Bottle, 75cl. A dense, finger-thick light beige head forms over a hazy, amber body. The aroma has a pleasant herbal touch, some yeasty hints, orange peel and a faint roasted note. The flavor is mostly fruity, with roasted hints, some herbal notes and a tad too much yeast. Medium body, quite dry, and with some bitterness in teh very end. Well, not my favorite beer, but quite drinkable. Guess it needs some food. 121110

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 Vignale (1364) - Malmö, SWEDEN - NOV 9, 2012
Brunorange vätska med viss jästfällning. Doft av belgisk jäst, röda vinbär, murriga kryddor. Tog fram en påse bockhornsklöver och jämförde dofterna, stämde precis. Smaken är murrig, jäst, kryddor, peppar, bockhornsklöver, blomvatten, ganska torr örtig beska. God och annorlunda kryddning som känns säsongsenlig men inte riktigt som jag vill att en saison skall smaka.

3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 PalCabral (91) - SWEDEN - NOV 1, 2012
(Expensive) Bottle (75cl) from Systembolaget. Pours red amber into the glass with a fine layer of foam that never goes. It is a very beautiful beer thanks to its’ red (autumny) look. Aroma is a nice blend of malty sweetness and spices, it drives up the thirst. The taste is a slight let down from the build up, it starts mild and sweet from the caramalts, but then comes the spice and bitterness that washes away the sweets and leave you with a dry mouth. It’s like a teaser, the first impression is that this is a thirst quencher but then halfways through you frown and your toungue gets all dry. Too bad. With all the nice pre-conditions, this beer could have been a lot better.

Bottle from Systembolaget, thanks to Martin for sharing this bottle with me.
Pours hazy amber with a minimal head.
Aroma is bready, sweet and malty, some spices.
Taste is a bit yeasty, bready, malty, has some spicyness as in belgian beers. Fenugreek is apparent at the end. An interesting touch!
This was interesting, never had a beer like this before. Pretty hard to define both aroma and taste. And that it was a saison? I had no idea.
