Drank on day 2 of the 2010 Mondial de la Bière. Misty honey blonde, average head. Aroma of grass and spice dry and malty, with notes of citrus juice. Explosion of medium dry grass, hints of grapefruit juice, aftertaste sour but which become dry. Wah, like we needed another good Quebec made saison!

(50 cl) Une robe bien dorée qui se voile avec finesse. Une tête mousseuse impeccable. De gros morceaux qui se collent à la paroi du verre. Un nez qui reconnaît une base maltée mielleuse à travers une explosion de fruits ensoleillés. Des raisins et des pêches qui se mêlent à des agrumes. Une certaine rusticité qui est perceptible mais qui plie l’échine devant le juteux amalgame. Des fleurs piquantes et une naissance de notes épicées. Les saveurs sont très proches des arômes. Il y a encore beaucoup de fruits. Une tornade tropicale. Le côté épicé s’affirme ici davantage. Mes papilles retiennent de la coriandre. De petites touches aigrelettes et surettes évoluent dans le meilleur des sens. Les céréales sont douces et dévoilent un côté pils que j’affectionne particulièrement. En bouche, le liquide développe une rondeur certaine. Le pétillement est maîtrisé et efficace. La texture est légèrement huileuse. La finale combine les effets de la levure et des houblons. Une autre solide proposition du Trou du Diable.

On tap at Vermont Brewfest 2010. Pours a hazy orange with a nicely sized white head. Aroma is delicate and enticing, with good notes of yeast, spice, and nectarine. Flavor is fantastic-- apricot and peach come through profoundly, with dough and coriander providing an excellent backdrop. Palate holds high effervescence that suits the beer beautifully, and finishes crisp and clean. Very good saison.

4oz from tap at Mondial 2010
Appearance : Hazy yellow, foamy.head. Nice looking.
Aroma : Crisp hops, yeasty esters. Nicely fruity and a little bit tart.
Taste : A bit mineral. Yeasty and crisp. Quite fruity. Finish is hoppy and yeasty.
Overall : This one consistently got better as I was drinking it. I don’t know if its me getting used to some flavour or is it because it warmed up. I liked the light tartness. Pretty crisp and very fruity. A very nice Saison.

Clear golden colour with a large frothy white head. Herb spice aroma. Surprisingly smooth texture with a spice clove flavour. Tangy citrus finish.

Several 5 oz pours at brewers fest in Shawinigan. Light gold pour with fluffy white head. Aroma is a beautiful mix of stonefruits, honey, some herbs - coriander and spicy yeast. Taste is just sweet enough with a dry, refreshing finish just like a saison should be. Palate is lively with carbonation and quite enjoyable. The best beer of the night.

Sampled at the 2010 VT Brewers Fest - Poured a hazy orange amber in color with a medium white head. Aroma is fruity (peach, pear?) with plenty of spicy yeast. Flavor is also pretty fruity... the stone fruits dominate... with the spicy yeast and a mild sourness from the Brett. One of the better Saisons that I have had lately.

UPDATED: JUN 20, 2012 En fût à l’Oktorberfest des Québécois. En fût au Mondial à Montréal. 7%. Couleur jaune ambrée, arôme de levure et agrumes. En bouche, beaucoup plus de houblon que je pensais avec des effluves d’agrumes. Très bonne.
