Bottle at our elite tasting. Moderate clasic American biscuity caramel, high bitterness. Moderate to high hoppy flavours, nothing too complicated - classic citrusy zesty and resiny flavour. Quite good.

Boottle from puskhinwow, many thanks. Hazy orange color with thick white head. Nice citrus hoppy aroma. Citrus hoppy, zesty taste with pines. Solid malty backbone. Long citrus hoppy finish. Very good.

Belle bière, toute en équilibre... On sent le raisin mais il est parfaitement dosé. Aucun défaut outre son effervescence plutôt faible. J’en rachèterai si j’ai la chance de la croiser à nouveau.

Cloudy blond color with small head. Very nice aroma; it’s strong and pungent, it’s flowery and fruity, lightly funky. Dry mouthfeel, but well carbonated; it has some cedar peel character, light tropical fruits, a bit funky.
Very nice.

Cloudy blond color. The aroma is very zesty and funky, more than the #2. Smooth, funky and zesty flavor, aggressive.
Excellent.

Cloudy light amber color with generous head. The aroma is lightly funky and Bretty, dusty. Dry mouthfeel, on the weak side, light character, but refreshing; dry and short finish, a bit astringent.
Easy.

Bottle: Poured a clear copper color ale with a nice off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of grainy malt with light rum notes and light dry notes. Taste is dryer then expected with some unrefined grainy malt, light caramel and some rum notes. Body is thinner then I was expecting with some good carbonation and no real alcohol was apparent. Not what I was expecting with malt body who could have been smoother and a little more sugar could have been apparent.

Au nez, les fruits confits se mèlent au caramel, aux notes de houblons résineux et à l’alcool au dosage modéré. La palette est très large. Les notes perçues sont de jujube, de réglisse rouge, de rhum et de toffee. De couleur ambré foncé aux tons cuivrés, le liquide développe une mousse de bonne épaisseur, à la densité et au maintient moyen. Le caramel s’impose même sur les lèvres dès l’entrée du liquide en bouche, accompagné d’un alcool aux tons de rhum juste assez puissant. Les sucres se déclinent en notes de jujube, de toffee et de réglisse, laissant quand même place aux tons de boisé ainsi qu’à une légère amertume résineuse en finale. Le corps est riche, la texture trapue et l’équilibre presqu’à point. J’aurais préféré un houblonnage légèrement plus intense; mais bon, c’est une question de goût. Ça reste un produit très supérieur à la moyenne. Une oeuvre d’art.

It pours a wonderful cloudy gold with a big foamy white head. Great hoppy funky nose kind of sugary but good. Light and hyper dry bodied. The taste is a sweet herbal hit, flavorful and tasty. A great mix between a saison and a hoppy beer.
