Bottle. Pours a golden straw color with a bigger head than I would have expected. Very fluff white head. Strong aroma of belgian yeast and floral notes. Slight alcohol notes in the nose. Lots of lace with a lot of carbonation. Pretty smooth well balanced taste of belgian yeast flavors with some floral type tastes. Not bad but the abundance of carbonation really kills it for me.

Bottle pours gold with a rocky white head. Aroma is lightly sweet, spicy, and musty all at the same time. Smells of yeast, lemon, hay, wheat, and coriander. Flavor shows the same with additional white pepper spiciness. Overall body is light to moderate, creamy, and finishes dry with soft carbonation. Good stuff.

Excellent beer! Belgians have a brewery hot on the tail with this one. Poured with a great, foamy, frothy, cream colored, long lasting head and lots of lace. Color is a hazy amber. Aroma is yeast, musty, lemon, malt, dried hay. Flavors much the same amplified. The complex bittersweetness is its most appealing characteristic. Body is mouthfilling and carbonation is perfect. Very satisfying and yet super easy to drink. Finish is like flavor and of medium length. Definite session beer.

gpekar (450) - Maryland, USA - AUG 7, 2010
Poured a hazy golden yellow with an extremely tall white bubbly head. There was plenty of effervescence in this beer. There was a strong aroma that was crisp and tart with citrus (lemon) and some malt sweetness. As the head reduced it became more creamy and it lasted a good long time. There were plenty of carbonation bubbles rising up in the glass. The initial taste was clean and crisp, full of carbonation. There was a good tartness in the flavor as well as some citrus and a bit of pepper. There is also a good backbone of roasted malt that comes through right after the initial tartness. The sweetness was like a banana bread. It only lasted a short time as the tartness and a bit of a bite redeveloped into the finish along with a little spiciness. The flavor on the finish lasted for a long time. The head left some light lacing as it eventually became just a film. This was an excellent beer. Very refreshing and thirt quenching.

callmemickey (1359) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - JUL 10, 2010
UPDATED: JUN 9, 2012 A: Hazy orange-straw body. Forthy white head that receded fairly quickly.. moderate lacing S: Lemon, clove, pepper, musty, has a nice farmhouse funk to it. Slightly tart. T: Nice tart, farmhouse funk... A spot on funky flavor that many saisons just can’t get right... like pepper and clove accents... some yeast and bready malts... clean lemon and banana notes. M: Refreshing, light bodied and crisp finishing. O: Delicious on a hot early summer day... Glad to see this lived up to my expectations.

Bottle shared by Kyle, thanks! Poured a near clear cloudy orange with a fluffy white head that lasted. Aroma was full of spices with some cardamon and lots of floral and light fruit notes. Flavor was sweet with floral and fruit notes and lots of spice. The spices were a bit overwhelming.
