Nov 26, 2009 Bottle at the brewery. Pours a hazy dark orange, 1 finger tan head. Aroma is dusty, funky, hay, belgian yeast, wheat, light fruits, apricots perhaps. It’s fairly sweet, but has a nice refreshing semidry finish. Quite like a saison, and a very drinkable and good one at that. Carbonation was too lively, hopefully this will be toned down.

Oct 16, 2009 Sampled at the brewery. A powered-up version of their ’Blondie’. A dense offwhite head resting on an unclear, orangey to light amber colored body. Belgo-yeast up front, slightly perfumed fruitiness with a sour touch. Some mild spices and a whiff of biscuity malts. Taste has a soft malt characther, slightly sweet, with notes of mild spices. A certain funky, acidulous fruitiness underneath. Quite filling. Smooth, almost creamy in the mouth. A very good one, high drinkability!

Oct 16, 2009 Tasting at the brewery, but this will be on general release.
Lovely barnyard aroma, saison-like. Brewed with 10% oats, and there is 25% smoked malt, too, but it blends in so well that there is no smoked character. Some Belgian yeast character. Very likeable, would be great with food.
