Nov 15, 2007 750ml bottle, poured a murky straw color with a decent white head. The nose is that of fresh cut grass, citrus tones, yeast and a hint of hops. The flavor has more bite than the nose suggests, earthy with light citrus tones, yeast is present, as is slight alcohol warming. Great winter seasonal.

Nov 7, 2007 2004 750ml shared by jeffin7. Murky. Soft fruity, estery and fluffy delicate nose. Flavor is moderately sharp and lightly acidic, with frothy hay and mild alcohol noticed. Festive, full, yeast and tripel-like at times, but certainly funky and well-aged. Great stuff.

Oct 31, 2007 2006 bottle at Kulminator. Very bright pale golden appearance. Aroma is quite herbal and grassy with a soft earthiness and a bit of hop character. Very aromatic. Fresh wheay spiciness up front. In many ways it reminds me of Moneuse, but the herbal character doesn’t dominate here, as it does there. Well-balanced and quite tasty.

hazy rich yellow, thin to no head. light sweet malt and spicy aroma. quite lively in the mouth. a good sweet malty body, but a wickedly peppery hoppiness quickly comes over. A tad alcoholic.

Oct 9, 2007 Pours a cloudy orangey straw color with a large white head, but not as much foam as Vieille Provision. Aroma of honey, grass, flour, sweetened bread, oak, white wine, and light alcohol warming. Similar taste with stronger honey notes, some grass, pepper, and bread/grain. Finishes lightly bitter and quite spicy, earthy and a little buttery. Medium bodied but heavier than other saisons and substantially less carbonated (but still well carbonated). This was like a funky pungent tripel, and/or a more warming saison. Very nice stuff.

Oct 9, 2007 Hazy orange with tiny head. Aroma is sweet, malty and has some yeast. Sweet malty and fruity flavor and a very dominat alcohol. Could be better.

Pours a clouded gold with a white head. Nose is thick with mild yeasts and a slightly sweet tone. Flavor is hearty with an earthen tone that is very present. Overall a very robust and heavy flavor ride. Feel is good. A nice level of bubble and smooth on the tongue. Overall very drinkable. I might have drunk this one a bit too young, though. I’d be interested to see what some age would do to it. If I wasn’t moving in 2.5 weeks, I would have let this one sit for a while.
