Bottle shared at glouglouburps roof top tasting. Poured a flat golden orange with virtually no head even after some serious agitation. very very floral nose with some detectable lavender and a very light hint of malts. Medium bodied and rather dry, well it is a saison so what would you expect?? Lots of floral notes in the flavor as well and as nice as this was it just is to far past my palate for now. A good beer just not for me.

The cloudy orange serving I got looked mysterious as it came my way, but I didn’t have time to really examine it in an artistic sense, as there were so many people trying to get in line for beer. The smell lingered long after my first sip, which just exploded with floral tastes. I couldn’t remember anything like it terms of its smooth character with flowers and mild maltiness. It was part Saison and part Tripel to me. I thought this would make a great beer to serve in real beer loving company rather than the masses who might not understand it.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden straw color with a substantial soapy white head. Aroma is huge floral, spice, yeast, citrus. Flavor is floral, cirus, lemon zest, yeast, sugar. Palate is medium bodied, medium to highly carbonated, finishes fruity and crisp. Outstanding.

simply outstanding..the best saison that i have tried..cloudy, golden yellow pour with medium white head...huge florals, spice, yeast, lemon, candy cane, and mint leaves in the nose...perhaps the most unique and complex aroma that i have sampled..flavor is touches of rose, peppermint, spearmint, clove, spruce, lemon, and grass...completely fresh and crisp, this beer is a gem...perfect for a saison

Wow- this was quite surprising- mostly because I didn’t know what to expect from the style and the flowers. This is a wonderful summer brew with lots of lemon and citrus. A sweet and sour floral aroma and taste. I really liked this.

2005 on cap, plain label as in picture so Southampton; 750ml bottle; nose of honey and spices; hazy light copper with a huge yellowish head; flavor is lightly tart with a minty and peppery note; finish is peppery then lightly tart. Very good saison; maybe Odeed would like this one!

Very cloudy dirty banana color. Very small white head. Ok, from the nose I get where the name comes from. Very floral, not in a floral hops kind-of-way. Very floral in a cute flowers kind-of-way. Roses, orchids and all kind of garden flowers. Leave a bottle opened at home and your girlfriend will walk in with a “Darling, you shouldn’t have!”. Well malted pillowy body. Honey, rosewater, grapefruit, a twist of lemon, grass. Taste is fortunately less perfumy than what the aroma hinted on. The flavours feel soft and light but the beer feels full. Very interesting.
