Son goût est remarquable, léger et conjugué avantageusement sur un ton à la fois modestement sucré et fruité, laissant en bouche une impression rafraîchissante comme on en redemande.

Pours amber, with a solid white head. Aroma of rich dark fruit, yeasty, bready. Taste- vinous hints, dark cherry, sugary sweetness. A lot of flavour packed in for 5%. Good.

BOTTLE 33 CL.
Look: clear mahogany, minimalist head.
Aroma: sugary and honey like sweetness, winy notes, some horse blanket.
Taste: light caramel sweetness, lactic and acetic acidity and some funk. Hardly a saison, but drinkable.

2 bottles for 380 yen from Seiyu. Served in a tulip, 5% It pours a surprisingly dark amber brown reminiscent of the barrel on the label. The aroma is of a big malty belgian, similar to a dubbel. The taste is similarly malty, light toffee, honey, candy sugar, candied fruits with just the slightest of nods to a possible saison type yeast. It’s quite a nice ale, think of it as a Brown Belgian Ale and you’ll have a better opinion of it than as a saison. Quite good for the price!

Small 250 ml bottle from Seiyu. Pours brown copper with a huge beige head - that even stays. Interesting, I really haven’t seen many brown or copper-colored saisons, new thing for me. Aroma is soft, fruity and a bit of caramel. Taste is also sweet and fruity, even candy-like. There is some tartness to balance this but not too much. Doesn’t feel too cloying though, so this is good. Has more body than I could expect from 5% beer. Overall, interesting take on saison, not completely on the spot for me but not a bad beer to drink.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a hazy burnt orange to brown color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than about twenty seconds.
The lacing was somewhat there but spreads out quickly with a slight speckled sort of messiness.
The smell had a weird sort of sweet grainy and grassy stickiness - all encompassing but not necessarily inviting.
The taste took those previously mentioned flavors and combined but also allowed an undercurrent of dulled spice (it tasted super old).
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with not much of a sessionable quality to it as the smell and taste somewhat bothered me to an extent. Something seemed quite off all around.
Overall, I say that I don’t think this is something that I would have again. There’s something that seemed really off in the taste and smell that just wasn’t too appealing.

Tap. Amber with fluffy slight off-white head. Nice spices up front with apple and some citrus (orange, tangerine). Light herbal touch with unripe berries. Quite sweet with light tart touch and herbal bitter finish. Medium bodied. Quite sweet for a saison but quite ok.

Nydelig duft av eik, krydder og karamell. Dunkel lys brun farge. Lite skum. God smak av vørter og karamell. Ikke mye som minner om en saison nei.

2010 bottle drunk on 1/19/14
Uh oh, didnt look when buying it, but the bottle is a 2010. Guess this didn’t exactly fly off the shelves...Any respectable Belgian bottle should be fine after three years, but consider me a little worried about Silly. Anyways, here goes....
Deep amber with dark oak tints. Off-white head is gigantic and well-retained. Clear, with fine carbonation rising and sediment left behind.
Initially metallic and vegetal, with powdery sugar notes and lots of vinousness (prunes, raisins). Special b malts and maybe just a touch of hop spiciness (not that I would expect any after three years). Medium strength of aroma. With some breathing and warming, the off-notes have mostly vanished, but what’s left behind is just more of the (moderately) sweet maltiness and finally some banana esters.
Sweet (very) cookie dough, raisins soaked in brandy, vanilla and light vegetal notes open up the flavor. No hop flavor or bitterness, but just a light acetic character (from the malt or yeast?). More celery and rhubarb on the end. Powdered sugar, underattenuated malts. Did they put dark candi sugar in this??? Geeze. I dont know what happened here. It’s not even showing oxidation, it just seems pretty poorly made/bottled. Way too many artificial flavors going on and much too sweet. Not sure what they think of when they imagine a saison, but I certainly don’t think of this. Torn between pouring this one down the drain. I mean it’s not horribly offensive, but there’s just very little to enjoy here.
