Cloudy golden amber. Very spicy aroma - slightly hot, flowery with dusty yeast and breadcrusty malt notes in the background. Flavor has an anise accent, firm breadcrusty maltiness whole grain style and a hint of nutmeg, clove. Fresh, vibrant with bracing spices, this is a pretty damn good saison.

Draft. Amber beer with a big white head. Nice spicey/yeasty aroma - corriander, pepper and noble hops. great complex flavor - pepper, spice, lemon, malt, yeast, and an underlying sweetness. Not as dry as most saisons, but its very good. Had the bottled version too and it was a major disapointment in comparison - lemon flavor was over the top, and the complexity wasn’t there - would have been a low 3 in that rating.

A hazy orange beer with an orange head. The aroma is sweet and very flowery as well as spicy. The flavor is very flowery and fruity - I pick up mango, but other exotic fruits hide in the background. The alcohol gives the tongue a slight burn.

Bottled, thanks Dr.Bill! Bronze colour, fluffy head. Apricot and farmyard aroma. Candy and dense malt. Lightly fruity and citric with rounded, lively mouthfeel. A fantastic, Fantôme-style saison.

Crazy hazy orange beer with crazy spewing foam white head. Volcanic! Spicey coconut aroma...like the SPF sunscreen. I remember a yeast emitting coconut overtones in a beer in the past...interesting. Ginger and cloves tastes with alcohol and chunks of cococnuts coming in a certian points. Rich bodied beer. Lather my mouth with SPF 45. Merci Rasta!

This was a unique experience. Poured light orange and fairly clear with a creamy thin light tan head. Very interesting aroma- I finally realized that it reminded me of pineapple juice. Very tangy and fruity body with strong spicing. Pineapple and zesty pepper were strong and coriander was also noticeable. An interesting floral character develops at warmer temperatures too. I can't say I'll ever see this beer again; thanks hopsrus!

(draught) Dark amber to strong tea colour; good white head. "Farmyard" smells allright - mouldy cookies, if that can be. Tart to rich sweet taste, fruity, estery finish with orange zest and umble of aromatic components. Rich mouthfeel, aftertaste keeps tart. There's a beer that grows on you. It started off-putting for me, and then I wanted more and more.
