Great looking bottle and label. Thanks to whoever brought this to TiggMtl’s farewell tasting.

Very respectable murky peach, topped with a perfect head well woven honeycombs and plenty of effervescence. It doesn’t get much better than this for the style, at least to my liking.
Has the yeasty and bready characteristics I look forward to in a Saison, but nothing to really bring it over the top.
Starts off pretty good, interesting fullness of body and quite sparkling, and then after a few sips this really off vegetal, acrid flavor comes through and just hangs in there forever. Too bad, it had the looks to be a real home run, but something in the taste just went totally wrong.

Bottle. Hazy yellow in color with a nice white head. Yeasty spicey aroma. Clove and coriander notes. Malty fruity and spicey flavor. Nice peppery notes. Apricots and peaches. Medium bodied. Finish is spicey. Full mouthfeel. Nice beer. Interesting.

Hazy straw colour with a flimsy head. Yeasty, slightly footie aroma with light spiciness. Sweet malt note also with a fair bit of dusty one-dimensional yeastiness.

Very cloudy yellow-orange beer with a thick fluffy white head. Sweet yeasty corianderish aroma, strong bubble gum esters. A bit dank and earthy. Light black pepper and alcohol. Flavour is also fruity with some decent wheaty dryness. Apricot/peach flavour, some heavy dustiness, fairly full mouthfeel, a bit of honey. Dusty finish.

Bottle - a terrific smelling beer! Big and yeasty - as a saison should be - with a coriander finish. Palish yellow body with a lively white - did I say white? - head that just will not go away. Flavor is sweet and yeasty. A touch of lemon and lime hit the sides of the tongue in the finish. I’ve not had a lot of saisons, so my point of reference is limited, but I really enjoyed this beer!

Sampled at the Milwaukee YEHa!05 courtesy of BBB63: Pours a lightly hazy golden with a dense frothy white head. Pleasant, sweet Belgian malty and floral aroma has a touch of earthy hops. Body starts lightly sweet and earthy turning more dry, lightly spiced, and yeasty toward the finish. Fairly authenic brew, but could use a little more malty balance.

Hazy yellow body, thick white head. Leafy, yeasty aroma with mineraly cracker malt. Big yeasty, lime-y flavor with lightly spicy green hops. Feels unrefined.
