Jun 17, 2008 I had this one in the cellar for a while, it was due to drink! 100 barrel series.
Very Saison-esque golden/peachy with a pearly white head that didn’t last too long, but I’ll blame that on the fact that it’s a little aged.
Pickled ginger and peppermint aromas, then 3Vandoo nailed a good one: it smelled like Tiger Balm. Some orange rinds as well. More complex than I expected! Not particularly yeasty, but interesting nonetheless.
Still quite prickly on the tongue after all the time waiting patiently in my cellar, the yeast was a bit more present in the flavor, with a mild hop finish that made it quite refreshing, as a good saison should be. Well done!

May 24, 2007 Bottle. Cloudy golden color, with a thin white head. Floral aroma, with some orange peel, pepper, earth and spice. Flavor dominated by pepper and herbs, with some malt in the background. too heavy on the spice.
