Bottled. Hazy amber colour with a mediumsized white foamy head. Aroma is blueberries, some slight caramel and mild fruity tones. Flavour is fruity, citrusy, some earthy and mild perfumed soapy tones. A bit metallic as it warms up.

Bottle from the brewery. According to the label, this is 5 months out of date. I can’t imagine that is to any detriment whatsoever, so why bother having a daft BBD, and then sell it anyway?! Anyhow... Hazy, reddy, dark gold. Filmy, white head. Vimto fruit. Bready, yeasty thing. Red wine barrel is evident. Taste is salty, sharp, and dry. Palate is chewy but clean. Finish is vinous sweet. Pretty dry. Light sour. Very nice. Even if it is past it’s best!

Sampled from bottle @ The Hague tasting. Hazy orangy color, full sized thick white head. Smell and taste some fruits, a bit yeasty, slightly peppery, typical saison flavors. Not bad.

Bottle shared at the "Lets celebrate the fact that Dean is already the Mayor of M&S Den Haag even though it’s only been open for 24 hours tasting!". Pours hazy red brown with an off white head. Aroma of citrus, peppery saison yeast. Flavour is light moderate sweet and moderate bitter. Medium bodied with heavy carbonation.

Bottled, thanks fonefan! Murky amber, rich head. Tinny blueberry aroma. Medium bodied with overcarbonated spritzy mouthfeel. Caramel and lemon perfumized washing up liquid. Metal and resin in the finish. Sloppy and unclean.

Bottle, Luvians, St Andrews. Murky amber looks with a small white head. Yeast, spice and fruit notes present in the snout. Flavour was berry fruit, citrus, spice, yeast, grassy hop and a little booze.Quite lively carbonation. Very solid but stops short of real excellence somehow.

On tap @ Haandfest 2013. This is a really cloudy warm orange looking one with a heavy lacing just off-white head. It's fruity on the nose with lots of zesty citrus and some yeasty hints as well. It has a really interesting flavor this. A wild taste with subtle acidic, almost salty lingonberries and citrus. Yeasty saison-ish hints and it's leaving the mouth leaving my tongue light dry. Quite interesting. Yeah, I could drink this again. 25.05.2013
