Hazy nectarine yellow. Medium frothy white head. Fruity yeasty aroma. Light bitterness. Very dry yeasty flavor, some peachy fruit effects. Not a stand out saison, I liked La Moneuse better, but this isn’t bad.

Bottle from Frank Smith’s. Pours clear medium gold with huge fluffy white head and a solid cork pop. Nose is grainy pale spelt, some florals and hopcitrus. Tastes champagny, citric, a bit tart and floral, with late hops and a somewhat bitter finish. Not terribly complex.

Draught at ZBF 2010.
Hazy yellow colour with longlasting, creamy head. Light funky aroma, along with a touch off sulphur. Rounded mouthfeel, with a sweet feel to it. Light bodied and pale malty. Low spiciness, if any. Pretty low on everything but tasty and balanced. Wheat is noted, that gives a funky tartness. It’s flowery hoppy but low in bitterness.
