Jun 22, 2005 Bottle, 750 mL: Cloudy light orange, big diminishing white hilly head. Aroma is filled with yeast (breads), light citrus (oranges, lemons)and outdoor barnyard. Flavor is tart citrus (exactly what I am looking for, lemons and green apples), mild spice and gueuze-like sourness in background. Lively, tickling, mouthfeel from splendid carbonation. Another good saison.

Jun 20, 2005 Updated: Aug 9, 2008I purchased this at Half Time and feel the lighting there may have effected the green bottle and added some skunkyness. I kept it in a crate in the basement after. I enjoyed the sourness but it was a bit to acidic. It seemed pretty fruity as advertized and that was refelected in the aroma.
Rerate 8-8-08: I sense a heavy apple tone amidst the acidity which I have adapted too-I think its a bit watered down now. Its amazing how my palate has changed since I joined RB a few years ago. The flavor does not totally excel as much as the aroma does.

Jun 14, 2005 Peach in colour with lots of carbonation. Fantastically fruity and yeasty in both the nose and the mouth. There are minor notes of barnyard, and various spices. Light and refreshing on the palate, without compromising its complexity. Perhaps the epitome of the saison style?

Jun 12, 2005 This light orange summer ale poured with no head, eliciting a sour fruity aroma. There was a gueuze-like initial flavor with a flatter finish. The flavor improved as the glass emptied.

Jun 11, 2005 Brilliant! Yellow gold in colour, very hazy. Wonderful fresh fruit aroma, with some citrus and sour notes. Flavour is very fruity, with some mild spice. Very refreshing, and alcohol is perfectly disguised. Wonderful stuff.

Jun 6, 2005 Trouble, entre le jaune et l’orangée, énorme mousse blanche, crémeuse et persistante. Signature typique, très levuré, herbal aussi. Racines de plantes, terreux, faible caractère sauvage, meringue et quelques composantes phénoliques et épicées en bouche. Caractères de style saison intéressant et quelque peu muets. Corps d’épaisseur mi-mince à moyenne. Carbonatation piquante demeurant en arrière-plan. Échantillon, mondial de la bière, Juin 2005.

Jun 6, 2005 Sampled at le Mondial de la bière 2005. Pours a hazy light orange color with a thin white head that leaves nice lacing on the glass. Appealing aroma of spices and perfume with a mild touch of earthy and funky tones. Flavor of citrus, spices and perfume with mild earthyness and funkyness. The body is light to medium, the texture creamy and dry, the carbonation is soft.

Jun 5, 2005 [Bottle at "the Mondiale"]
Hazy orange-yellow with a huge, fuzzy and rocky, lasting head that formed okay lacing. Yeasty, woody, grape, apricot, and hops fill the aroma with some sweet malt. Dry, woody grape flavour with some sweet yeast. Notes of apricot, tart peach and apple. Tingly sweet and not alcoholic tasting. Warming in the mouth with plenty of carbonation and a clean finish. Excellent.
