At Gambrinus on tap.Slightly hazed and clouded orange with only a small white ring around the glass.The uplifting and perfumey aromas hint at tangerine, clove, pepper, and banana.A very balanced flavour profile is full of juicy, fruity sweetness, like biting into a piece of fruit, and is balanced by a spicy floral bitterness with some mild citric tartness. Full bodied,very creamy, not seemingly typical of the style, but still very drinkable and enjoyable. A juicy and fresh fruity sweet finish with lingering spice. A very drinkable imperial saison. Well done FM and Adil!

[3786-20110625] Tap. Fresh apple pear flower hops aroma. Hazy, orange body with a long-lasting creamy off-white head. More apple flower yeast in the flavour with a fruity base. Medium body has a light sour tang. Interesting to sample. (8/3+/7/3/14) 3.5

2011-06-25. Hazy orange body with a nice white head. 3+ Spicy aroma, lightly fruity and yeasty, peppery spice notes. 7+ Flavour is similarly peppery, spice throughout, modest bitterness grows in the finish. 7+ Average plus palate. Pretty decent, bit sharp at times. This one deserves a longer visit to better appreciate the nuances, but I enjoyed my sample of it. Session Festival 2011, Toronto
