The aroma is very inviting, like a geuze but also fruity and sweet. Tastes like a sophisiticated strawberry chewing gum. bradlyc77 (226), Sebastopol, California, USA

| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Sep 27, 2008 From a cellared bottle at a RateBeer tasting (thanks Joe!): Pale yellow and somewhat hazy in glass, like lemonade.
Syrupy-citrus aroma with a high salty nose, tastes of bitters and grapefruit rind as well as marshmallow (the herb as well as the campfire treat). Represented by flavor of canned mandarin oranges. Memorable. LordCorkscrew (964), Ronco Scrivia (GE), Italy
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 20, 2008 Stupenda saison che finalmente riesco a bere in una forma che se non era perfetta ci si avvicinava. Bottiglia da 75cl divisa in tre al Mulino. La gradazione alcolica del tutto insospettabile. travita (1921), Frisco, Texas, USA

Spicy lemon tart sugary aroma. Delicate vanilla sugar sweetness with cherry/lemon popsicle fruitiness Spicy dry tart hi-carbonated finish. Great mix of flavors with no off-flavors or over-spicing. Medium-light body. Extremely quaffable yet strong and very complex. I just love a great saison, and this one is great.
