On draft at The Happy Gnome. Gold in colour with a bit of haze and strong carbonation. Aromas are of pale and pilsner malts, spicy yeast, floral and herbal hops, and a bint of apricot. More pilsner malt in the mouth, along with notes of lemon, flowers, and more earthy hops. Drying, but not quite as bone dry as some saisons. Firm bitterness with a lingering finish. Classy stuff.

Dec 31, 2009 750, corked and baled. Pours a crystal clear medium amber with a towering, frothy, sudsy platinum blond head. Lots of eggy lacing everywhere you look. Mild peppery lemony nose with some lemongrass layered in. Fizzy, somewhat creamy medium body. Lemons, hay, bits of floral, and some white pepper on the mid-palate. Not bad at all, but lacks the boldness and distinction of a Dupont by a fair margin.

Dec 31, 2009 A Mes rate. Bottle at home. Thanks to our Weasel.
Hazy amber gold with a thin white head. A clean and drinkable saison. Plenty of yeast and lemon with a good chalky dryness. Some tropical stuff in the finish. Interesting and drinkable but not amazing. A clear St Feuillien stamp throughout. Decent, just a little sickly.

Dec 24, 2009 Draft at Cheeky Monk - cloudy peach-colored beer, with an impressive, frothy head - quite an earthy beer indeed, with a lot of cellared, cobweb notes - not as dry as a lot of saisons - actually, there is quite a bit of honey sweetness - this one sits somewhere in between saison and biere de garde - apricot and other fruity notes - toasted grains - wheaty tang - spicy, almost peppery finish, with lingering sweetness behind it - quite tasty, actually.

Dec 6, 2009 On Tap @ The Trappist. Excellent Saison - without funk! Pours a cloudy orange with white head that goes away. Notes of orange peel and lemongrass. Very dry and fruity - if you can believe that.
