The pour reveals a slightly cloudy orange golden color with a thick, rocky white head that leaves superb lacing on the glass. The aroma has the classic Dupont yeast with a good dose of spices (allspice?), fruits and hay. The flavor is the summum of balance and class, the yeast, spices, fruits and hay all get their space and time on the stage but no elements dominates the others which means a remarkable dosage of the spices, not too much but enough to feel it. The body is full with a comfy, creamy texture and lively carbonation. This is simply awesome and hits the spot amazingly on the beginning of the week-end.
Aroma and flavor of earthy yeast, spices and citrus. Bitter finish. Light to medium body, lively carbonation. Whoa, very good stuff, I like it better than Vieille provision Saison Dupont.

Aug 16, 2008 The best Saison I have tried in America.An absolutely killer appearance. The quintessential photographic beer. A medium, creamy, and mostly lingering head. Carbonation the dances on the sides of the glass, and a rich two-tone golden color that is hazy yet bright and sparkling. The head mellows into a wonderful, meadow of froth, with small hills and valleys. A few particles of yeast are present as well. Flowery and citrus hop notes intermingle with bananas and caramel. The aroma seems to swirl in around in my nose, with different notes taking the lead on every inhalation. The flavor is well balanced, slightly sweet, slightly sour, and slightly bitter. Maybe just a tiny bit metallic. The finish is sour.

Aug 10, 2008 oops didn’t mean to open this one, but here we go. medium hazy gold, persistent creamy white head, dusty speckled sediment. foggy aroma with some lemon citrus. dry tart wheat character continues with the lemon. bonus points for the increased alcohol and organic ingredients.

Aug 3, 2008 250ml bottle from Barley Wine, Copenhagen. White, creamy head on top of a hazy, orange body. Some laceworks on the glass. Fruity nose with hints of spices. Taste of sweet riped oranges with a dash of yeast beneath. A bit too sweet (Thanks to Finn Arvid for sharing, 02.08.2008).
