Nov 18, 2008 <i>Bottle (375ml) shared with garthicus, jerc & mabel -- courtesy of HogTownHarry.</i> Pours a murky yellow-gold with tons of little floaties and a spare diminishing creamy white head. Nice aroma of lightly sour fruit along with slightly funky yeast and spices. Flavour’s yeasty and citrusy along with some spices and light hops -- it’s refreshing and easy to drink. Average bodied. Pretty good stuff.

Oct 21, 2008 75cl bottle from Alvinnes Proefzolder. Yellow-gold beer with a small white head. Not much aromas noticeble. Very fresh taste: citrus, wheat, very dry end. More a good wheat beer in stead of Saison if you ask me

Oct 11, 2008 750mL Bottle. Noses in strong fresh fall apple skin, flesh and juice. Bright and acidic. So apple, so fresh, so bright. Pours a heavily clouded deep orange, with a nice fresh white head. Flavor is calmer, but still a distinct, wonderful fresh apple palate. Crisp, sharp and juicy. Some older hops slide in fast for a bit of discordance. Palate is airy, tart and slightly acidic. Balanced, fresh and beautiful. What a wonderful beer, sans the dirty, dusty cellar musty old celery seed hop scourge. The front end of this beer is stellar.
