Bouteille 750 ml. Olfactif aux tons d’épices et de fruits. des fleurs des champs, du poivre, des petits fruits, de l’orange sanguine, du pamplemousse rose, du citron, le tout sur une base légèrement acidulée. Olfactif très complexe. Liquide doré, voilé, avec une mousse rocailleuse qui s’attarde. Entrée de bouche légèrement acidulée avec notes d’orange sanguine ou de mandarine. Pétillante à souhait, sèche, elle développe beaucoup d’agrumes; ananas, pamplemousse citron. Son amertume est peu élevée mais elle se veut extrêmement rafraichissante. Saveurs plutôt originales pour une saison. Potentiel rafraichissant très élevé.

Pour is a hazy yellow greenish with a large white head. Aroma is a saison yeast ester some green hop and a spice like cinnamon. Flavor is yeasty esters with a wow inducing citrus tartness that came out of left field. I also get a bit of white grape and some honey malt. I’m guessing the citrus is from the Mandarina hops. After a few sips of the beer the tartness goes away it was just that first sip that it really hit you. This was a solid saison one you got past the look of it.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 3/16/2016. Pours slightly hazy golden straw color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, pineapple, pear, peppercorn, light pine, light cracker/bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/floral hops, fruity/spicy yeast, and light pale malt notes; with good strength. Taste of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, pineapple, pear, peppercorn, light pine, light cracker/bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Moderate amount of yeast spiciness and light herbal/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon/orange zest, pineapple, pear, peppercorn, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a short bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/floral hops, fruity/spicy yeast, and light pale malt flavors; with a nice malt/spiciness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Good amount of dryness from yeast spiciness as well. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, crisp, and lightly grainy/bready/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very nice dry hopped saison! All around good complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/floral hops, fruity/spicy yeast, and light pale malt flavors; and very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink. A very enjoyable offering.
