750ml bottle. Pours a medium straw, with a white head. Spicy aroma, malt, straw, yeast, hops, citrus, slightly phenolic. Dry, medium body and bitterness, lively CO2. Spicy taste, malt, yeast, citrus, straw, quite well balanced. (2012-04-12)

Sampled on draft at the House of 1000 Beers this beer poured a yellow-gold color with a medium sized foamy white head that left excellent lacing. The aroma was funky and musty with a faint barnyard presence. The flavor was very dry, funky, musty and odd with a herbal presence and notes of egg white, barnyard and a touch of citrus. Medium length tangy, citric and musty finish. Medium body. Eh.

Light hazy, yellow colour, firm white head. Aroma of banana, malts, yeast, spelt, some light barnyard aromas. Fresh, light bitter hoppy flavour, light sour, overall quite light. Short, light bitter finish.
Nice, well made, but seems to lack some body.
(Draught @ ZBF ’12)

Goudblond en ruim in het schuim. Hooiachtige geur, wat citrus en gist. Prettig muffig. De spelt is heel nadrukkelijk in de smaak aanwezig en geeft deze saison een wat tarwebier-achtig mondgevoel. Ook in de smaak wat citrus. Weinig bitter, weinig hoppig. De afdronk is iets ijzerachtig en wat vlak. Aparte saison. Goeie dorstlesser.

Appare nel bicchiere con un vortice di sedimenti di lievito e un colore paglierino torbido. All’aroma molto forte il sentore di erba e paglia. Al gusto si presenta inizialmente dolce per poi finire in un sapore erbaceo e luppolato, che pulisce e rinfresca la bocca. In linea con le tradizioni delle saison, a cui da un ottima e originale interpretazione.

A golden cloudy beer with a crisp bubbly white head. The taste is crisp and clean with no linger. The flavors are on the front of the palate, but it seems hollow in a sense. Right when you expect to gets malts, instead it has really light wheat flavors and then its gone. Interesting.

Tap. Pours clear yellow with medium, fizzy white head; decent retention and spare lacing. Aroma is citrus fruit, banana, grassy hops, wheat, light spice and biscuit malt. Flavor is sweet malt forward, light hops, and heavy citrus esters; crisp finish. Light body and warmth with medium carbonation.

Tap at Max’s. Pours clear gold with a small, fizzy white head, medium-short retention with light lacing. Aroma is light biscuit malt, citrus notes, grassy hops and light fruity esters. Flavor is medium hops and bitterness, light malt and a dry finish. Light body and warmth with medium carbonation.

In bottle at home. A cloudy beer with a decent white head. Aroma of lemon, candy sugar, yeast and spelt. Spelt flavour is quite prominent with chewy caramel, lemon rind and marmalade. Moderate carbonation. Quite different.

really wish i could remember this more, my notes are almost useless, who cares what colour the sky is or who stole your place in the bathroom line.. . light gold amber .. medium foam .. yeast, light citrus, and light peppered earth .. . from what i can remember, nice .. . . Ahhh, look at that man, the great outdoors!!!!
