Bottle at ølbaren - cloudy yellow - white head. Yeasty, citrus, zesty, youghurt, spicy, fruity, milky, sweetness, sugar, white pepper. All the saison caracters, but it needs the crispness & freshness.

Bottle, 75cl corked. (From trade with the_epeeist) Pours a nice golden body, slightly hazy, topped by a big, white head. The aroma was a bit disappointing, not that it was bad, it was just not pronounced enough. There’s yeast, hops, cellar, and some sweetness, most the aromas one could wish for, but as said, too subtle. It has a nice, sweet and hoppy flavor with a good bitterness, resin, sugar and a farmhouse touch to it, finishing with a lasting bitterness. Nice, effervescent, medium to fullbodied mouthfeel. It’s 7.4% ABV is well hidden, making it a very drinkable beer, and it’s sure refreshing too. (071228)

Bottle.750ml. At first it too cold, but after a 5-6 celcius warming it was just right. Very fine Sasion it is not a Fantome but never the less very good.

750ml bottle. Hazy orange body with a huge white head. Aroma is fresh, fruity, citrus and yeast. Flavor is fruity, bitter, acidulous and really refreshing. What a great treat, I really think those guys at Southampton could run up as one of my favorites. Only sampled three beers so far, but they’re all great.

Bottle from Sam’s. Pours a hazy shade of piss yellow with a nice sized white head that lasts. Aroma is sweet and spicy, with a bit of lingering fruity tartness. Flavor is mild and fairly one-dimensional with a bit of citrus, clove, and sweet malt. Finish is dry with a lot carbonation throughout. Not the best aftertaste--some metal and cardboard. Not quite as complex or funky as the regular version but still a nice beer. No alcohol noted.

Pours a cloudy amber yellow color with a huge frothy white head. Aroma is doughy, sweet, a bit of lemon and cloves. Flavor is sugar sweet with some bread and grassy notes. Medium bodied, big carbonation. Reminded me more of a single than a farmhouse ale.

Bottle. Nice dark golden pour. This stuff smelled excellent, it smelled much stronger and darker than it actually is. Lots of spices, but it works, and in the end, it’s a fairly light and refreshing ale. Very good.
