Oct 30, 2009 Corked and wired 750ml bottle. Pours hazy pale orange with a huge dense rocky and lasting white head that provides excellent lacing. Nose is bready malts, light lemony citrus, subtle honey and earthy spicy hops. The taste is very restrained sweet grainy malts with a wonderful peppery spicy dry hop finish. Faint vanilla in there as well. It has a thick chewy mouthfeel with the ABV only apparent at the very end. Excellent, complex, classy and refreshing. Right up there with the very best.

Oct 28, 2009 Bottled 75cl. Beautiful appearance: Rich head, good lacework, great color. Complex aroma of yeast, clove, white bread, melon, coriander, apricot, peach and a huge amount of pear. Spicy yeasty taste. Practically no acidity. Some alcohol showing up on the swallow. Sweetish. A lot of cloves apparent. Reminiscence of cloves and pear in the finish. A very good beer.

Oct 25, 2009 75 cl bottle.
Cloudy golden color with an amber tint. Nose: fruit and herbs. Citrus is big. Pears. Very dry. Big carbonation, with big, biscuity pilsner malt, flavors of yeast, a bit of alcohol, citrus peel, apple, pear and maybe plum. Thin body and extremely dry. Very impressive and original but not as likeable as their Moinette or Saison. Good understated hops. Great and technically perfect, but too dry and lacks the kindness of their other beers.

Oct 15, 2009 750ml bottle. Pours an opaque hay colored body with a massive white head. Solid retention and beautiful sheet lacing. Aroma is initially a bit earthy, grassy, some barnyard funk, as well as a zesty fruit character. Tastes of sweet yeasty malt up front with hints of lemon, vanilla, and wet hay. Good carbonation and nice refreshing bite.
