2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 blanstuf (16) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 7, 2005
Very little smell but a whole lot of visible yeast. The taste didn’t please me. Give it a try yourself, everyone has different tastes.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 caledonian (367) - Surrey, British Columbia, CANADA - SEP 2, 2005
Cloudy pale yellow, thick fluffy white head. Mixed bag aroma, fairly well balanced. Slight tang. A little bit yeasty. Not too bad.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20 asheft (2270) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 28, 2005
[small bottle from an LCBO that did not say "biologique" on it anywhere]
Orange with a little brown and a foamy yellowish head that receded to a thin, lasting cover that formed nice lacing. Opaque from the yeast (my pour) with little flecks at the bottom of the glass. Orange lemon banana sweet malt--sweet and sour, but not a dry aroma. Woody, semi-dry taste with not a lot of grape flavour, but relatively vinous nonetheless. Gentle malt flavour that is accompanied by a subtle bitterness that is not hoppy. Light to medium body with high carbonation. Clean, but a bit sweet in the finish.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 IslandHaole (1083) - Yokosuka-Shi, Kanagawa-Ken, JAPAN - AUG 24, 2005
25 cl bottle: Exp date 09/2006-Like it’s Cousin Saison Moinette Biologique I had last night, this has the appearance of a jar of honey with a white head. Deep Golden, Orangey, cloudy. Very sweet smelling, melons and tangerines with yeast. More tangy tasting than sweet, a sweeter middle but a mettalic tinge that’s strong enough to detract from the fruit. Crisp dry finish. Not as good as the non Organic or the Moinette
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 CampbellWilson (533) - SCOTLAND - AUG 8, 2005
Bottle from Beers of Europe. Alongside the non-organic version this wasn’t just quite as good. Nice fruity aroma with the funky Dupont yeast character. Refreshing finish, not just as hoppy, mouthfeel slightly thinner. Still bloody good, though.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20 joergen (17722) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - AUG 3, 2005
Bottled.
Hazy orange coloured with a solid white head.
Fruity aroma with notes of spices and yeast, but not much aroma at all.
Fruity flavour of malts, caramel and hops.
Hoppy finish.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 jerohen (1875) - Bussum, NETHERLANDS - JUL 31, 2005
Hazy golden coloured, white head. Somewhat grainy and fruity aroma. Pleasant dry flavour, more bitter in the end. Nice example of the style.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 caesar (4029) - Bunnik/Utrecht, NETHERLANDS - JUL 23, 2005
Slightly hazy golden color, medium white head. Aroma of harsh grain, barnyard, some corn and yeast. Organic barnyard. It’s like a nice mixture of all kinds of grains. Bit sharp in palate. Very decent brew.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Papsoe (25129) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - JUL 9, 2005
(Bottle 25 cl) Very hazy, actually you may call this unclear, from all the yeasty sediment. Orangey golden with a lacing, white head. Very citric and dry with a light bitter finish. A nice quencher. 030299
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 dirkules (629) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JUN 30, 2005
lots of yeast in this golden brew with a huge frothy head. Wheaty, barnyard palate hints of apple and some other acidic fruits. Tasty. I can’t wait to try the saison now.
