Oct 5, 2005 A toned down saison, and that’s a good thing. Primarily a sour at palate, intense flavour not for everyone. I liked it but was not expecting this. Citrus in aroma. A wild take on the actual style

Oct 5, 2005 Sampled at Logan’s loft during GABF RateBeer party 2005. My first “Biere De Garde.” Pours hazy orange, a bit chunky, with a light and quickly dissipating head. The aroma is of light wheat and grains. The flavor is slightly sweet in a citrus way (orange and lemon) with wheatish grain. Body is creamy yet crisp. Lingering fresh with summery aftertaste. Seems like a good choice on any hot day.

Sep 27, 2005 Bottle from goldtwins
750ml. Pours a copper color with a sizable but quickly dissipating off-white head. The nose has some phenols mostly coming accross as cloves and yeast along with some fruits, cobwebs and popcorn. Flavor is a bit sharp at first. Notes of grass, lemons, apples and strawberries backed by a big caramel maltiness with an almost biting dryness. Lingering toffee/ coffee aftertaste. Pretty complex; I could probably continue picking out flavor notes for the next hour.

Sep 24, 2005 750 from goldtwins. Pours a fizzy copperish color with a pure foamy white head. Nose is juicy, like apples, possibly a bit of melon. Taste is mostly applie like with a nice fizzy texture and a good hop like bitterness in the finish.

Sep 10, 2005 Couleur foncée aux reflets orangés, apparence opaque. Fine mousse blanche concassée se renouvelle facilement. Caractère malté, grain de la ferme, caramel, beurre, butterscotch forment un authentique quatuor. Toujours bien malté en bouche, levure, beurre, bonbon au beurre sous une touche florale et épicée. Faible acidité lactique - citrique. Aucune trace d’alcool de détecter. Corps d’épaisseur semi mince, finale légèrement sûre et acide. Bouteille, Southampton SHPH, N.Y., Septembre 2005.

Sep 9, 2005 Sampled at the labot day gathering. Lambic-esque grassy bitter aroma. Flavor comes off as slightly bitter acidic and some grassy sweetness, almost wheat tasting, and sour. Bitter, sour, acidic, that seems to sum it up. Yeah, I enjoyed it.

Sep 5, 2005 Looks like lemonade with a spicey nose, sweet yeasty to the tongue with a dry finish.
