodied with soft carbonation. Pretty damn good beer.

Aug 18, 2009 750 ml Bottle purchased in Santa Barbara.
Stunningly good, extremely dry Belgian beer. Why can’t US brewers do a Belgian IPA like this? This one has a saison dusty dryness instead of that bubblegum belgian yeast that you get from American takes on this nascent style. Indeed, this was simply exceptional. Not many beers I’m willing to pay $15/750 ml for anymore, but this one joins the short list. Wow.

Aug 16, 2009 Bottled 33cl. It pours an extremely murky golden beer with a huge mountainous white head which leaves a beautiful lacework. The aroma is of yeast, melon, coriander and hops. Good bitternss in the taste. Yeasty, bready, hoppy, peppery with hints of melon. Long dry finish. It tastes like a light hoppy version of a Tripel in my opinion. Very good!
