Aug 13, 2005 Updated: Dec 28, 2005(Bottled, 0.75l) Very hazy dark brownish amber color (much like sahti) with a smallish head. Sourish, a bit stingy aroma of toffee, dandelion and malt. Slightly sweet and tart flavor of caramel, spices, malt, hints of rye, wood and toffee, some aromatic-flowery hops and a long, bitter finish. The dandelions are quite clearly present - while alcohol certainly isn’t. Medium-bodied palate with smooth carbonation. A bit straightforward, but balanced, nicely dry and enjoyable countryside brew. Softer with the yeast poured in, as usual. Very refreshing in mid-winter, too!

Aug 12, 2005 Was spared by the lion’s teeth. Sampled in the wonderful settings of Moan & Dove. Simplistic and light, lightly acidic. That as much can be packed into something like this is a great fete. Not a blow your socks off beer, but lovely.

Aug 6, 2005 25oz - printemps 2004 - Aroma is sweet yeast, subtle malt, banana, and a touch of a spring day accented by fresh hops. Pours a cloudy brown under a huge creamy head that leaves tons of lacing. Flavor is a bit more tart than the aroma leads with carmel malt and clove leading the way. Then the hops and what I assume are the dandelions filling in the middle giving it that wild saison bite. There is still that sweet yeasty flavor bringing in the rear. Palate is very smooth for such a flavorfull brew. Interesting and intriging at the same time and worth a try.

Jul 29, 2005 Oh what a beer! Well worth the price. Deep golden with a off white head --who would have thought dandelions could taste soooo good. Hoppy with nice balance; light-medium body considering the alcohol

Jul 25, 2005 Updated: Dec 12, 2005Bottle: Poured an orangey color ale with a huge off-white head with perfect retention. Aroma of light spices which possibly includes cumin with some subtle funky yeast. Finish is slightly bitter but I would have expected a bit more at the end. Body is way too thin which kind of ruined part of the experience for me. Alcohol is well hidden. Overall, this is a very fine saison but I guess I was expecting another funky spicy monster which is not what this is about it seems.
