Bottle. Deep red-orange. Creamy light brown head. Flanders Brown-type sour aroma. Steady sour flavour. Brown sugar sweetness. Dark dirty yeast quality in finish. Seems to grow tired through the glass.

Aug 27, 2008 Bottle: Pours a cloudy deep amber/copper with a creamy strong off white head. The aroma has some sweet fruit/preserve-like notes, caramel apple, fig, toffee and musty & spicy Belgian yeast notes. Fairly creamy body with sticky carbonation. The flavor starts with rounded candied Belgian malts, giving off some ripe fruit flavor as well as a subtle vanilla-toffee sweetness. There’s some apple skin and mild plum hints, with later spicy phenolics and a nondescript peppery spiciness into the finish. A Saison that’s a bit on the sweet side, yet in the end is balanced. A decent offering.

Aug 21, 2008 The aroma is sour and fruity with some sweetness and earthiness. The appearance is amber with a so so head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thin. Overall it’s OK.

Aug 12, 2008 750 ml. bottle. Cloudy dark orange/copper color with a big frothy head, leaving striped lacing. Aroma of a slightly funky yeast in muffiny malts, with floral, citrus, banana, peach and pear notes. Nice malt profile--caramely and cakey. Some funky flavors along with citrus, spice, thyme, and a bit of honey. While the malts are pronounced, the overall essence is off-sweet, which I like. Full bodied with fine carbonation. A pretty nice offering.
