3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
750ml bottle, not aged by me, but unknown shelf-life. Too bad the brew date isn’t present on the bottle. Pours a deep cloudy amber with a nice smooth and foamy head. Aroma is a sweet and tart, with slight caramel malt and citrus hop aroma. Dominant aromas blend to be similar to that of green apple. Taste is mostly bitter, with a lighter balance of sweet and sour. Medium bodied with a silk texture and active carbonation. Finishes hoppy at first, but fades to a linger woody and savory.

75 cl bottle @ O’Hara’s Freehouse. Rated on 09.03.2010
Lots and lots of foam when pouring. Bright red colour. Palate is too high on CO2. Aroma is rather typical to a Saison with wheat, some yeast and fruits. Flavour is somewhat stale with wheat, some tart citrus and earthy notes. Feels a bit like Fantôme.
