Oct 16, 2009 Updated: Oct 24, 2009Golden pour with a small white head. Aroma is citrus, hay, some spice. Flavor is light, creamy, lemon zest and orange peel with some more of that spicy hay in the aroma. Satisfying and thirst quenching.

Oct 13, 2009 Bottle pours gold with a thin white head. Aroma is faint, but shows notes of banana, ginger, and grains of paradise. Flavor is sweet malt, apple, pear, and trace amount of black pepper. Good integration, but somehow lacks interest. I would much rather drink carnevale, but something tells me this would pair better with a meal.

Sep 27, 2009 With a dense, white crown and an opaque, golden body this saison looks impressive in a tulip. Having been cellared for 6 months, the aroma still explodes with freshness -sour apple, banana, light pepper and ginger, hints of apricot. Taste is oh-so-balanced subacid fruits, fresh apricot and banana, sour yeast, refreshing and subtly spicy and pairs well with dinner of ancient grains salad and stuffed chicken breast. Mouthfeel was medium, smooth and starchy with lively but well integrated carbonation. I really enjoyed this.

Sep 26, 2009 660ml bottle (Porvoo BF2009)
Pale, persistent head. Vanilla aroma, light banana. Pleasant carbonation, cuts through the glue well, which is quite restrained. Fresh crisp hops, that and alcohol in the front of the taste. Dull and chemical. An insult to real farmhouse beers.
