750 ml bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 7/9/2011. Pours hazy orange copper color with a 2-3 finger foamy and rocky off white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with plenty of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of orange peel, pear, apple, grape, light banana, floral, grass, herbal, bread, clove, honey, light funk, and yeast earthiness. Nice aromas with good complexity of yeast ester notes with moderate malt presence; and good strength. Taste of orange peel, pear, apple, grape, light banana, clove, pepper, toast, brown bread, light honey, floral, grass, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Lingering notes of orange peel, light fruits, pepper, clove, toast, brown bread, light honey, floral, grass, herbal, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast flavors; with very balanced malt sweetness and zero cloying flavors after the finish. High carbonation and medium bodied; with a lightly creamy, crisp, and lightly prickly mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a very good saison style. Good balance and complexity of yeast ester and malt flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A bit too malty, but a nicely enjoyable offering.

Draught B.C."H." over golden beer with orangey sheen. Orangepeel nose, slightly spicy and yeast byproducts. Very dry orangepeel flavour, with again the spicy, peppery yeastfeatures. Medium bodied at least; bit sharpish MF. Rather run-of-the-mill beer, very estery and yeast intoned.

Courtesy of Sledutah, thanks Craig. Pours hazy deep gold with white head. The aroma is spicy followed by an even mix of apples, pears and apricots as well as yeast banana and cloves. The taste is moderately sweet with wheat, some banana, apples, yeastiness and grassy earthiness. Seems a little disjointed as the notes seem to pull this apart rather than together.

Bottle shared by someone one at the post EBF tasting, thanks! Poured a cloudy gold with a white head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma had a combination of light fruits (apple), flowers and some light sweet grains as well as hints of citrus and light spice. Flavor had sweet grains, light fruits and citrus with just a bit of spice in the finish.

750ml bottle pours a hazy gold with a frothy white head. Nose has lots of Belgian yeast, bananas, cloves, a little light lemon, herbs. Flavor is sweet, candy sugar, banana ice cream, cloves, pineapple. Medium bodied, sweet finish. Not bad, drinkable.
