COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Ale brewed with fig juice. A traditional style named for John Darby, preacher of temperance whose parishioners were oddly moved by a "soft drink" they insisted was just fig juice...

The aroma is fruity with yeast, paper, malt, basement, and glue. The appearance is golden amber with a nice head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thin. Overall it’s not that great.

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.

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.

DuffMan (4242) - the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, CANADA - 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.

Blonde/orange pour. 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.
