Orange-yellow color, small white head. Orange peels, grains, dry nose. Fruity, orange-mango flavor, spicey finish. Not so sweet than American saison, closer to "real" Belgian ales. Radek Kliber (3943), Toronto (Can) Krotoszyn (Pol), Ontario, Canada

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 30, 2009 Aroma of exotic fruit, and hum bugs, opaque orange, pours a tiny off-white head.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 24, 2008 Verre de 12 oz, à la brasserie de Jonquière. Arômes terreux et de cuir de Brettanomycètes, des notes d orange et de blé sont également présentes. Robe orangée et trouble, légère mousse. Moyennement ronde en bouche, la levure saison et une touche de levure sauvage crée une bière très désaltérante et moyennement acide. Des notes orangées et le blé sont aussi remarquées et l alcool crée un côté légèrement réchauffant en arrière-goût. Une surprenante et excellente saison funky de la Voie Maltée.
