Draft at the brewpub. Interesting mixed aroma of spice and floral. Slightly orange tinged gold color with minimal head. Medium body with little carbonation (Magnolia ales are so English - even when they aren’t). First flavor is rather mentholic (but my companion suggested rosemary - chacun à sa propre goût). Then followed light, slightly peppery spice. Finish is balanced - not sweet - not really dry. The "herb" stayed to the end - maybe it was coriander. A different ale. Good. Much more intriguing than many ales.

(On tap) 6.5% ABV in my March version. Hazy golden with a dense, neat, creamy and very white head leaving pretty laces. Fruity - perhaps even floral - aromas. Medium body, lightly sweet and very fruity - perhaps a bit candy-like with a lightly acidic finish. Quite interesting and different. 210307

On tap. Hazy orange body with a rather small white head. A gentle, complex aroma of malt, citrus, spices and a hit of apples. Flavor is also very complex and rich in a gentle way. Peaches, citrus, sweet malt, lemon and spices. The aftertaste also have this special bitterness I find in many Belgium saisons. A refreshing and interesting beer true to the style.

Hazy golden ale with a nice fruity ester aroma, with spiced coriander notes. Nice sweet taste with a touch of lemon. Very well balance of sweet and hops. (June 2004).
