Oct 28, 2006 750ml Corked and caged. Pours a cloudy light golden colour with a never say die rocky white head. Saazlike hop aroma, apples, lemon, and some barnyard. Big spicy yeast flavours, lemon well hopped with a creamy mouthfeel yet the carbonation is quite lively. When I finnaly made it down to the yeast pour some barnyard notes come out. A nice saison and a good way to watch a hockey game.

Oct 28, 2006 Grand white head with good retention. Yeast and citrus dominate the aroma. Pale yellow in color with a slight haze when held to light. Taste doesn’t differ from the aroma but does have a bit of a tartness near the end. Dry, very dry. A bit uninspired, which is the trend I’ve found with saisons in general.

Oct 25, 2006 Bottle at the Fourguet (the brewery tap), light amber, slightly hazy with visible sediment, and a rocky pure white head. A floral yeasty aroma with warm spicing. Dry and hoppy on the palate, fruity flavorus giving way to an even dryer and sour finish (with some peppery notes).

Oct 1, 2006 Pours hazy dull yellow with a nice sized soapy white head. The aroma has sharp citrus, barnyard, pepper and earthy yeast. Medium body with lots of semi-sharp carbonation. The taste starts with an earthy tart flavor that is tingly on the roof of the mouth. There is a brett flavor that is dominant. The finish hs sharper and drier than most saisons. I’m not sure what difference the spelt made, but this is a quality saison worth having.
