Gold with a white head and webbed lacing. Barnyardy and gamey. Some horseblanket. Sour. Flavors are very mellow. Spicy. Fruity. Citrus fruits mostly. Sour palate. So nice.

sampled at RBSG 04 I know a lot of people who like this beer, but for me, it’s far too sour and funky. no thanks. BTW, this is about the 3rd time I’ve tried it. I’m rating it based on my reaction all 3 times.

Good golden cloudy, sharp fruits, acid, berries, apples, sweetness, little yeasty odor. Taste: peachy, very fruity, medium acidity, low bitterness, then more berries, tannic strain coming thru in the middle and end. Yeehaw. Fairly straight-froward: fruit and refereshment, little funk. Very accessible. Grainy note in finish. Tart. Good! Thanks, wunder!

Bottle. Really lovely nice and soft. Orange rind, spicey and delictae. Light, but it sure manages to cover most corners of the mouth, which is quite astonishing. Very nice.

Bottle. Medium sized white head and fine-medium sized bubbles that were mostly lasting. Very little carbonation, hazy and a golden hue. Malty, banana, clove, and spicy aroma. Acidic, sweet, spicy, clove flavor with a mild aftertaste. Mouthfeel was somewhat tingly and somewhat dry and watery. Medium bodied with fair lacing.

75 cL bottle, tulip glass. Average, creamy white head. Hazy, light yellow body. Bread and hay malt (M); flower and perfume hops (M); doughy yeast (L); banana, clove, pear aromas. Moderately sweet, lightly acidic flavor becomes a lightly sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter finish. Medium body, watery/oily texture, lively carbonation, building bitter finish. The bottom line is: very tasty!!! Tart and refreshing just like lemonade.

Bottled capped and corked with markings of 086/477044. The brew poured a large sized head of frothy medium sized white colored long lasting bubbles that left behind a good lacing. the body was a uncarbonated hazy dark yellow color. The aroma contained notes of fruity bananas apricots and malt. The mouth feel was tingly and sharp with a mild lingering fruity aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of malt mild delicate hops banana apricot dough and other flowery notes.

Large white head, good retention with a thin, broken lace. Hazy, pale straw color that has a glow when held up to the light. Musty, yeasty nose, co2, light maltiness and fruit hints. Light/medium body, well carbonated., co2 bite. Lightly bready malt flavors with plenty of flowery hops. Dry finish, tastey Saison.

HUGE thanks to jeffc666 for sharing this awesome beer! Pours a clouded amber with a tight frothy white head. Body has many suspended particle flecks in it. Aroma is spicy and sort of peppery. There’s an aroma of yeast and a light hint of fruit as well. Taste is spiced with a yeasty/wheaty body intermingling with more fruit, a faint hint of bubblegum, and definite spice. Sort of like a suped up witbier. The 8% alcohol is absolutely undetectable. Very soft and light mouthfeel, although there is some carbonation on the palate. Finish is more spice with the pepper coming out a bit more. Nice beer and an awesome way to hit 900!
