Bottle (0,75 l) Golden, cloudy, stable, almost creamy off-white head; fruity-wheaty nose (oranges) with a tinge of yeast and turpentine; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied, a bit fizzy; a light tartness shows up in the sweetish-fruity finish. Not a necessary summer-beer............

(75cl bottle) Cloudy, pale golden colour with a medium-sized, slightly off-white frothy head. Dusty, slightly sweet and grainy malty nose with a shy touch of citrus. Sweet and slightly bitter flavour, light to medium bodied, slightly fizzy mouthfeel. Yeasty, soft grainy, moderately fruity (citrus) taste, quite dry, yeasty- and slightly hop bitter finish. Not very balanced but surely refreshing in the summer (12.03.08).

Comments: A ridiculously bland, lifeless saison with little texture nor hops, but lots of spicy yeast. Also headless which is something I quite dislike and overly phenolic - reaching medicinal grandeur.

Bottle. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma is acid, fruit, yeast. flavour is fruit, yeast, hay, malt., spices. Nice beer.

Bottle, 75cl corked. Golden, almost clear, with a white diminishing head. The nose has some acidity, spicyness, grass and hay. The flavor is much the same, but is more on the malty side. Medium body. Really pleasant in the hot summer evening and hot, smoked salmon to eat. (070608)
