Sep 12, 2005 Foret, 750-ml. Unfiltered, beautiful glowing gold color with a sudsy, white, nearly 1" tall head in the tulip, leaving some wonderful lacing tracts in its wake. Perfumey sweetness in the aroma along with sweet and sour lemons, coriander, candi sugar, freshly squeezed bitter oranges and sour limes. Lovely first quaff. Lemon rinds, mint leaves and sage are called to attention. Welcome to the farm. So good. Rosemary, baguette crust, limes and the slightest hint of vanilla come through in consecutive sips. Slick and lightly effervescent. Lingering perfumey hops. Impeccable balance, finishing like sugar indoctrinated limeade. Fantastic rendition.

Aug 28, 2005 Pours with a cloudy, golden body topped by a thick head with lots of lacing. It’s slightly sweet and grassy with a slight skunk and a peppery bitterness. Light to medium bodied and dry.

Aug 23, 2005 Updated: Aug 24, 200525 cl bottle with 08/2007 exp date: Looks like a jar of Clover honey with a foamy white head. Very sweet, wildflowers and fruit cocktail scents.
A mild Lambicky tart quality up front with the sweet fruit in the middle, a crisp finish. Another "Thumbs up" Saison *Note to self-Must get to Belgium!*

Aug 6, 2005 Bottle. Initially a grass/hay aroma that fades to an orange rind and light barnyard aroma. Orange amber color - cloudy with decent head and moderate efferverscence. Fairly high acidity initially with sweet apricot flavor in the middle and moderately bitter finish. Not too overpowering - easy drinking and smooth. (Foret)

Jul 16, 2005 Updated: May 23, 2006Cloudy gold body with a slightly off white head. The aroma is rich with some funky oranges and blue cheese. There is also some musty flowers medicine and menthol. A very summer like and flower aroma. Incredibly enticing. The taste is light with oranges and some medicinal quality. There is also some light bread crust. Incredibly refreshing. Great summer time saison.

Jul 8, 2005 A dry and somewhat mineral-accented saison. Dare I say I enjoy it as much as Saison Dupont, which I have always found to lack that nice banana/pear yeast component? This manages bitterness, with metallic hints, and integrates them with light spice notes, honeyed malt, and some nice fruit esters. Not the most bowl-you-over saison, but solid.

Jun 30, 2005 Bottle. Pours a very cloudy dark gold with foamy white head. Nose is peppery and spicy, with almost a leafy scent to it. Taste is spicey again with some harsh bitterness and warming of alcohol. Quite dry and interesting
