Bottle shared by Julien, medium sample. Hazy golden color, medium white head. Aroma is flowery, soft fruity, slight tart, bit funky. Soft sour in taste, slight sweet as well. Wonderfully balanced like a mix between a saison and a geuze. Sourness is mostly citric and lactic, but is very soft. Great beer and very sessionable.

75cl Bottle, Oct. 2013 Bottle. Hazy deep golden colour, white head. Lovely funky aroma, barn, hay, Brett, floral, mildly acidic, citrus, like a great cross between a Gueuze and an Orval. Flavour is of a soft sourness, citrus, lemon, bitter peel, flowers, mild sourness, lots of funk, mild hops. Light bodied. Very tasty.

(750ml bottle @ Mikkeller & Friends, shared with my lovely girlfriend Jan 9, 2015) Pours a hazy pale orange with a huge and extremely lacy white head that gushes slowly for a while and requires me to perform bottle fellatio to contain it while wandering around looking for seats. Aroma quite fruity and also noticeably funky. Blood orange flesh, lime peel, dried apricot, a bit grassy, white pepper, earthy barnyard hay Hill Farmstead character with lime juice acidity underneath. Juicy tart fruit up front with lots of bright lime and rich orange, nectarine too I think. A very light malt sweetness in the middle to balance the acidic quality but citrus leads. Drying into the finish, still acid core but joined by wet hay with very light funk, restrained herbal hops and a bevy of citrus zest flavours that give a bitter aftertaste. Slight minerality in the finish. Light bodied with big aggressively effervescent carb. A study in citrus, refreshing and very complex saison.

Bottle: Poured hazy hay color ale with a super large pure white foamy head with good retention and some excellent lacing. Aroma of light tart and vinous notes is quite refreshing. Taste is also dominated by lime notes with some tart and vinous notes also perceptible. Body is full enough with great carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Well brewed with great drinkability even though I usually prefer my saison with flavours focusing on rustic malt and yeasty notes.
