Smells of citrus, lime and yeast, a bit of musk but an overall flowery lightness. Smells great when cold. Frothy light thin body with soft carbonation. Tastes a bit of cloves and butter with light bitter grassy finish. Cold its very nice and refreshing but as it warms it became a bit borring.

750ml bottle. Pours a hazy pale gold with a one finger head of fine white bubbles. The nose is herbal, with some floral notes, faint anice, pink bubblegum, yeast, black pepper, malt notes. It smells great. The taste is dry, and bitter up front with some citrus, yeast, hard water minerality, black pepper, finishing bitter with some citrus, and spice. There are a lot of layers here, and they’re all very subtle. This is just full on solid. A beautiful beer.

330ml bottle from Beer Hawk - A clear amber to gold body, with a white frothy head. The body hazes into a little orange cloud with the last drops of sediment to give a nice tempting look to it. The nose is bananas, cloves, a bit of coriander, giving an overall mustiness that makes the whole thing smell "rustic". The mouthfeel is rich and full, well rounded and frothy at the same time. Finally the taste, just a swirl releases all sorts of complex lightly sour, yet medium bitterness, with a long finish that drags you back for another sip.
Me enjoy!
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 Edoardo (8) - ITALY - MAY 14, 2013 does not count
Stupenda all’aspetto, si presenta di un bel dorato tendente all’arancio, schiuma copiosa, fine e molto persistente, L’aroma è fresco, sentori di limone e di legno, che lasciano ben presto spazio a note fruttate e flereali.
Al palato offre un corpo pieno, si può gustare immediatamente l’ottimo lavoro del lievito belga che riesce ad equilibrare benissimo i sentori di frutta e di spezie. Finale leggermente acido, rinfrescante che lascia il palato secco e pulito. La Saison per eccellenza.
