COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Lush and fruity, this "super saison" has been totally overhauled from the last two years. Previously, this beer has been lighter in color and ABV, but an increase in buckwheat honey has pushed the color into the dark amber range, providing a rich, layered complexity. The first sip leaves your mouth with a kiss of sweetness in an otherwise dry strong ale. 2006 version was Belgian Strong Ale and at 9%+ abv.

2008 version back to 7% abv, more in the traditional saison style - hazy golden in color.

GT2 (3953) - Washington DC, USA - JUN 8, 2011
750mL at RBSG 2011 in Philly. The nose on this is fried mozzarella sticks and cheddar cheese. Taste is headache inducing with old candies, orange pancake syrup, old sickly sweetness. Gross.
