Nov 1, 2009 Tastes like white wine with light funk, some clove, and a nice mild hoppiness. Crisp, light, but very flavorful. Funky and easy drinking, incredible

Nov 1, 2009 Bottle from Keller’s IGA. Pours a nice hazy orange color with a big, fluffy off-white head that laces the glass. Aroma of yeast, ripe fruits, dry hops, orange and grapefruit citrus, bread, banana, floral notes, and alcohol. A lot going on, I needed to keep smelling this one and I picked up on something new every time. The flavor didn’t match the aroma, as it is more alcoholic, bitter, bready, and dry. Also notes of dried fruit, citrus fruits, and farmhouse funk. Medium bodied, somewhat grainy mouthfeel with a citrus bite. Dry, crisp finish. Very interesting, enjoyable beer. I’m going to have to try a couple more of these and revisit the rating and notes.

Oct 31, 2009 Big head, dry hops, bitter rustic belgian yeast. I closed my eyes and imagined myself drinking this on a Belgian farm with a shepard. Would pair well with dried meats and cheeses.

Oct 30, 2009 Bottle. Pours an exquisitely beautiful hazy orange. Huge, extremely fluffy off-white head doesn’t last but leaves plenty of lacing. Aroma, too, is of sweet oranges, banana and yeast. Medium-bodied ale, thick, slightly grainy mouth feel. Medium carbonation. Orange peel, bitter herbs and other orchard fruit are the domination flavours, the finish is very dry and hoppy.

Oct 30, 2009 33cl bottle as shown - abv is quoted as 6.2 %. This Belgian brew pours an exquisitely beautiful hazy orange. Huge, extremely fluffy off-white head doesn’t last but leaves plenty of lacing. Aroma, too, is of sweet oranges, banana and yeast. Very, very nice indeed. Medium-bodied ale, thick, slightly grainy mouth feel. Medium carbonation. Orange peel, bitter herbs and other orchard fruit are the domination flavours, the finish is very dry and hoppy. Another one of those finer Belgian ales that have more alcohol but aren’t sweet at all. This is beer! This is good beer! Could drink a wagon load of these. It feels like a weizen, not sure it is.

Oct 29, 2009 Taste was of cherry cough syrup. Was not a big fan at all. I did try one of the last bottles of 06. and it is 09, so i dont know if that played a factor.

Oct 29, 2009 Hazy light orange pour. Huge pillowy white head. Big tart musty nose with some brettyness and some savory herbal notes. Flavor starts very perfumey with a little rosemary and some light peach and then turns a little boozey and candi, finish is dry, some acid. Sublte and complex. Beer.

Oct 28, 2009 Bottle. Love this beer but haven’t had it for about 2 years. Pours a deep orange with some haziness. Large white head that hangs around for a while. Aromas are just as I remember. Some pine, citrus and biscuity aromas plus plenty of brett sourness. Flavours shows this sourness, almost reminds me of a geuze but it is not allowed to dominate. Some green apples and spices from the hops. Very dry on the finish. Great beer. Could definately have a couple.
