Sep 18, 2009 Pours a clear transparent honey with a decent amount of head. Nose is very fruity, almost skunky or stinky. Very crisp, light taste that leans on the carbonation. Hides the alcohol very well - very refreshing, but feels very much like a blank canvas that could have added an extra layer of flavoring to really make it shine. Finishes beautifully but misses something at the beginning.

Sep 11, 2009 Bomber. Sweet amlts with grapefruit and lemon citrus in the nose, dry herbal note with coriander and wheat, light pepper. Pours a pale yellow-orange with a large creamy white head. Taste is lightly tart and puckering, pale malt with strong lemon and lighter pepper. Perfume and yeast, strong carbonation to be seen but not overbearingly felt. Very dry and spicy, and larger gulps are nearing intense! Vanilla and pretty well-hidden alcohol. Dry and only lightly bitter. Medium body and reminds of freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice. Accessible and fun.

Sep 11, 2009 22 oz – Perfect Pour. Lightly hazed gold, foamy white head. Soft rustic grassy-honey and peppery citric aromas right lighter undercurrents of cheddar cheese bread and manure. Light sweet funked hay and grass flavors balance well on further notes of peppered citrus. Rounds out well with finishing hop bitterness. Medium bodied, prickly carbonation, drying, bittersweet finish. A nice rendition, but not in the same class as a Saison Dupont…

Sep 10, 2009 Pours a slightly hay light golden orange color with light golden yellow hues when held to a light source and a 1.5 finger frothy white head. Visible carbonation bubbling up the chalice.
Earthy aroma with a nice peppery spice character. Light golden fruit notes coming from the Belgian yeast compliment the bread and citrus peel notes as well as some subtle earthy hops.
Very carbonated up front with a creamy, medium body. Lots of earthy notes, hop bitterness, light crisp fruit, citrus peel, lemon zest, spicy pepper and strong alcohol astringency. Slightly dry finish.
