Sample @ Stockholm Beer & Whisky 2012. Pours tiny hazy golden with a small white head that leaves a small trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is funky, fruity and spicy with crackers, dry soil, cloves, hay, green grapes, brett, cloves and hints of barnyard. Taste is tiny sweet, tiny bitter, tiny sour, funky and spicy with crackers, green grapes, lemon juice, plums, lemon zest, dry soil, brett, cloves, white pepper and barnyard. Mouthfeel is dry, tiny tart and light to medium bodied. Finish is dry and spicy with crackers, cloves, white bread, white pepper, brett, grape zest, apple skin and dry soil. Nice and refreshing.Re-rate! Bottle bought through Systembolaget. Very medicinal and phenolic. Not as refreshing as the first try. Will let it sit for a while to see what happens with the brett.

Bottle sample @ SBWF 2012. Pours orange with a small white head. Lovely fresh aroma with notes of berry seeds and strawberries. Taste is not as good, altough true to style and totally drinkable. This might be the best saison to come from sweden.

Bottle sample @ SBWF 2012. Pours red with a touch of pink. Hazy. With a slightly pink head. Sweet and sour aroma. Very fruity. Smells like a whole dessert! The aroma reminds me of some well known Lost Abbey sours. The taste is enormously fruity. Dry like berry seeds. Sour. Thick bodied, yet quite light.

Bottle sample at SBWF. A very herbal brew, some funk but mainly herbal notes of thyme and basil.

Sample at SBFW. Pours muddy red purpule without any head. Berry sweet and tartness. Light and smooth but not at all thin.

Bottled at SBWF. Hazy golden, small head. Mild funky nose. Medium bodied with rounded sparkling mouthfeel. Fruity with some salt and cobwebs. Low-medium bitterness. Quite interesting, but with not enough malt depth for my liking.
