Bottle @ Armin’s post-Scott’s Summer Saison tasting. Thanks Armin! Clear golden appearance with a white head. Quite floral, a bit herbal tea, somewhat citrusy, lightly spicy aroma. Tangy, dry/bitter floral, grassy herbal, light citrusy flavor. Fairly dry with some stone fruity elements. Not bad.

tom10101 (209) - Quebec, CANADA - MAY 1, 2012
Bottle 341 ml. Clear golden with a small white head. Some lacing. Nose of belgian yeast, malt, citrus and spices. Taste of pepper at first, followed by strong notes of grapefruit and medium bitterness. Medium duration of aftertaste. Mouthfeel is dry and bitter. Overall, it’s a good representation of the style. Refreshing and drinkable. Pepper is a nice addition.

Bottle 341 ml. Well, this is a though one for me to rate. You see, this beer is mostly about the grapefruit aroma and taste, so if like me, you don’t like it, well you’re gonna have a hard time with this one. But still, that doesn’t keep me from appreciate the many good thing about this one. First, we have a nice appearance: clear golden with almost no white head and some lacing. Other than grapefruit, this beer has a lot of pepper in its aroma, which is very interesting. The taste is well balanced. So, overall, I give kind of a low rating to this one, but if you like grapefruit, well, I am pretty sure you are going to enjoy this one. Bouteille 341 ml. C’est assez difficile pour moi de noter cette bière. La raison en est que son arôme est principalement celle du pamplemousse, que je n’aime pas. Cela ne revient pas à dire qu’il s’agit d’une mauvaise bière, au contraire: belle robe dorée pâle, avec un léger "lacing"; arôme de poivre bien dosé qui se conjugue en pamplemousse dans un bel équilibre. Je donne donc à cette bière une note plutôt basse, mais je la recommande à tout amateur de saison qui aime l’arôme du pamplemousse.

Pours a hazy gold with a big fizzy white head and good lacing. Aroma is grain, slight fruit and grass. Taste is dry, grain, slight hop bitterness. Really nice saison.

dantheman278 (975) - SCOTLAND - APR 22, 2012
Bottle at cgarvie’s Danish Invasion extravaganza. Slightly hazy yellow, medium frothy white head fades to nothing. Big pungent nose, pronounced white pepper characteristic, hint of ginger even, some citrus zest too. Dry and sherbet-y, again big white pepper, some grapefruit zest, slightly cloying soapy bitter finish. Interesting but not totally successful.

Eructoblaster (2122) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - MAR 4, 2012
Bottle - 341ml. Beautiful cloudy golden body with a lasting white foamy/pillowy head. Fresh malty/hoppy aroma with coriander, yeasty, and subtle pepper hints. Its sharp hoppy taste carries pepper, coriander and citrusy notes. Ends with a long, dry bitter/spicy finish. Interesting and well done.

probstblueribbon (1967) - Nepean, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 21, 2011
341 ml bottle from Marche Omni, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass.

App.: Clear light golden with a frail white head. Aroma: Wow! Strong peppery, dank green herb, some Belgian yeast and light fruity esters, biscuit and a little floral honey, the spicy pepper note borders on chemical-like and starts to get a little offensive after a while. Palate: Medium-ish body, quite restrained effervescence. Flav.: Follows the nose with the odd, love-hate peppery spiciness, green peppercorns, cowering behind this are some nice Belgian notes and biscuit malt; dry with a wallop of bitterness and an oddly abrupt finish.

Yikes. This might be a good cooking beer for...game meats? Not something I’d drink again.
