| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 15, 2008 750ml bottle labeled as Foret. Great balance among spiciness, sweetness and bitterness. Large, frothy white head that sticks around. Hazy dark yellow body. The aroma is spicy with notes of clove and pepper as well as sweet with pineapple. Hints of toasted grain and floral hops. The flavor is moderately sweet and moderately bitter. The sweetness drops off in the finish making room for a moderate bitterness. Medium body and very smooth texture. Lively carbonation. A real treat.

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | May 8, 2009 750 ml bottle, corked and caged, labeled as Foret, purchased at Royal Liquor in South Kansas City, Missouri. 2.008 stamped on the cork. Pour is a hazed cloudy orange yellow, with a very thick and pretty white head. Splotchy lacing lines the glass as the head slowly falls. Pretty. Aroma is big skunk initially, when that airs out, nice grainy, wheat, mineral and earthy yeastiness. Also a nice floral citrus tart sour smell going on. Nice nose. Taste is a nice soft grainy wheat, followed by a clove sweetness, then the citrus bite and finally a soft white pepper. More grassy mineral earthiness in the finish. Lots of spice and flavor in this one. Palate is medium, nice active carbonation and an earthy dry finish. Really nice. malrubius (1005), Valley Stream, New York, USA

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 7, 2008 A damn fine saison. Bottle from WLV. Pour is a golden saison color, nose is a kiss of skunk with some spicy fruitiness behind it. All hops in the nose, surprisingly. Taste is similar, though the skunk washes out and has a spicier, tangy taste, a little banana and surprisingly bitter. A great beer on a hot day. Excellent.
