Aug 21, 2008 Copper coloured body with a thick slightly off-white head - very nice! Aroma of strong malt, belgian yeast, fresh hops and a lot of spice and alcohol. Medium-bodied; Strong yeastie flavours with curacao and wheat most noticeable. Aftertaste shows some nice sugar coupled with a dry hoppy finish and plenty of alcohol. Overall, a nice hoppy and flavourful beer - definitely worth trying. I sampled this 75 cL bottle purchased on 12-July-2008 from Oliver’s Beverage in Albany, New York, sampled on 20-August-2008 at home in Washington, D.C.

Aug 19, 2008 Cloudy, hazy amber. Smell of lemons, malt, clove, cinnamon, caramel, flowers, ginger, yeast, pepper and citrus. Tastes the same. Crisp and refreshing. Good but I wouldn’t pay $11 for it.

Aug 16, 2008 After unscrewing the bottle I quickly experienced the aroma while the cork exploded off the bottle unexpectedly and brew bubbled off onto the counter. Sniffing the spill, a strong spicy pear smell with wheat. Finally getting to pour, the cloudy burnt orange tan color under a fizzy white head. I really like the sweet malty and spicy tang of the aftertaste.

Aug 14, 2008 Pours hazy golden, full white head with good retention and nice lacing. Aroma is fruity and spicy with notes of wood and a hint of must or barnyard. Flavor is surprisingly sweet, an almost apple juice-like flavor dominates at first, developing Brett and hops on the finish. Mouthfeel is relatively rich with fair carbo. I would have liked something a little dryer for a Saison, this was on the sweet side. Interesting though.

Aug 12, 2008 Pours a dark, cloudy orangeish colour with a large white head with great retention. Masterpiece lacing left on the glass, aroma is wheaty, tart and full of fresh fruit. Fresh off the vine green grapes, tart with lively citrus impression. Spice evident right off the bat, Quick, tight hoppy bite on your palate. Finish is strong of pepper, cloves and ginger.

Aug 12, 2008 pours a nice cloudy gold with a big head that dissipates pretty quick like. Very spicy! It has a almost like liquorice taste and after you swallow it you get a nice citrus aftertaste. Nice and hoppy like I enjoy. Maybe a few too many extra flavors for me but good stuff.

Aug 12, 2008 A cloudy golden yellow with a thick head. Lovely color, especially for style. Smell is floral with some hay and a little fruity sweetness as well. Pears, I think. Flavor is less distinct. There is some herbs and spice. Grapes. Kinda has a white wine thing going on. Bubbly finish. This one is quite pleasant.

Aug 10, 2008 Puffy white head and hazy gold color. Perfume like aroma with apricot and herbs. Dry astringent quality with apricot, wood, floral notes and sour apple. Nice lingering finish. Refreshing.
