Saison-like aroma: straw, lemon, grassiness. Pours a pale yellow, slightly cloudy, foamy white head. Smooth and dry. Prune flavours up front. Slight bitterness in the finish.

Aug 21, 2008 VERY strong blondish ale. I had this at the Beer Passion weekend in Antwerp and this beer forced me to take a break, it is easy to drink...very complex and refreshing, but also 11 percent.

Aug 11, 2008 Updated: Aug 13, 2008Poured a hazy golden color with a medium sized white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of skunk, cellar, citrus fruits, tangerine, apricot, spices, and hay. Taste of toffee, toast, grass, a bit more skunk, white pepper, some alcohol, and a dry, spritzy finish.

Aug 9, 2008 [1467-20080531] Bottle. Bit of sourdough bread aroma. Slightly hazy, light orange brown body with a medium foamy white head. Sweet boozy malt flavour has fairly heavy yeast. Medium body is quite boozy. Fair.

Jul 31, 2008 750ml bottle (Gallows Bird, Helsinki) shared by Mirjukka - thanks!
Subtle hoppy aroma. Succulent but very crisp palate - managed to trivially cut through everything else I’d had that evening, which was plenty. Re-invigorated my tastebuds too. It’s very hoppy, but not in the American way. It’s incredibly subtle and crisp. Made some very very good Danish beers at SOPP taste positively mediocre. Sublime, one of the most thrilling beer-drinking experiences I’ve ever had. Strength through subtlety and balance. Wonderful.
