500ml bottle. Opalescent, minimally milky, yellow-ish, golden colour with average to huge, firm, frothy, slowly osteoporosing, minimally lacing, white head. Funky yeasty, herbal and minimally fruity aroma, hints of mustard seed, sage, a touch of brine, basil, old lemon peel, old orange peel. Taste is sour, tangy, funky, slightly herbal, minimally (vinous) fruity, hints of sage, mustard seed, a touch of brine, vinegar, lemon juice, white grapes, gooseberry, old lime peel, old lemon peel, basil, dill. Oily-watery texture, dry, slightly astringent, simultaneously minimally greasy palate, medium, prickly carbonation. Quite rich and complex, relatively sour - a Saison for the advanced user...

Fruity, acidic, sour and tart. Vinaigrette, honeydew melon, faint red berries. Floral, sweet, a bit dry. Really interesting, could be smoother and less acidic but very nice.
