Nov 26, 2009 bomber poured an orange brown in color with a thin layer of white head. aroma has caramel sweetness, wet flowers, yeast, and some spice. mouth feel is light and the carbonation on the lower side. flavor has an interesting bitter flower thing, light sourness, mild spices, and some funk. an interesting beer in that it is a little farmhouse like but has a definite acidic sourness. thanks to knightly for hooking me up with this one.

Nov 18, 2009 I love the story behind the Pissenlit first and foremost. Anyways, 750 from Grapes of Mirth, poured into tumbler. Really beautiful clear, bright amber pour, towards the end poured more like a nice cloudy cider with plenty of sediment. Taste is also bright, a bit tart and a a little funky with the yeast. A nice little saison.

Nov 16, 2009 Hazy orange with a medium-sized off-white head. Some lacings.
The aroma is really strange and hard to pinpoint. Malts reminiscent of wheat crackers, a lot of odd spices, some herbal notes. Notes of lemon and yeast.
The taste is better than the smell, but still very strange. Somewhat sweet and mildly tart flavors. Notes of malts, odd spices, fresh herbal notes, grass and earthy yeast. Perhaps something in the line of dandelions, but I might be reading to much into this. The finish is mildly bitter and somewhat spicy with notes of malts. Thankfully this one developed nicely in the glass. At first, it was quite bad, but it got better and after a while I actually enjoyed it quite a bit.
Medium body with somewhat lively carbonation.
A strange beer. Decent at best. Very interesting, but flavor-wise it’s not very impressive.

Nov 13, 2009 Big thanks to jdubfl for sharing this one. Pours hazy yellow with a white head. Nose is lactic, acid, malt, citrus, flowers, herbs, tartness, astringency, and a hint of earthy meadow. Flavor is about the same with plant and meadow notes in all of the sour flavor. Excellent beer with acidic qualities blending into a unique saison.

Nov 10, 2009 Bright yellow color, very piss-like...lots of sediment...was a bit dissapointed here...a lot of the flavors seemed muted by the grassy aspect

Nov 9, 2009 Bottle from SL. Poured a straw gold-orange to murky orange color by the bottom of the bottle. The aroma was lemons, light fruits, and I suppose a dandelion / floral aspect. The flavor was sweet-tart-y honey and faint caramel underneath tart citrus, grassy flavors. This thing was lacking an expressive carbonation, and although there was definite black pepper and Fantome spicing in there, both the carbonation and spicing were way underplayed here.

Nose is peaches, herbs, bark, lemon peel.
Taste is heavily floral with a bizarre fruity juicy syrupy finish.
