nice golden straw color. HUGE white head, wicked lacing on my glass. Aroma is sooooooooo nice. Big peppery notes. Lots of apples, and plums, and some citrus, coupled with that great saison pepperiness is outstanding! Flavour is so complex. Slight tartness reminds me of a lambic, but its so smooth. Great fruit, and peppery notes. Lots of sour hops. Wow, just a wicked saison. One of my new favorites for the style.

Sep 23, 2007 Bottle... Poured a cloudy bright orange with a huge head formy like a fluffy cloud. Fruity, egg-like aroma. High carbonations with flavors that are reminiscent of a floral, fruity wine, as well as yeast, barley-malt and strong spices, very tart, sorta like a jolly rancher...pretty enjoyable.

Sep 19, 2007 Medium gold, aggressive carbonation. Aroma is faintly citric with a shot of sourness typical of the Jolly Pumpkin beers I’ve had. Flavor is dominated by sourness, some lemon and orange zest, and an herbal finish. Quite nice.

Sep 17, 2007 From the bottle (bonus from mreusch. thanks Matt!) Pours a hazy golden orange with full foamy head that hangs around a while. Earthy citrus aroma prominent. Bitter citrus flavor on first taste. Mellows a bit after a little warmth. Bitter finish. Not really my style, so probably won’t have again.

Sep 15, 2007 Golden-orange in colour, large fluffy white coloured head, excellent retention and lacing, carbonation tornado effect coming up from the bottom of the glass. The aroma is quite yeasty, lots of brett, lemon citrus, spice, oranges and peaches. The flavour is very bretty, lots of yeast and spice, musty, orange and lemon citrus zest, herbal. Dry mouthfeel, medium body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes long, excellent bitterness, lots of citrus. This just blew me away. A brett lovers beer. This is what I picture Orval to be like if it were a Saison. Fantastic stuff.
