May 16, 2007 We had this at a dinner hosted by a local brewery. It is a wonderful beer from start to finish.

May 13, 2007 Bottle (750ml). Shared with tupalev, my bottle via trade with adrian910ss. Bubbly hazy amber-orange with an average wispy off-white head (4-). Aroma of sweet caramel malt, soft sweet spice, lemon zest - oddly caramelized, like burnt candy. Taste - very nice - up front I got a lot of anise, wish sweet malt and spice, but as it warmed it became increasingly appealing, with candied orange peel and tangerine zest blending with light spice bitterness to make for a nice sweet finish, only very moderately alcoholic (although I started to feel it a little later). The mouthfeel was of watered down syrup, silky and a bit sticky but a touch watery (like it were on tap, not bottled) - quite acceptable carbonation, not a long finish, but a pleasant sweet and spicy linger - very well done, yet I have to say I enjoyed the Saison Deluxe a bit more, although this one went down easier!

May 12, 2007 Bottle, shared with and courtesy of Hogtown Harry. Medium orange, small white head. Candy sweet aroma, a little artificial, lots of alcohol. Formidable taste; lots of alcohol, lots of spiciness. Pleasing soft body but a tad thin. Taste gets better as it warms - anise fades, giving way to orange peel crispness. Good stuff.

May 11, 2007 Bottle shared with blankboy, mds, jerc & mabel. My bottle via a trade with rudy. Nice amber-gold colour with a small white head. Fantastic aroma of tropical fruit, sugar and spice. Flavour - wow! Definitely a lot of anise and coriander, some tasty yeast notes, and a hit of orange peel in the long, warm finish. Very, very nice.

Aroma of caramel malt, fruit, spices and yeast. Flavour of Belgian yest, plenty of malt, fruit, spices, some alcohol and a bitter finish. Medium bodied. Very enjoyable, I quite liked it.

May 4, 2007 Sampled at DLD 07 - Pours hazy orange / copper with a pillowy beige head. The aroma has orange, coriander, other citrus, nectar fruits and light eathiness. Medium / full body with sharp carbonation that doesn’t get in the way. The flavor has sharp fruit, but is fairly medicinal. It is quite sprizy and crisp for being so high in alcohol. The finish has lots of spice and is very clean. More Belgium earthiness comes out as it warms. A decent BSA.

May 4, 2007 Nice white head, with a strong citrus aroma. Taste a bit of spicyness when it first hits your palate. Could taste the alcohol in the finish
