Bottle: Poured a golden color with a nice amount of head. The aroma was sweet and sour with hints of orange and lemon. The flavor was excellent. Sweet and spicy, slightly tart with a dry finish. Overall, another great beer I’ve had from this excellent brewer.

Pours a hazy pale gold with a two finger creamy light orange head. The nose is spicy, tart and citrusy, lemongrass, oak comes through a lot. The flavor is spicy, very tart citrus, lemongrass, oaky and vanilla. Nice spicy tart mouthfeel. Very nice Belgian ale.

The color was cloudy lemon yellow. The head was thin, creamy, and white. The aroma was tart, acidic, and lemon. The flavor was spice, tart, lemon, and earthy. The palate was slick. The finish was tart.

750 ml bottle. pours a golden color with a thick white head. nice peppery and spicy aroma. solid medium body with the pepper making the biggest presence up front and on the finish. Spice, a touch of hops and some sourness as well. The oak comes through just a bit. Very saison like.. and very easy to drink.

A truly fantastic looking beer in the glass with the milky white beer on top of a golden swirl of murky deliciousness. Lemon undertones in the aroma that came through in spades on the tongue washing down in a pleasantly refreshing way. Although this beer was a little bit pricey ($7+ for the litre), it is a wicked summer session beer that would NO DOUBT be awesome off the tap. The only downfall keeping it out of the 4 range was that it was a little bit simple, or one dimensional. I had just finished exercising before I poured this baby, and WOW it hit me like a sledghammer completely satifying all needs. Cheers

Bottle shared at Shenandoah Beer Throwdown, thanks whomever brought it. Pours cloudy, pale yellow, with a fizzy champagne-like head. Aroma is semi-yeasty, pepper. Flavor is sour with a touch of apple and spice.
