turbothy (967) - Bonn, GERMANY - JAN 26, 2012
Gracious sample (well, an entire glass in fact) poured at the brewery. Clear golden, champagne look with a very solid head. The glass with the yeast was an attractive, opaque gold colour. Grassy malt aroma, somewhat muted by the dense head. Prickly, refreshing citrussy flavour. Very good.

teorn88 (741) - Rimini, ITALY - JAN 1, 2012
75cl bottle. Our bottle had no label directly on it and we even got to think there was a mistake. This bottle did not taste at all like the comments here or the comments of our friends who had this previously. This was malty, sugary and boozy. Too carbonated, by the way. Nothing like a saison. No bretts, no funk, no party.

BierBauch (784) - Cape Coral Waterfront Wonderland, Florida, USA - NOV 28, 2011
750ml Bottle. Really nice Saison. Golden and slightly cloudy with a beautiful white head. Really nice aromas of fruit, pineapple , yeasty Brett’s and spices and florals. Creamy mouthfeel lightly dry bitter finish. Nice use of hops. Flavor is straightforward Saison. Tangy, spicy and tart nice hop bitterness. Overall really nice one!

oldrtybastrd (3229) - Morlautern, Germany/Great Falls, Montana, USA - NOV 27, 2011
Pours a golden orange with a small white head. Aromas of citrus/grass. Flavor was a dry, yeasty tinge to it. Overall very drinkable.

jmm635 (627) - Havertown, Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 22, 2011
Poured straw colored with a big, fluffy white head. Excellent lacing. Very pretty beer. Sour apple upfront on the nose with wafts of citrus, spice, and barnyard funk. Very lively on the tongue but very drying. Quite enjoyable brew.

Allen (2469) - SWITZERLAND - NOV 5, 2011
Bottled 75cl. Hoppy, yeasty, bready. A very inviting saison which is quite true to the style. Balanced. A bit too sweet perhaps. Beautiful lacework. Very pleasant.

laiti (1689) - Tampere, FINLAND - OCT 7, 2011
75 cl bottle @ home, bottled 10.04.2010, BBE 10.04.2012
Aroma is has sour apple and earthy notes with some citrus-like tartness. Also some peachy wheat and yeast typical to saison. Flavour is a bit tart and bitter in a harsh way with citrus. Some saison-like wheat and yeast also. Foamy palate. Good, but the dry tartness in the flavour disturbs a bit.
