Saison with the usual dry and grassy taste, but also with some fruity New Zealand hops. Quite good.

2013-02-27, bottle, bb Oct 2013, 7-4-7-4-14=36
Hazy blond color with generous compact head and sticky lace. Aroma of fruity hops and spicy yeast, mild. Dry mouthfeel, soft, well carbonated; the malt flavor is well spicy; correctly bitter, but without clear hop qualities; long final, Belgian style, a bit sandy.
Good beer, well brewed, should have been drunk earlier.
2012-11-20, draught at La Fine Mousse, Paris, 8-4-7-4-15=38
Hazy deep blond color with generous creamy head. Nice aroma, spicy (coriander) with hints of oranges, pine and frankincense. The mouthfeel is quite dry; malt flavor, with nice spicy profile, strong bitterness, but no much fruity presence.
Good.

(Draught at Chez Moeder Lambic Saint-Gilles, Brussels, 18 July 2012) Pale golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, malty nose with grainy malt, citrus and grass. Malty taste with notes of grainy malt, grass, hay, lemon and a dry finish with a fresh, citric, grassy bitterness. Medium body, quite dry. Nice and tasty saison.

(Bottle, 0.75 l - BBE 08/2012, at One Pint Pub, shared with brunnsbe, 20120725) The beer poured pale golden and hazy. Its heaf was medium sized and white. Aroma had spices, fruitiness and malts. Palate was medium bodied with quite high carbonation. Flavours were hops, grass, spices, malts, fruitiness and bitterness. Aftertaste was grassy and bitter. A saison that had more pils characteristics than the ones of a saison.

Draught Huge, very fine & dense off-white head over clear metallic golden beer; rings of lace. Aromatic hops, faint but pleasing, with rosewater, grapes and slightly (luxury)soapy. Sweet pale malts and piquant, nearly peppery hops. Superb combination, but unfortunatley slightly clashing, rather than blending. Banana ester, with sweetness smothered by the hopbitterness. Quite slick, even film-y. Light to medium bodied. Alcohol not heating, but seems quite present, much more than expected for such a beer. I’m going to shock the Walloon fanatics, but I think Toccalmatto must have had a beneficial influence;..

Draft at Moeder Lambic. A hazy golden beer with a lazing white head. The aroma has notes of lemons, hops, and dust. The flavor is sweet with notes of lemons, hay, minerals, and dusty hops, leading to a bitter finish.
