May 8, 2009 11.2 oz corked and capped bottle. Unique presentation. The body is a hazy, dark, burnt orange amber color. Despite a vigorous pour, it stands mostly flat, scant, forced bubbled quickly disappearing from the surface. No lacing. The aroma is weird and funky, soured oak and tart, tannic apple skins showing strong. Footy cheese and old, dank must assert a bit too much funk for my liking. Flavors of sour apple and white grape are sharp and acidic, while brash oak overpowers any underlying malt character. Nary a hint of hop character is to be found within. The palate is flat and feels watered down. This stuff is passable on aroma, but nothing else about it really is. Pretty nasty stuff.

Apr 14, 2009 Bottle Amber, lightly hazy body. Creamy, lightly fizzy head. Aroma of malts, caramel, citrus. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet flavour (a bit sour) of flowers and citrus. Not too great, balance is not so great and the soury toucg doesn’t add up to the balance either. Watery mouthfeel. Lowly bodied.

Mar 22, 2009 Bottle - 750ml. Nice hazy golden body with average carbonation and a thin white foamy head. Enjoyable malty/hoppy aroma with herbal and flowery hints. Alcohol is perfectly hidden. Its sharp hoppy taste carries herbal and some apple notes. Ends with a long bitter finish. Good Saison.

I tried this beer on February 25, 2009 at ’Smokeless Joes’ In Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a cloudy reddish brown with a 1" thick white head. The aroma was musty, earthy, with a definite apple hint. The mouthfeel was slightly watery and mildly carbonated. The flavour was grainy malt, sour apples, and some earthiness.

Feb 22, 2009 Bottle the First BA Nashville tasting. Aroma of hay and Belgian esters. Pours a hazy amber with a white head. Lighter side of medium bodied. Flavor of pale Belgian malts, yeast, clove, and white pepper with some residual sweetness. Not bad, but lacks a wow factor.

Feb 21, 2009 Deep amber-gold with no head. Intense apple cider and apple skin aromas, acidic. Very low carbonation. Super apple mustiness, which I quite like. Brandy-like and not a whole lot else but I like it.

Jan 19, 2009 Dark orange color with a thick two finger just off white head and spots of lacing. Orange rind aroma, lightly spicy. Taste is lots of damp funk, hay and horseblanket, lightly spicy and mild fruits. These could be old bottles left in the Knoxville area but no idea how much.
