kopher (296), New York, USA Sep 16, 2008 Pours dark murky straw, nice receding frothy white head.
Aroma is fizzy dirt and flowers, some citrus and a bit of dark fruit.
Thicker mouthfeel than expected, with a bit too much carbonation. Taste is mostly dirty citrus and grass. Tart, slightly dry finish.
bp (452), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 12, 2008 Bottle: pours a cloudy orangish-brown with a big frothy white head, funky, sour aroma, taste is slightly sour, ginger, pretty dry finish. Interesting. keepersj12 (774), Sicklerville, New Jersey, USA Sep 12, 2008 Great breadlike aroma with a hint of the funk they talk about in a good way. Flavor is complex. Sweet and sour with a dry hop finish. Alcohol is very well hidden. Haslinger (640), Syracuse, New York, USA Sep 7, 2008 750ml baled and caged. Great bready yeasty aroma. NIce smelling. The taste is pretty wacky a lot going on in this beer. It definitely lives up to its description. An interesting brew that I am glad to have tried but probably won’t buy again SCBrew (31), San Clemente, California, USA Sep 4, 2008 Pours a hazy gold with a dissolving white head. Definite farmhouse, horse hoof aroma, coupled with Saison spiciness.Flavor is balanced and spicey. I little tart fruitiness, possibly from the ginger. Medium bodied and very drinkable. punkrkr27 (608), Berkley, Michigan, USA Sep 2, 2008 Semi-hazy golden pour with a fizzy white head. Very acidic and sour with a dry, sweet, somewhat yeasty quality. Medium body with lots of carbonation. Really leans more towards a geuze than a delicate saison. bobaidan (358), Farmington, Connecticut, USA Aug 29, 2008 Pours golden with champagne like bubbles. Aroma is fruity with apple, citrus and bread. Mouthfeel is very lively with lots of carbonation. Flavor is drier than the nose would indicate. Citrus, spice and alcohol are the most up-fron with bread and some off, but not unpleasant flavors in the bakground. Another winner from Ommegang. tomthompson89 (1460), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Aug 27, 2008 hazy golden beer big foamy white head nose is sweet of fruits like pear and apple, some odd notes such as horse blanket as well. flavor is a nice malt character, slightly sweet, citrus bready notes , and a good bitter dryness.
