Commissioned by the Institut Royale de Saint-Exupéry, with very thick, creamy, yellowish white head and colour of ’old gold’, clear at first but ochre-coloured and milky when the deposit is added. Fruity, ’artisanal’ aroma, yeasty, peppery hops, cake, marmelade, apple peel, melon, tonic water, pineapple, wodka, fresh white cabbage. Fresh, dry fruity taste, strong carbo, grainy and a bit honeyish, apple, softer as more yeast enters the glass from the bottle, ending in an assertive, long, crisp, peppery hop bitterness and wodka-like warming alcohol, dry carbo effect too. Somewhat impetuous but not bad at all.

Serious gushing to three big glasses of fluffy foam and hazy pale orange-gold bottoms with UFO’s. Wild ferments, garden herbs, farmyard odours. Saison-like some might say, I deem it uncontrolled. Slightly wry flavour, yeasty, wild yeasts - not sour or acidic. A bit smoked, tobacco-like. Medium bodied, seriously bitterish aftertaste. I’m sure this beer will find a lot of admirers, especially in the States. But I suspect severe lack of control. Still, at this stage I certainly cannot call it bad.
