Hammy78 (441) - Dundas, Ontario, CANADA - FEB 5, 2012
Bottle purchased at Premier Gourmet in Buffalo New York. Pours a bubbly dark orange/ copper colour. No real head except for a wispy layer in the middle of the chalice, no lacing either. Smells of Belgian yeast, grape/ wine hot spices like pepper. Tastes sweet, spicy. Belgian yeast, malts, a little bitter. A lot of different flavors going on with this one, there’s a bite to it..

gramity (520) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - JAN 10, 2012
Almost clear amber appearance. Slowly fading off-white foam. Sappy orange to the nose. Blended flavour of succulent hops and sweet caramel malts. A solid bitter finish. Quite heavy to drink, but nonetheless, very likeable and refreshing

gunnar (2281) - Sandnes, NORWAY - JAN 5, 2012
On tap at Henrik, Bergen. Pours hazy amber with a small white head. Funky yeasty aroma, belgian that is. Taste reminds me of a good saison, with brett and farmyard up front, spicy, resiny and fruity hops as well comes thru towards the end. Good beer.

TheJester (1230) - Peterborough, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 26, 2011
750 mL bottle. (bb 030215). Cloudy brown with a really solid off-white head. The aroma is floral, wild, with a touch of booze. Some malt in there too, but the hops dominate. The taste is a nice balance of hops and the yeast, with neither overpowering the other. The brett adds an interesting touch. Different, in a good way.
