Nov 30, 2009 Pours a beautiful very cloudy straw with a medium head... had some sediment in my glass as well. The smell is amazing: fruits, also a little earthy with buttery malts. Taste is almost the same as the smell... but also complex and dry. I am drinking my first one as I write this and I have to say this may be a perfect blonde beer... the taste stays with you in a very good way. The Belgiums are absolutely amazing with their beer!

Nov 25, 2009 Pours with a beautiful, full white head. Very nice golden color.
Massive aroma of earth - fruits and biscuity malts. I feel like I have just come home for dinner after a day working the fields in Belgium!
The full mouthfeel has layers of the yeast and malts, following through with a little spice and fruit on the finish. It has a very crisp, well integrated taste - but also is very complex.
I would pour this while enjoying a cheese plate as we wait for the Thanksgiving turkey to cook!

Nov 11, 2009 Pours hazy orange with a foamy white head, Not much retention. Aroma is Sour and yeasty with notes of oranges. Very interesting flavour, slightly sour with lots of spices. A but fruity with a dry bitter finish. That really lingers for a long time. Very nice beer.

Nov 11, 2009 Now this is a beer! Pours a hazy, golden color with a thick, white head. Aroma is sweet and fruity. Flavors include some citrus and spice, with a nice touch of bitterness to the aftertaste. Not as sour as some saisons I’ve tried (and that’s a plus as far as I’m concerned).

Nov 9, 2009 33cl bottle at the Live and Live, Cambridge. A hazy amber pour with a thin whtie head; aroma of roasted oats, and unmistakably porridge; the flvaour also has tasted oats and some fruit; the finish is dry and oaty. Very much my cup of tea, or that should be "bowl of porridge".

Nov 9, 2009 Color dark gold with white and adherent foam. The attractive and pleasant aroma is of fruit, mainly sweetish. The medium body is citrus fruit with a beautiful end of hop. Splendid saison.
