swirl (267), collingswood, New Jersey, USA Mar 30, 2005 It pours beautifully with a loose frothy head. Its cloudy golden color is backed by aromas of honey and citrus. The taste has a sharp bite coating the tongue in even more honey. A great tasting beer that I thoroughly enjoyed. Possibly my favorite Belgium ale. nicplemel (19), Seattle, Washington, USA Mar 28, 2005 This was the second saison I ever had. I enjoy the fact that it’s 100% organic, I don’t really believe it makes it taste better or worse but it’s still pretty cool. This had a great strong scent right from the bottle. It poured a nice golden color with a VERY fluffy head which stuck around a good amount of time. The flavor was fruity but with a peppery taste as well, I really liked that. I expected this to be a bit more fizzy (the only reason the palate score is lower). Over all I was very happy with this recomendation. JayBaxter (386), Greater Manchester, Greater Manchester, England Mar 27, 2005 Updated: Apr 4, 2009Hazy orange colour with a sweet alcoholic aroma and fluffy white head withn plenty of lacing.Doesnt taste as strong in alcohol as it smells,nice fruity beer with a faint bitter aftertaste.Good, I could drink a couple of these. Styles (1653), Lincoln Park, Michigan, USA Mar 9, 2005 Bottle courtesy of Matta. Poured a hazy dark yellow color with a white frothy head that fades to film fast. Aroma is fruity sour vinegar. Flavor is the same with a yeasty character to it. Decent overall and would score better if I could get past the vinegar. willblake (2160), Belcamp, Maryland, USA Feb 25, 2005 02.17.05 750ml bottle, 2.003 Orangish-golden in color with massive, brainy, off-white head. Sharp aromas of grass, lemon rind, oregano, herbs, sourdough loaf. Big hop bite on flavor; and bit leafy, reminds of the water from a vase of cut flowers, crisp pear, rain collected from tree bark, mildly funky. I love this style and really enjoyed this beer. Finish could be drier to be more stylish, but it’s very drinkable as it is. mookie (43), Tacoland, Texas, USA Feb 17, 2005 organic is the bonus. lightstruck (skunk) aroma disappears rapidly. cloudy with nice foam like shaving cream. this saison is much like the other dupont saison. refreshing, tart, fruity, fizzy, rustic, bready, soft, frothy and well balanced with bitterness. another work of art from the farmhouse. DrGonzo (625), Somerville, Massachusetts, USA Feb 15, 2005 Bright orange color, thick head and lacing. Potent aroma, hoppy, funk, with peppercorns and honey-wheat. Spocy medium sized body, vanilla, sweet at first but with a dry finish, soothing honey at times as well. For a saison, low on the apple index; feels a lot like a tripel. Solid all around. BennyTicklez (621), USA Feb 5, 2005 Pours yellow/golden with a fluffy white head. Aroma is strong of lemon and spice. Taste resembles saisons from Fantome, barnyard, slight citrus, big spice. Decent stuff.
