Jun 10, 2008 750 ml bottle. A cloudy pale golden beer with a huge and persistent white head that leaves laces on the glass. The aroma is malty and very spicy: hints of corriander and other spices, plus citric fruits and some hops with a grassy note. The flavour is the same spicy and fruity, well balanced, with a touch of acidity. Creamy mouthfeel, medium to full body, lively carbonation, long finish with medium bitterness. Quite complex and refreshing, very spicy. An interesting beer.

Mar 4, 2008 From a 75 cl bottle at Zythos beer festival 2008. Cloudy pale golden with medium white head. Earthy malt aroma with spicy yeast notes and perhaps a hint of coriander, along with typical funky saison touch and notes of wood. Medium bodied with soft mouthfeel. Very well balanced with a light initial sweetness that is overthrown by a firm bitterness and a dictrete acidity.

Feb 10, 2008 A Mes rate: 75cl bottle at Battersea Beer Festival.
Thick cloudy blonde, lots of floaty stuff and a very good tight white head. It almost spilled out of the glass when pored but settled really well. Sharp hoppy aroma that’s spicy and yeasty with some slight bitter notes. A proper saison. The flavour follows on well. Hops up front as they should be with wheat, malt and lots of grain. Nice bitter finish. Maybe a little over carbed but enjoyable stuff all the same.
