Cloudy honey pour with a thin soapy head. Lemon yeast nose carrying some funk. Piles of lemon/lime and cheese. Barnyard in the after taste. Sour milk. Like a diet-gueuze. Drying salty finish. Like it: Sure do! Drink it all the time?: Are you nuts?

Bottle. Nose-smells like cork glue and acid. Very flat. Sharp notes of apple vinegar. Very vinegar like all around. Too sour and vinous to enjoy.

bottle. from 1995, thanks Tim. Cloudy golden body with a small white head. Beautiful aroma of tart apples and various other fruits - almost lambic like in all it’s funk glory. Very nice refreshing body, lots of apples, spice, and fruit flavours. Refreshingly tart and flavourful. Age was good to this Saison.

2005 RBSG Montreal Friday Night Tasting. 1995 bottle. Hazy golden colour with a thin frothy off-white foam. Tart, citric, yeasty, fruity, and light barnyard aroma. Acetic and lactic tartness, lightly yeasty, with a dry dusty bitter finish. Light bodied, dry, but very refreshing. Nice start to the night...

1995 Vintage sampled at RBSG Montreal: sour woody aroma with the slightest hint of green apple, hazy light gold appearance, sour white grape with extremely woody notes and a slightly chewy finish, tastes more like a gueze than a saison.

Hazy, dark toasted straw colored body with a thin, sudsy white head. Stray skunk note initially followed by mild yeasty notes and some spice. Very mild bouquet. Flavor has a lemony tartness and a pool water quality. A tart, thirst-quenching saison. The acidity in this adds yet another facet to the saison universe. Otherwise, this beer is fair but unexceptional.

Golden/orange with film for head. Initial aroma is a huge sour kick. Has some earthy/musty qualities to it. Flavor is very sour citrus with a tiny bit of spice/woodsy character to it. Fades very quickly, with only a light sour in the aftertaste.
