Bottled. Hazy orange/pinkish colour, not much head. Aroma of grapefruit. Bitter grapefruit/lemonish flavour with sweet ending. Refreshing, and beats the breezers, smirnoff ice etc off the table any day. Perfect "teeny"-drink .)

(Bottle 25 cl) Rumour has it, that this beer is identic to "Saison de Silly" from the same brewery. Dark amber color with a hint of iron. But also plenty of (a bit too much) sweetness. According to the label, this beer has been maturing for several months in the cellar at the castle of Anthisnes. Doesn’t really fit with the fact that this is a label-beer. 310802

Had this one on draft at Sharp Edge Beer Emporium in Pittsburgh. The beer poured a strange salmon color with only a trace of a white head. The aroma is sweet citrus and grapefruit. Smelled just like grapefruit juice. The flavor was light and grapefruity. Strangely it started sweet and then finished dry. My wife noted that it tasted "pink" but that was not a bad thing.

Bottled. Hazy deep golden, firm head. Buttery malt aroma. Sweet, malty and minerally with low hop rate. The mouthfeel is soft and filling, especially for a 5.2% beer, and the finish is salty.
