Shared bomber, in snifter. Shiny orange/gold, slight haze; fine, thick persistent white head. Rye, Belgian yeastiness, and hint of apple and pepper. Tart, zesty mouthfeel and palate start to finish. Great farmhouse ale.

8.5% part of the 3000 yen tasting set at CBB. Nice opaque honey yellow with a thick white head. Sour, spicy with a bit of biscuit/graham notes - it smells like a good saison! Full bodied, sweet, surprisingly some velvety caramel notes, a bit of tartness, some spicy hints & barnyard in the earthy finish. Delicious.

750 ml bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 3/27/2013. Pours moderately hazy golden orange color with a 2 finger dense off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Spotty foamy lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big pear, peach, pineapple, grape, apple, pepper, clove, hay, grass, herbal, candi sugar, rye, bread, light funk, and yeast earthiness. Fantastic aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, Brett, and malt notes; with good strength. Taste of big pear, peach, grape, apple, pepper, clove, herbal, candi sugar, bread, rye, and yeast earthiness. Lingering notes of light fruits, pepper, clove, candi sugar, bread, rye, herbal, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast flavors with moderate male balance; with a good sweetness/spiciness balance and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Medium-high carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a moderately slick, smooth, and crisp mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a light warming present after the finish. Overall this is an excellent saison style. All around great balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast and malt flavors; and very smooth to sip on. A very enjoyable offering.
