Commercial Description:
A full-bodied, golden blonde ale that raises a gorgeous dense white head. The soft, delicate flavor makes this very weighty brew surprisingly easy to drink. Truly a Queen among beers.

Hazy, hay colored. Sour aroma with a hint of cold tap water (chlorine?). Taste is not what I was expecting from the aroma. Light with a notable lack of sour notes. A part of the saison world and yet apart. In case you doubted, courtesy of Matta!

Shared from a 750 ml bottle. Brownish pour with malty sweet aromas. Dark fruit flavors and more molasses and malty sweet flavors. Pretty good.

Thanks to Dr. Bill (I believe) for bringing this to RBSG! Poured hazy darker brown with a short cap of off-white head. The aroma was dusty and very woody with some rich caramel, toffee, and darker fruits in there.. very well oxidized and going downhill, but still enjoyable. The flavor devolved even more dramatically with slightly sour cardboard and medium-skinned fruits at the core and a long-ish finish with fruity bitterness and some sours. Low carbonation and dry on the palate with an OK feel.. probably a shadow of its former self, but I’m grateful for the opportunity to try it!

750mL bottle, courtesy of jjpm74. Thanks, John! Pours a hazy, orange / tangerine color; off-white head with patchy, fine-bubbled lacing. Sweet caramel, Belgian sugars, and some oxidation in the aroma; slightly messy nose. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: chewy dry caramel, Belgian sugar, and toasted malts; touch of warming caramel coming through; a bit messy at this point. Medium finish: dry caramel, toasted malts, and a touch of lingering Belgian sugar; a bit light around the edges.

Pours copper with a decent white head. Smells of horseblankets, hay, straw, lysol. Tastes like a liquid cleaner with some hints of dry malt on the finish.
