A nice funky saison aroma, even funkier than i expected, with some great dark fruit esters. A nice funky flavour loaded with plums, and some apples. Interesting stuff, i like this take on the style.

330ml bottle.
nice golden straw color. HUGE white head, wicked lacing on my glass. Aroma is sooooooooo nice. Big peppery notes. Lots of apples, and plums, and some citrus, coupled with that great saison pepperiness is outstanding! Flavour is so complex. Slight tartness reminds me of a lambic, but its so smooth. Great fruit, and peppery notes. Lots of sour hops. Wow, just a wicked saison. One of my new favorites for the style.

750ml bottle at Dieu Du Ciel.
Cloudy brown color. Nose of cherries, yeast, some slight floral aromas, and a good amount of sour funk.
The flavour is sour, and funky, and the chrries really come through, its very much like a good malty sour cherry, very interesting, but extremely drinkable!

Bottle at the mondiale ’07.
aroma is very fruity with apples, and slight banana comming through. Flavour is fruity, with some peppery notes like a saison, and some caramel in the finish. Quite a complex beer, lots going on. Very very nice.

On Tap at Dieu Du Ciel!
Nice golden color, loads of carbonation.
Aroma is fruity, peppers, and some slight grasy notes. Flavour is again, quite peppery, and fruity, but the pepper wins out. There is a nice hoppy bitterness in there also. Well balanced beer. Mouthfeel is slightly thin though. This is very much like a Saison i find.

Looks like a normal stout, but the aroma has got roasted malt, and smoke, but its also funky, and sour!
it’s like mixing a stout, and a lambic. The flavour is .............whoa, sour, and olive like. Like i said before, the flavour is like a mix of a lambic and stout, it’s roasty, but very sour. not very nice at all.

hazy, murky orange color. lots going on in the aroma, coriander, yeast, orange, lemon, apple, a hint of mint. flavour is beautiful, sweetness with apples, and a slight tarness that is followed buy a loverly bitterness that reminds me a lemonade. as the beer wamrs up, its very much tart like a lambic. mouthfell is so smooth, and lots of lovely gentle carbonation. outstanding beer!

12oz can. Nice mixed culture flavor and tone, sour but lots of yeasty depth. The fruit tone here is rather mild, and like another rater noted, more gooseberry than anything else. Nice flavors still, but the body kind of ends abruptly. Unique, OK.
