Serve in Tulip

bottle recommended by Scott at Chuck’s: pours hazy, pale golden. minimal, quickly fading white head. Nose is tangerine, peach, citrus, cotton candy and sour apples. more floral aspects, sour apple tartness, white grapes, funk, little bit of hay. Aptly named " Nectar of the Gods" as this is nectar for sure. finish is sour, dry and quite long. so complex and unique. Dad thought it was the best Saison he’s ever had...

750 ml capped and corked bottle, best before the end of January 2013. Served in a Unibroue tulip, the beer pours a hazy golden/orange color with about an inch white head. Head retention and lacing are both good. The aroma is pretty nice, it smells like citrus fruits, hay, earthy funk, apples, and some apricots. It tastes like apples (both sweet and tart ones), citrus, pears, white grapes, peppery spice, and a bit of funk and hay. Mouthfeel/body is medium, with moderate carbonation. It’s smooth and easy to drink. I made the mistake of passing up this beer in the past, so I knew when I finally came across it again the other day that I had to buy it. I certainly wasn’t disappointed, this is a pretty good brew! $13.99 a bottle.

Pours headless hazy yellop/orange. Lemon citrus nose with caramel. Fruit, lots of fruit - orange, cherry, lemon, mildly sour but sublimely sweet. Nice after. Not what I expected, but very good.

trulip. small white head with lots of carbonation, cloudy, and a pineapple color to the body. the aroma is spicy, citrusy, sour apple, and under ripe pineapple. It taste sour and yeasty a strong yeast, also spicy very limon like, very citrusy. I twist at every sip, sticky and very carbonated. Overall and interesting saison differently than the rest. Note: a most drink

75cl courtesy of sebletitje, thanks man! It pours hazy opaque gold with copper hues and it kind of looks like grapefruit juice supporting a thin white head. The modest aroma offers up apricots, peaches and green apples as well as yeasty tartness and a bit of spice accented meadow. The taste begins with modest apricot and peach skin tartness that’s covered with a thin layer of malt sweetness. It stays fruity with light skinned fruits to about midway where a modest yeasty tartness grows and is intertwined with spicy yeastiness. There is a mild amount of hay and flowery wet meadow off in the background. Great refreshing easy drinking brew.

Pours a golden orange with a small white head. Aromas of citrus/grass. Flavor was a dry, yeasty tinge to it. Overall very drinkable.
