3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
750 ml. bottle. Opens with a gush (cleverly caught in a bowl) of off white foam, which gradually subsides into a meringue texture, with attractive lacing, over a cloudy, heavy with particles, light amber (SRM 7) body.....nose is floral, honey, lemon, bit of hop spice....taste is light sweet caramel malt to start, followed by floral tones, then hop bitterness, which lingers, finally a musty Belgian funk, rather dry throughout....mouth feel is light, carbonation after the initial gush is medium, and adds creaminess to the overall sensation. This is a remarkably light creation, with nice balance and a refreshing dry bitterness. BJCP 8/2/15/4/7

Pours a golden orange with a small white head. Aromas of citrus/ginger. Almost took an eye out with the cork. This thing packed a lot of pressure.

Thick eggshell white head. Unclear orange body. Dirty leafy aroma. Wild farmhouse flavor. Very light bitterness. Quite dry on the whole. Pretty tasty, even the girlfriend said she liked this one. Light-medium bodied. Quite yeasty. Carbonation on the high side, one of the few things I would change. That and I would prefer a little lighter on the alcohol. A pretty good saison; not available at home, but otherwise an everyday drinker. Picked up from Orlando’s Knightly Spirits per Alan’s recommendation.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
[2689-20100113] 1pt9.4floz bottle. Spicy apple barrel grains aroma. Murky, orange brown body with a quick foamy white head and lots of red sediment. Spicy fruity yeast flavour has a long crusty bread aftertaste. Medium body is fizzy. "Might be a little old" may explain things as the description calls for a pleasant mustiness, still has that weird fizziness though.
