Magjayran (1379), Durham, North Carolina, USA Jan 23, 2006 Rating done with the Ratebeer tasting sheet. 750 mL bottle. Aroma reminded me of hay, grass, lemon, soap, and black pepper. Hazy yellow color with a huge rocky white head. Good lacing. Moderately bitter flavor with hints of lemons and grass with a sweet and spicey finish. Lively carbonation with a dry texture. Very nice. jon112981 (327), Chevy Chase, Maryland, USA Jan 14, 2006 Bottle. A cloudy unfiltered pour. Yellowish color. Very bubbly and sweet. Finish is short but good. ezra456 (39), Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA Jan 14, 2006 poured a very nice hay color with a very nice fluffy head that didn’t dissipate too quickly. nose consisted of citrus, yeast, spices, and a little clove. exceptional taste. consisted of citrus, spices (clove), coriander, and some obvious yeasty undertones. great job! brentfeesh (1030), Gadsden, Alabama, USA Jan 9, 2006 Picked this up for half price at a bottle shop in Mansfield, Ohio (I’ll list the place after I get an address). Pours straw colored with a big white head. Hazy, but good looking. Lightly sweet aroma, fresh grain, hay, lemon, crisp and spring like. The flavor has lemon peal, fresh green grains, pepper, rose hips. Light and fresh but not really my cup of tea. My wife really liked it but there was too much pepper and flowers for me. Medium round body. radiomgb (1920), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Jan 2, 2006 Bottle shared by <a

The aroma was very floral, yeasty, some bubblegum and lots of lemons. The flavour was yeasty, musty, lots of citrus (lemons mainly), floral, lightly sour. Bitter mouthfeel, medium body, high carbonation. Finishes with a strong lingering bitterness. Very nice.

Definitely better overall and more complex then the regular Saison Dupont. I would have a hard time trying to described the aroma, as it was sooo complex… suffice it to say that I agree with anyone who rated this before, as it may all be true because of the great complexity of the aroma. Floral, fruity, spicy. Everything’s in there!
Taste is citrus, banana/yeast, woody, barnyard (being that little something you find in the aftertaste of most sour ale) … well, complex too!
In deed, the palate is impressive too. medium body, oily texture, average/soft carbonation, long flowerish (but not hoppy!) finish.. NoiZe (1288), Mooi Zeist, Netherlands Dec 11, 2005 Nice aroma and a good appearance. Orange/red coloured. Flavor has got hints of appel and other fruits. Nice, but a bit too much on the sour side for me. Retorp (2154), Tampa, Florida, USA Dec 8, 2005 Aroma is very spicy with lots of floral notes and a good bit of nose tickling sprtiziness. Cloudy yellow in color with a gorgeous , fluffy white head. Citrus, bannana, whipped cream and a lot of yeast. Very tasty though and has a comforting creaminess in the mouth.
