Bottle shared in London - picked up somewhere way back in the day. Pours hazy gold with a lingering, frothy pure white head. Subtle yeast expression n he nose, faint oxidation, dry wheat bread, wheat, grain. Light-medium sweet flavour with more husky grains, mellow grassy bitterness, doughy wheat bread, hay, lemon peel. Light to medium bodied with massaging carbonation. Nicely balanced in the finish, more grass and grain husk, citrus peel. Good stuff.

Bottle at Leighton’s place. 8/12/2016. Many thanks to Leighton for this one. A light hazed golden yellow coloured pour with a a lasting frothy white head. Aroma is little corn, noble hop, little funk, dirty, damp dog. Spicy hop. Flavour is composed light sweet grains, little apricot jam note, saison, yeast, tangerine, little age, papery. Palate is semi sweet, frothy carbonation, dry finish. A mixed bag.

2014 bottle from Tanakaya. Classic Dupont yeasty, lemony nose that shines with a bit of honey. Piney hops come out as it warms with a tad of citrus. Above average carbonation with a slightly creamy mouthfeel. Biscuit and lemon on the palate with some light citrus. Peppery finish with some light sweetness. Nice take on a new Belgian classic.

0.375l bottle, vintage 2014. Hazy golden body, huge white head. Aroma and taste of bread, orange peel, lemon zest, cheese, pepper and spicy, earthy hops. Effervescent and light medium bodied. Pretty awesome.

2014. Tap at Jacs. Unfitlered orange-tan body with a massive white head. Earthy, mellow aroma, hints of melon. Has that nice dry, refined peppery yeast tone, but with some tropical citrus tones too..reminiscent of Belgian IPA. Not really as good as the original, but still sublime, really easy and smooth on the palate. The yeast is dry, flavorful, so much more refined than a typical Saison. Pretty excellent. Mellow lemon-lime. Keeps getting better as I sip at it.

At a tasting, many thanks, 2014 edition, big bubbly head, quite cloudy citrus orange color, aroma of wood, spice, yeast and some cardboard, flavor of wood, almond and vanila with a hint of fruit, and a light maltiness in the back medium bitterness. Nice but relatively simple and not too hoppy.

Huge thanks to quack-duck for that one! 2014. Bottle looks really good. Beer in the glass very zippy, huge head. Starts dry, hoppy, grasy, light sourish. Fruity notes of lemon, some grape. Bitter background. Light soapy notes. Finish milder, dry-hoppy, less fruity. Not bad!
