| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 8, 2008 Bottle, as ’Foret’, in San Francisco, 22nd Feb 2008. Hazy orange appearance. Fruit and wheat on the aroma and coriander and other spices add to the flavour. Reasonable palate, but not one of the best saisons I’ve had. TURDFERGUSON (1598), Carrboro, North Carolina, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 6, 2008 From the bottle at Milltown. Poured a bright golden with a good amount of sediment and a small white lace. Nose is bread, leather, citrus, and a little but butter. Flavor is unmistakable dupont, but still has some of that butter/diacetyl (?) lingering which deters my enjoyment. A nice beer nonetheless. I’ve had a few 750’s and had this on draught numerous times so I know this is an isolated experience. EricE (456), Fairfax, Virginia, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 1, 2008 Hazy deep orange pour with a thick white head. Spicy clove aroma with lots of citrus. Crisp start with lots of orange spiciness. Bitter aftertaste. Nice crisp and refreshing. gunhaver (1025), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 22, 2008 Updated: Jun 4, 2008Bottle. Pours a light caramel amber color, with a perfect half-inch of creamy white head. Some decent lacing. Aroma is leather, sweat, warming cider, hair. Real yeasty. Some very slight tartness in the flavor, rich apples, dough, unique yeast, straw and dirt. Spicy mouthfeel, tangy finish. Drinkable. Pretty good. Boutip (2346), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 18, 2008 Bottle: Poured a dirty yellow/beige color ale with a huge pure white foamy head with great retention and some lacing. Aroma of bready yeast with some nice floral Belgian malt notes but not as many hops as the vieille provision. Taste was a nice combination between some floral Belgian malt with some bready yeast which also provided a slightly spicy finish. Full body with some great carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Another great beer from this fine brewery.
