75cL bottle courtesy of yinzer at 1/27/08 Pittsburgh gathering. Another gusher from Blaugies, but in a good way. Golden orange in color with big fluffy foam, great retention and lacing. Fairly bittersweet aroma, some hints of underlying tartness. Flavor is a bit more than a tad tart, very nice spicy yeast notes, maybe a bit too carbonated.

Jul 19, 2008 750 ml. Funky and tart with a fizzy mouthfeel and light texture — easy to drink because it is clean and brisk. Hazy, dark golden to amber body with a huge, fizzy, off-white head that sticks around. The aroma is musty barnyard and citrus along with some grassiness, grape, clove and unripened pear. The flavor is moderately acidic and moderately sweet. Lightly bitter in the finish, but an acidic tartness carries through from beginning to end. Leaves a lingering dry mouthfeel. Medium body with a watery texture. Lively carbonation. Classified as a tradtional ale, but drinks an awful lot like a funky saison. And as that, it is full of farmhouse flavors. Very nice.

Jul 14, 2008 Bottle, courtesy sebletitje. Pours a golden copper color, fluffy white head and tons of lacing. Spicy herbal aromas, some grassy wheat, fig. Yeasty flavors, dry wheat, fig and hops in the after-taste, which provides a sweet finish. Drinkable, dry, quite easy to finish.

Jul 3, 2008 Cloudy orange gold, towering frothy white head. Interesting aroma of cloves and yeast. Slightly must yeast, spicey (anise, marzipan), and lightly fruity. Very interesting, very drinkable, delicious.

Very sweet and pronounced aroma of figs. I am happy to see that they use actual fig juice and nt just artificial extract. This help set the beer apart from others and really enhance the mouthfeel. Also present the distinct Belgian yeast.

Jun 20, 2008 750 mL bottle purchased at Liquor Max in Loveland, CO. Pours sparkling amber with a large, frothy, off-white head, somewhat lasting with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (bread, grain, hay, straw), average hops (flowers, grass), average yeast (horse blanket, earth) with notes of fig, grapes, and cask. Medium bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, light sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.
