Sampled via bottle at WTWBA 2014. I brought this bottle to the festival. Purchased in Portland, Maine in June, 2014. Opaque yellow color and a substantial white head. Dry aroma, brett yeast, grass and flowers. Flavor has more yeast, capers, dry malt and dry, bitter hops. This is an excellent saison.

(On tap @ VilleValla Pub, Linköping, Dec 11 2014) Pours a slightly hazy medium gold with a large frothy white head and lots of lace. Aroma is fruity and farmhouse funky, with a malt base like hefty wheat, citrus juice fruitiness, light honey, touch of banana phenol, grassy, lavender like florals, a nice wet hay/horse blanket character hanging over all, slightly dusty, an orange oil character I think is the Amarillo. On the palate, nice and zesty with the spelt malt helping the rustic character. A bit of light honey sweetness, some bright citrus, lots of grassy, herbal, lightly floral notes, very softly spiced, nice helping of barnyard wet hay. Dries out quite quickly, dusty though not too mineral, fruit carries on a bit and the herbal/grassy nature really builds. Moderate hop bitterness builds at the end, totally dry finish, lingering bitter aftertaste. Light-medium body, carb high but pretty soft. This is a hoppy saison but not an American farmhouse despite the hop choice. Nice old world feel, rustic, bright and refreshing, quite flavourful. Very good stuff.

Bottle from Dranken Vande Woude, Pervijze nr Diksmuide, consumed at home, on day Worcester City hold Scunthorpe United away 1-1 2nd round of FA Cup, Sunday 7th December 2014. Hazy lemony, light yolk coloured (some yeast now, following poor pour from Fin) white spritzy head atop. Tasty saison, a touch rustic and yet smooth, its fresh, zippy and clean. Soft in mouth, tangy, really pleasant beer. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8
