Reminds me a lot of Saison Dupont with more orange character. Bursting with fruity armona, dull-orange in color, Creamy, highly-carbonated body, with spicy, orange flavor. Nice dry finish.

One of the dryest belgian ales I can recall, which distinguishes this from many in the style. Wonderful fruity bouquet. Lemon, yeasty. Finishes slightly tart. What a treat. Stillwater really impresses me and excel in the belgian style.

Bottle. Pours a hazy hay with a big, big head. Had to pour slowly, let it sit, then pour some more. Big pineapple aroma with a slight bit of yeast and a bit of an alcohol whiff. Taste is pineapple, piney hops, banana, yeast...and it all blends together beautifully.The alcohol burn doesn’t come through until everything else has started to fade on the palate, which takes awhile.

Bottle from Bottleworks
Hazy color of unfiltered pear cider. Abundantly carbonated in a way that balances out the mouthfeel nicely. Plenty of lemon flavor with white grapefruit atop a hefty golden belgian ale. Yeast-driven spiciness. Long grassy-hop-oily close. Splendid.
