| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Sep 25, 2008 Bottle from 5000. Aww yeah. Beautiful pour, huge white head and quite cloudy. Spicy hay nose, very floral, peachy, mild. Flavor is deep and complex, but mellow, thick with yeast, unsweetened chocolate, lavender. Very easy on the palate while retaining a great body. Carbonation is perfect. This is a wonderful saison. Doesn’t seem like it would age well, though. dalekliz (546), San Diego, California, USA
