Bomber. Pours a pinkish, orange color, with a medium, rocky, fleeting, off-white head. Lovely raspberry aromas, with strong lemon juice, kiwi, and caramel. Very tart. Light to medium body, with an acidic, sticky mouthfeel. This is an assertive, fruity saison. Held up to a surprising age.

750ml bottle. Clear, darkest ruby colour with small to average, thick frothy, fading, beige head. Tart-ish, woody, fruity aroma, notes of cherry, dark red berries, a vinous touch, blue grapes, plum, cautious spicy hints of nutmeg and cinnamon. Taste is tart, tangy, slightly dry woody, minimally vinous, notes of morello, cherry, red berries, hints of blue grapes, plum, a touch of nutmeg, cinnamon; fine and gentle, efficacious carbonation. Very nice.
