750 mL bottle, capped...fairly fresh: clear straw, turning hazy towards the bottom of the bottle. Striking ivory head, very generous and fairly dense. Wonderful floral aroma with a dusty, fruity barnyard presence. Instant classic in my mind: dry, funky aroma paired with yeasty baked bread and sweet, overripe bananas, pears and mushy apples. Mouthfeel and texture is pure and simple: soft on the tongue with a slight tingle in the back of the mouth. Extremely dry finish, with a long, bitter, yeasty, fruity flavour...exactly what it should be in my view. Well done!

Dec 30, 2009 Bottle (small sample). Light orange pour, white head. Citrus and floral hop nose, "clean" tasting for a Saison. A hopped-up Saison - pretty cool.

Nov 29, 2009 Sampled 10/26/2009. This saison pours a medium orange gold color from a 750ml bottle. Medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is fruity and sweet, orange and orange peel. Bright and yeasty. A medium bodied saison. The malts are fruity and sweet, nice citrusy and flavor flavors. Crisp, clean and light, yet has a nice full mouthfeel. Nice dry finish. This beer went very well with the Thanksgiving meal. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and dry. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Nov 28, 2009 75 cL bottle, courtesy of fonefan. Pours hazy orange with a huge white head, slowly collapsing. Aroma is distinct citrus and floral hoppy with a light yeasty note. Smooth - almost velvet like mouthfeel and hops fruity flavours mixed with mellow yeasty notes. Smooth fruity and bitter flavoured finish yet with a light sweet impression into the far finish.

Nov 23, 2009 Bouteille de 750 ml, lors du Bières et Bouffe IV. Arômes de levure citronnée et de céréales. Robe blonde très pâle et trouble, effervescence active. Très citronnée et veloutée en bouche, on retrouve également une touche de houblon herbal. Finale très sèche, légèrement acide et moyennement amère. Une excellente saison, tout à fait dans le style.

Nov 18, 2009 Pours deep gold into a tulip. Fluffy white conglomerate head recedes leaving spotted sheets. Dusty lemon and caramel aromas. Crisp with upfront sharp fruity hops and marshmallow turning back to a lasting bitter finish.
