Jul 18, 2009 12oz bottle...pours a cloudy, opaque golden yellow color with a thick white foamy head. Leaves nice lacing on the glass. Head is quite large then receeds to about a finger. nose is lovely, sweet but somewhat floral notes, a light ricey kind of graininess in the nose as well. Palate is full and thick with a very nice velvet/fluffyness about it, but not airy. fairly flat for the amount of bubbles that race through the beer. Flavor is grainy with some light sweetness but it really is quite dry. Some spiciness as well.

Jul 14, 2009 Pours hazy dark amber with a large off-white head. The aroma has mildly toasted malt, estery, some spice and earthy yeast - also quite dry for the style. Medium smooth body with a bit of graininess and some sharp carbonation. The flavor starts off quite spicy with black pepper, some malt, Belgian yeast and continues with the dryness aspect. The finish has lots of phenolic spice coming into the mix. Enjoyable beer.

Jul 14, 2009 Bouteille: Poivre, citron, levure, pêches, houblon, mangue, tangerine; caractère rustique de la ferme et de la saison des foins; meringue; robe jaune orangée opaque; une bière extraordinaire!
En fût: Une bière extraordinaire encore une fois mais qui, à mon avis, perd un peu de sa splendide (et néanmoins accessible) sauvagerie... ?

Jul 9, 2009 Bottle. Pours golden, white head. Mild hop aroma, light notes of honey, orange. Flavor is simple and good. Very mild, delicate pale malt sweetness, followed by citrus hop flavors that build into an intense finish. Hopiness lingers. Balanced with some nuance. The more I drink, the more I absolutely love. Excellent.
