Hazy golden colour with an orange hue. Fizzy, bubbly white head with low retention, leaving some small froth around. Orange juice aromas sweetened with Belgian sugars and the oats. The taste is also orange juicy, and not too sweet. Enough hops in the finish to dry this. Even some light spiciness, zing. Gets better as you drink it.

(473ml can from L'Axe du Malt, Quebec City) Pours lightly hazy medium gold with a decent white head. Notes of ripe tropical fruit and grapefruit Citra coupled with a light dose of sweet bubblegum esters, sweet-ish cereal core, some leafy and melon type fresh notes as well, touches of lightly funky hay wild yeasty vibes, soft peppery phenols, aromatic citrus peel bitters, fairly dry herbal finish with some hop bitterness and phenols, carrying that saison vibe into the aftertaste. Light to medium bodied with fairly high carbonation. Quite a nice heavily New World hopped saison. Easy drinking and enjoyable.

Can: Poured a clear bright yellow color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of sweet malt notes with loads of Citra hops notes with some nice floral undertones notes. Taste is also a mix of sweet Belgian style malt with some citrus hoppy undertones and loads of floral undertones. Body is full with good level of carbonation. Enjoyable thought base saison beer is kind of hard to distinguish form the heavy hops presence.

Tasting at Matt's; can
Hazy blond colour. The aroma of Saison yeast blends perfectly with the Citra. Dry mouthfeel, sharp and spicy yeast character, some funk, finishing with bitter citrus peel and light incense; bold bitterness, a bit pithy.
Very good.

Can - Lots of fruity esters and some nice fruity hops. Clear gold with a decent white head. Fruity and perfumy Belgian yeasts with a bitter finish.

Touch of haze, light amber. Smells like a litterbox, well, that's citra for you. There's a lot of bitterness, and there's a light fruity, phenolic yeast note. The malts aren't doing much, there's a lot of hop. Phenolic, and sticky, and the yeast character isn't great.

473mL can, pours a hazy dark golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out a bunch of dank citra hops, biscuity malt and some earthy notes. Flavour is quite hoppy and rustic, with rustic saison yeast, a great hoppiness, and some earthy notes. Rustic and hoppy in good cohesion. Really good.

Tall can (thx, Felix L.!) at Matt's. Pours an almost clear golden with a white head. Aroma is very peppery like Belgian Saisons with some smokey and fruity notes. SImilar taste. It's ok, but if you like Belgian Saisons, then you will like it.

L’olfactif présente une levure bien en évidence avec notes de poivre et houblonnage complexe avec tons de poire, de pèche et de fruits tropicaux. Subtiles épices et fruité de houblons se mariant à merveille. De couleur doré et clair, le liquide est recouvert d’une petite mousse effervescente qui descend un peu trop rapidement. Le poivre chatouille la langue en entrée de bouche et se mèle à des éléments maltés mettant le grain et le pain en évidence. Le tout se termine en finale herbacée plutôt amère et trainante en fin de bouche. Les éléments fruités demeurent présents avec leurs notes de pèche et de fruits tropicaux. Bonne utilisation du houblon Citra qui est bien en évidence. Très agréable et bien gouteuse.
