Dec 17, 2007 Corked 750 ml shared with the mother. This thing exploded as soon as I untwisted the wire. Almost took my eye out! Yikes. Classic saison. Solid flavor of spices, zesty lemon, and a farmhouse like dust. Fresh, lively, clean, and a stand up example of the style. A good place to start.

Dec 16, 2007 Bottle @ YNWA, Kolding. Pours a pale hazy yellow with little particles in the liquid. A fairly large foamy white head on top. Flavour is spicy with a lightly sweet banana touch. Kind of lively mouthfeel. Quite dry flavours, with a light spiciness. A touch vinious. Okay in its balance with ginger, pepper and yeast in the finish.

Dec 14, 2007 Absolutely phenomenal beer. A pleasure to pour, and drink. Nice packaging, with an monumental head upon pour. Some sweetness in the palate, nice, clean finish. Wish I could find this more often.

Dec 13, 2007 Bottle @ Gollem, Amsterdam. Not much more to add here. The benchmark of good saisons. Pleasant to drink, a cornucopia of flavors throughout and quite pleasing overall. One of the best in class.

Dec 9, 2007 This seemed like a 2/3 Belgian ale and 1/3 Champagne crossbreed. Not much funk and not complex. The first half of the bottle was not as good as the 2nd which had a slightly creamy mouth feel. OK but nothing special.

Nov 30, 2007 Updated: Dec 1, 2007Bottle from Total Wine in Naples, FL. Pours a hazy gold with a thick frothy head. Wonderful complex aroma of lemon rind, fresh hay, yeast, fruit. Very nice feathery and earthly texture, with a non-prickly carbonation. The flavor is so well-balanced between the malt, sweetness, dryness, and bitterness. Flavors that come out are lemon, yeast, spice, pineapple, bread, and herbal hops. Finish is semi-dry and yeasty. Not much sourness. A classic example of the style and not a huge palate killer. Pairs well with seafood or cheese.
