Feb 1, 2009 Bottle: Poured a hazy burnt orange with a off white head. The aroma is spice, grass/hay, and floral. Taste is tart and bitter with what seems to be spices and apples, definetly barnyard, and yet smooths off at the end.

Dec 27, 2008 2003 bottle. A big thanks to my cousin Greg (ggaughan)for providing this for our annual Christmas day tasting. I first sampled this on my 25th birthday at Monks Cafe in Philadelphia, and I have wanted to try it again ever since. Pours a murky golden color, capped with a small off-white head. Really nice saison aroma, with notes of earth, yeast, wheat, spice, flowers, and a mild herbal component. Flavor is complex as well, with yeast, spice, barnyard, grass, white grape, and flowers. Beautiful mildly tart finish, with white grape, flowers, and spice. Beautiful beer; I am really thankful that I got to try it again!

Nov 17, 2008 750ml bottle. Dated 2004 on the label. Wonderful aroma. Very ’’Fantome.’’ Tart, funky, earthy, grassy... Cut grass, wet leaf pile, musty attic, ginger and allspice, a touch of cola sweetness, gingerbread, pumpkin meat. Dusty and dry malt profile. Wildflower perfuminess. Beautiful nose... manages to be sour, sweet, hoppy and malty all at once. Pours a Very dark orange. Even a gentle pour yields a thick, rusty beer with a nice sized off white head. Flavor dosen’t quite match the intensity and complexity of the aroma. Rather dry and dusty. Dried leaves, dirt... Plenty of dry, bready malt, grassy and earthy hops... lacking in the funky yeast department, though. A hint of spicy ginger. Medium bodied with rather lively carbonation. Finishes earthy, dusty and rather dry. Thanks Joe!

Oct 21, 2008 Bottle thanks to Miketd, thanks a ton for hooking me up with this. Poured a hazy, vibrant red-orange color with a moderate beige head that faded to a layer and left some thick spotty lacing. Earthy, grassy aroma with hints of dandelions and some funky barnyard, straw, and some moderate fruitiness (orange, tangerine, light lemon). Smooth, lightly sweet entry with some soft grassy undertones leads into a nice flowery flavor with some tart fruit (orange and lemon) and a dry yeastiness with a bit of funk on the finish. Moderate carbonation, full and smooth on the palate. Very good.

Aug 13, 2008 [Bottle from La Roche.] Nice fresh fruit, sour in a very fresh way. Very drinkable with that wellbalanced "thistquencing" sweet and sour flavor of spices (pebber), dandelions, salt, acid, floral, earthy, some ginger and a nice dry finish.

Aug 6, 2008 [1361-20080517] 1pt9.4floz bottle. Sour citrus yeast aroma has a hint of earth. Murky, medium orange brown body with a medium-lasting creamy off-white head. "Subdued" sour yeasty earthen malt flavour. Medium body is sour. Nice sour but I wasn’t as crazy about it as the others.
