Aroma of cardamom and lemon tea. Flavors include graham cracker and also some lemon. Palate is fizzy, too much so, detracts from this eccentric herbal tea-like beer.

2005 on the cage. Slightly hazy golden body, huge carbonation and big fluffy white head. Dry pollen and corn bread aroma. The flavor has a pervasive honey-cornbread sweetness with stemmy grass and a mandarin orange rind. Bit too sweet for my taste.

Rating from memory. 2005 bottle, purchased at some lovely bottle shop in Philly. A really interesting saison that lingers in the memory, with a full body, pleasantly piqant aroma, and a sharp, quirky flavor. Hibiscus and rose petals come across to this relatively unsophisticated nose, giving an interesting quality to an already good saison (less buttery than their Deluxe). I do hope to try this again sometime.

2005 cage date. Thanks to DaveP for sharing. Gusher blew the cork down the hallway. Off orangish pour w/ a huge frothy off white head that dissipates fairly quickly and leaves a moderate lacing behind. Floral aroma some light white peppers hints of clove and a touch of fruits. Palate is well coated a bit astringent. Very nice mellow flavor. some very earthy notes hints of flower petals a dry finish with a sweet front. Odd to taste the sugars, they must be non-fermentables.

Pale and hazy with a big head. Very floral aroma but also with an assertive breadcrusty character and nice dry-hops. Herbal, floral characer with hints of both sweetness and astringency. The yeasty finish is quite dry.

Pours a cloudy golden color with thin white head. Floral aroma (duh) with hints of malt, spice and light fruit. Very quaffable with a nice floral flavor accompaned by a nice maltiness and hints of citrus fruit.

300 ml draught, Blind Tiger. Golden colour. Small white head. Peppery aroma with a strong rose leaves aroma. Rich peppery spicy flavour balanced by sharp carbonation. Medium-bodied. Rich malty flavours and wonderful spiced backbone.

Blind tasting at Papsoe. Hazy golden colour with a huge fizzy white head. A lot of spices in the aroma, such as coriander, flower, citrus, raisins, yeast and some diacetyl. Very tasty flavour with notes of alcohol, grape fruit and ends with a high carbonation.
