3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours deep yellow. In the nose massive fruits banana, peach lychee, disappeared as the beer adapted to the room temperature. In the mouth round and full body yet countered with nice acidity.

Consumed on New Year’s Day - 01.01.2010
A: Pours a hazy, pale apricot with a nice bone white head and plenty of sticky lacing.
S: Some initial horse blanket and funk, with a few citrus notes in the background. There’s also a little bit of an apple cider smell. Highly aromatic and quite inviting.
T: A bit more muted than the nose, but all of those flavors come back. The brett is clearly present along with some citrus and cider notes. A bit of lemon and some white peach. Slightly sweet as well.
M: Quite dry, yet keeps me salivating. Nice and acidic, but balanced by a bit of sweetness and the perfect level of sourness.
D: Highly drinkable. Quite complex and always inviting. Definitely one of the best saisons that I’ve come across.

4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours murky gold with some particulates moving about and a frothy but quickly fading pale head. Nose is very similar to a framboise lambic. Lots of bright citrus flavors like grapefruit and lemon. Sour, but not overly so, and the heat is felt rather than tasted. Not what I tend to think a saison is like, but that didnt stop me from thoroughly enjoying it. Thanks bro!
3.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle shared side by side with Saison Du Pont at the BA gathering. This one won hands down and the only thing the Du Pont had it on was appearance. Aroma of fresh juicy fruit mainly peach and apricot. The flavor was similar but no quite as juicy fruity as the aroma, tropical fruits dominate with peach and apricot ruling along with some slight bready notes.Thinner bodied which seems about right for this style with average to strong carbonation. Really nice and a total eye opener when drank side by side with the Du Pont.

A just-about perfect saison! Creamy with just the right amount of fizz - no problem finishing the whole bottle - DO OVER!

Bottle (75 cl) from Etre Gourmet. Hazy golden with small white head. Tropical fruits dominate the aroma, with notes of honey and apples. Wonderful mild acidity with a soft bitterness. Delicious.

Shared Bottle courtesy of Tim and Rachel. Pours a cloudy yellow, moderate head. Taste is smooth and wet, a little sweet and a little citrus hint. This is absolutely delicious.
4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Färgen är härlig apelsingul, vätskan är grumlig, skummet är precis lagom stort och den doftar härlig frisk sommar, syrliga äpplen och appelsin.
Kolsyran är mycket diskret och smaken är smått fantastisk med ganska tydliga inslag av persika/nektarin, citrus och även vindruvor. Den har en lite lätt syrlig belgisk karaktär som bara ligger där som ett komplement till den fruktiga smaken. Eftersmaken är fruktig, sitter i länge och lätt syrlig. Den allra bästa saisonen hittills.
