Mar 12, 2006 (750ml bottle) Particulate-filled, cloudy amber body with white head that leaves nice lacing. Aroma is not very strong, medium sweet, herbal/grassy, banana, melon, yeast/cheese, light dusky. Taste is medium sweet, melon, herbal, cream, light banana. Creamy medium body with alcohol fairly well hidden.

Mar 11, 2006 Back to crazy. Cloudy orange body with a large head. Aroma is a mess with notes of lighter fruits, overripened grapefruity hops, smoke from rotton wood, peppers and light spices. The flavor is the same, and I have no idea how this qualifies as a saison but whatever. The smoke flavor I am getting is almost a flat or bad one, so I used a rotton wood reference. It’s definitely not hickory roasted smoke or something that sounds equally attractive. The grapefruity hops came off in a similar way. Whether this beer was sitting for too long or this was intended, I have no idea... it was certainly interesting.

Mar 3, 2006 Very deep, dark brown in appearance. If you did a blind taste test between this & any other English bitter, you’d be hard-pressed to tell that this was indeed a Belgian brew.
Very (extremely?) different from any other Belgian beer I’ve tasted. It was a big surprise, & I’d definitely recommend it.

Mar 1, 2006 6th Dutch Ratebeer Gathering. Aroma is lactic, hoppy and floral. Cloudy, orange coloured with a medium head. Taste is very weird. Sourish, flowery, yeasty, lactic, quite hopbitter, spicy. What a bunch of tast together, i agree with the bierkoning; over the top.

Feb 27, 2006 Spicy aroma, but it looks like this beer has been brewed next to a manure heap. Very bitter and spicy flavor (sweet wood, pepper, woody), in fact too spicy. Hopflavors which I like in a good beer have been almost totally destroyed. Somewhat lactic, cheesy, some brett?? Totally over the top.

Feb 27, 2006 Bottled, 6th DRG. Barnyard aroma with strong hops, grass and herbs. Cloudy, orange/amber color, off-white head, good lace. Light sweet, malty, lots and lots of hops, too much actually, complex, very bitter and dry.
