Pour was orange straw with nice head and lacing. The aroma was weak funk. Man, this is one rich and creamy beer…excellent mouthfeel. The flavor was tart fruit, a very mild level of spice and a mild barnyard funk. This is a different kind of saison, but I really enjoyed it!

Pours hazy straw color with big white head. Nice sweet bready aroma. Earthy, musty flavor that is slightly sour. Medium body with average carbonation and a smooth, velvety mouthfeel that finishes dry. Excellent saison.

Nice orange golden colour with a perfect white foamy head. Funky, yeasty, fruity (tropical & citrusy), a bit ethilic, peppery & spicy. Some cellar notes. A bit harsh MF, alcoholic but developing in a strong saison character.

A very smooth Saison! The least bitter I have had; almost as smooth as a trippel! On tap at Publick House in Brookline, Mass. I find this style most complex and this didn’t diappoint: nice lemongrass, hay, and light leather, if there is such a thing.

750 ml bottle. Somewhat milky golden color, expansive white head. Aroma of sweet malts and citrus. Taste is similar to their basic saison, with bright fruity notes, earthy tones, yeast, malts and a good hop balance, but with some alcohol and maybe a slightly fuller body. Very nice, but I still prefer the basic saison by a nose. I’d definitely like to see how this handles some aging, though.

Draught at Kulminator. Hazy, golden with a white head, fine lacings. Aroma moderate malty (caramel) and hoppy (lemon). Flavor moderate sweet, heavy hoppy. Medium body.

Pours straw yellow with a good sized head. Aroma is fruity with hints of lemon, yeast and alcohol. Mouthfeel is thin, but lively with lots of carbonation. Falvor is surprisingly dry with more lemon, bread and yest flavors. A slight bit of funk rounds out this ale. Very nice/

Het bier dat door de brouwer zelf gekozen is als nieuwjaarsgeschenk voor zijn gasten. Het blond koperen aroma heeft een bittere, fruitige maar ook fijne hopsmaak die een lange rijpheid kenmerkt
