An unclear dark orange with an off white head. The aroma is very sweet with a light buttery touch. The flavor is buttery and caramelic, but also with light hoppy notes.

I can’t believe I haven’t rated this one (must be an over sight on my part). Good thing I had 1 750ml bottle left. Poured a medium and cloudy orange color with a huge sized off white head. Lots of small floaters. Aromas of yeast, fruity, and floral. Tastes of yeast, citrus, fruity, and lightly spicey. Body on the thinner side. I remember this being a little better when it was fresh, but this is still quite drinkable.

Huge rocky, perfect foam shaped off-white head tops the sunset deep sand (orange-amber) colored body. The gentle malt sweetness comes up biscuity and toasty, honeyish while the yeast is all about its multiple range of esters with hard to pick up individual spices and fruits while the obviously spicy, earthy hops act like a mellow perfume. Musty, peppery nature, pineapple touched sage? Notes. Elegant, very pleasant soft medium body, expanding foamy texture, citric, mineral hard wateriness and the mellowest alcohol are all part of the journey. Delicious, once again. The last of the 4 Heavyweight Saisons and I’d gladly drink a 750 of any of them by my lonesome, truly a successful line of experiments.

(750ml Bottle, # 1735) Pours a cloudy burnt orange body with a creamy medium-sized beige head. Aroma of caramel, florals, earthiness, toasted grain, and Dr. Pepper syrup. Flavor of floral hops, orange peel, and caramel.
