(500ml bottle from Duchesse d'Aiguillon, Quebec City) Pours lightly hazed intense gold with a thick white head. Notes are dominated by big juicy floral and sweet pears, both in the nose and on the tongue, well-balanced and estery without any plastic quality, quite ample and complex funky flora with wet hay, light earthy barnyard and a little mustiness, solid lactic citrusy core giving an acidic seam for structure, big barrel structure with good oaky tannins and a little vanilla/butter cream like an oaked white, some peppery quality in the nose and on the finish. Long pear, citrus and oak aftertaste. Medium-bodied, smooth filling bottle-conditioned carbonation. I do not know if it's just this vintage, but even young it was very complex and an excellent wild ale that drinks much better than its ratings.
