Feb 9, 2010 750 ml bottle shared by Tmoney99. Pours a hazy golden amber color with a large white head. The nose is spicy with a strong dose of rye and some earthy hops. The other thing that stands out is the fruitiness. Apples and light citrus provide a moderate sweetness. The flavor is a blend of sweet and spicy. The rye presence is noticeable. Toasted grains, apples, mild citrus, brett all make for an interesting combination. There is a small amount of alcohol around. Medium bodied with a dry finish. They certainly don’t make a boring beer.

Feb 7, 2010 750ml bottle - $10.99 at Bullock’s Wine & Spirits.
Appearance: Quite cloudy body of orange-gold hues and topped with a large, meringue-like, white head.
Smell: Spicy nose, a mingled of popping phenolics and rye, with lesser, distant notes of cookies and honey. Plenty of fruits here: tart-scented Granny Smith apples, pears, and even lemon.
Taste: Sweet barley with some sugary sugar cookie-tasting hints and tangy-tasting wheat-based crackers and a crackling rye spiciness. Green apple and a bit of tart lemon cream lead to moderate phenolic tones, along with some punchy tastes of pickled sliced ginger and white pepper-coated pears. Touch of alcohol. Finishes dry and phenolic with some curious tastes of spearmint and green apples.
Mouthfeel: Medium-plus. Medium-plus carbonation. Some chewiness, some creaminess.
Drinkability: It’s both interest and different, though, when all is said and done, I’d rather stick to just a simple, classic Saison Dupont. That’s just me though!

Feb 2, 2010 Pour a cloudy orange with a big white head. Sour nose as well spicy aromas. Nice spicy, yeast, and orange flavors. Not as much sourness as I expected by the nose. A good saison.

Jan 28, 2010 750 ml at redlight redlight. Pours a cloudy yellow/orange with a generous white head. Really strong nose. hints of farmhouse with a powerful very enjoyable rye aroma. Extremely pungent, earthy flavor. Tasty but definitely not for the faint of heart.
