33cl bottle. Pale amber with a nice off white head that leaves a thin layer on top. I’d call this a mild saison, probably a good introduction to the style. There is light grass, yeast, hay, dried whole coriander, bit of pepper. Moderate carbonation and a mild body, slightly sweet yet balanced, becomes slightly dry on the finish, crisp. Another beer that I should maybe seek our more often - quite enjoyable.

UPDATED: MAR 9, 2013 I’m partial to saisons but this was an excellent pour. LIght hazy golden color with a fruity aroma. Looking forward to having a second one.

750 ml bottle bought @ beerplanet.be. Pours hazy pale golden with a rather big frothy white head that slowly dissipates while leaving some sticky trace and lacing on the glass. Smell is tiny fruity, tiny malty and tiny funky with crackers, cereal, hay, lemon zest, white grapes, dried crushed basil, wood, dry soil, white pepper and hints of barnyard, lemon juice and band aids. Taste is tiny bitter, tiny malty, slightly herbal, tiny tart and slightly funky with crackers, dry wood, cereal, cucumber, white grapes, dry soil, hay, white pepper, dried powdered coriander, lemon zest, barnyard and lemon balm. Mouthfeel is dry, tiny spicy astringent and light to medium bodied. Finish is tiny bitter, dry and tiny tart with crackers, lemon zest, grape skins, dry soil, hay and lemon balm. Solid...

Juts awesome, nice aftertaste nce aroma and all the cloudy features. Excellent and refreshing. Nice character there too.

33cl bottle from Cotteridge Wines.Poured a golden colour with some haze and a good sized frothy white head.Yeast,malt,spices and apple aroma.Hay barn smells too and dust in there.Flavours of all of these and a little pepper as well.Altogether a very enjoyable drink.

Large rocky head which settles out quickly. Reddish blonde color and appropriately hazy. Smells like a dusty hay barn. Peppery and bitter with a dash of bret. Long dry, bitter finish. A classic Saison.
