Very heftily carbonated golden-orange beer with a huge, fluffy, rather explosive off-white head. Herbal, fine hoppy, and other interesting aromas with something that is vaguely reminiscent of vanilla icecream. Quite bitter (concentrated in the head), serious hopload. Yet there’s more here: as a fine, just-not-sourish "citrusness", and a background that clearly spells wheat (OK, spelt), other grain and even wholemeal. Very balanced, and pretty complex, yet affirming "easy drinking" all over. Very carbonated, on the edge of fizzy, light to medium bodied. Actually d*mn good, I’m impressed! HtD ought to ask Brian over more often...

Bottle at the De Molen second Tuesday tasting. Poured a cloudy straw colour with a thin white head. The aroma is weak dry and malty. The flavour is bitter and spicy with fruity notes, but that was all up front and the aftertaste was quite weak and watery. Not a favourite.

Bottle: Poured a cloudy dirty beige color ale with a huge foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma consists of rustic malt with some fresh cut hay and some light funky ester. Taste is a wonderful mix between some rustic malt notes with nice dry floral notes with fresh-cut hay and light funky notes. Body is quite full with great carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Perfect mix between complexity and drinkability.

375 mL bottle courtesy of Butters. Thanks! I think I have a dent in my ceiling. Pours a hazy yellow color with a large frothy head. Good head retention. Aroma of sweet bready malts, herbal notes, banana, faint nutty notes. The taste is nutty notes, sweet malts, spice, stone fruits and a tart finish. Medium bodied

Whole Foods, Bowery, New York 375ml ($6): Pours peachy body with a big, but quickly dissipating, white head. Aroma is funk. I think the green bottle added a little bit of skunk in there, but after the initial pour the aroma reverted back to saison. Taste is dry. There is a slight bitterness. Body is really light. Beer is refreshing. Some grass and straw type flavours. This ain’t bad, but sort of doesn’t have enough going on in the taste.

12.7 bottle shared by mreusch. The pour is a hazed yellow with a small white head. The aroma is herbal spice, along with a light natural sweetness. The taste is clove, fruit (apple) sweet malt, the herbal, and a dry bread. The finish is grass and a hint of citrus, which sort came out of nowhere. The palate is medium bodied, with soft carbonation. A unique an interesting beer. Thanks for sharing Matt.
