Bottle 37.5. Hazy yellow color. Huge head with plenty of yeasty and spicey notes in the aroma. Acid and some fruity and spicey notes can be found flavorwise. Pretty good.

(Bottle, 0.75 l, at Hilpeä Hauki on 2008-08-04) Yellow and hazy. Big white head. Slightly sour and fruity nose. Medium-bodied palate with lot of carbonation. Sour, fruity, bitter, citric taste with some grapefruit in it, too. A bit boring saison.

bottle: cork rocket out of this one thought it put a hole in the celling. pours with a giant pure white foamy head that sits atop a golden hay coloured body with a geyser of liny bubbles coming up from the bottom of the glass. aroma is a little on the sour side with great grain aroma, brigth fruits and a slight yeast.. flavour is good and wheaty with other grain flavours too, the yeast is very prominent with a slight bite of bitter and a some farmhouse funk. a great ssison.

Hazy yellow with a huge head.Deliciously spicy nose with citrus and yeast. Acidic notes as well. Flavour starts sweet with a very complex yeastiness that makes a dry finish. Good carbonation. An extraordinary saison

2004 bottle. Hazy golden with a lot of sediment. Thin head. Cellar nose, strangely watery body. Hints of cream and rubber. Coconut finish. Unexpectably bland.

Out of the bottle the aroma of spicy yeast is amazing. I almost appreciate the aroma of this fine saison more than the flavor. Pours a slightly hazy straw golden with beautifully spritzy carbonation. Make sure to have 2 or 3 tulips ready when you pour because the carbonations forms a huge head that is retained very well. Drinks with a very dry, yet fruity flavor with semi-lingering finish. I just love Saison & this one is on the top of my list. I appreciate the bone dry & spicy aspects to this beer and wish that more American brewers produced a beer with theses characteristics as opposed to the more fruity, sweet side. Blaugies never lets me down.
