Cloudy light amber color with generous head. The aroma of citrusy hops is accompanied by some apricot jam and some yeast. The flavor shows too much cereals character and yeast; the mouthfeel is affected by the high carbonation; the final is herbal and even deeper in the yeast.
Could be a good beer, but not filtered enough, unclean.

Huge gusher. It pours a cloudy golden color. The aroma is a bit malty and fruity, but there is also some rubber and vegetables. Good body; simple malt flavor, but nice fruity touch that is similar to muscat grape; too much carbonation; low bitterness.
Messy.

20/11/2012 La Tana (tap). Bellissima alla vista, dorata carica, intensa con riflessi arancia, limpidissima, schiuma abbondante e compatta, molto persistente. Al naso sentori speziati da lieviti saison, con evidenti note fruttate, che creano un equilibrio magnifico. In bocca è più saison che IPA all’attacco, moderatamente dolce, con un finale inaspettato amaro deciso e lungo. Sorprendente ai primi sorsi, solo leggermente stucchevole alla lunga. Corpo medio, carbonazione corretta. Originale e ben riuscita, gran bella birra.

Pours hazy amber with a lasting head.Nose shows Belgian phenols, herbal and spicy notes, sweet light malt and floral hops.Very bold flavours, with sweet malt dominating before the sharp piny hops and alcohol take over. The phenols add some depth.Body feels thick. Not enough carbonation.

Bottle. Very dark brown with a modest but fine beige head that laces well. Aroma of leather, prunes, raisins, figs, licorice, chocolate. Rich, sweet and boozy with dried fruit, dark caramel, only a little chocolate, licorice/ anise. Dries out a little at the end, more than enough to avoid being cloying. Slightly syrupy with enough carbonation to lighten it. Good.

Bottle with a label that made me feel underdressed, 11C. Pale amber with a large dense cream head. Vibrant aroma of apricot, peach, dough, spices, flowers, lime leaves. Bittersweet with firm bitterness kicking in straight away. Fruity, dough, slight tartness. Dryish bitter finish with lingering spices and citrus peel. More saison than IPA IMHO (certainly moreso than the Nøgne Ø / Bridge Road India Saison). Anyway, a really joyous beer. [4.0] Growler. Oh, where’d it go? Heavier on the palate, sweetness and bitterness much more prominent. Nimbler in the bottle with spices and tartness playing a much bigger role. Much more IPA-like - and still pretty good, but more like 3.6. Leaving rating as per bottle.

Pours amber with a lasting head.Nose shows floral, grassy, spicy and herbal hops along with some Belgian-like spicy phenols. Some light malt underneath provideding some sweetness.Similar flavours in terms of hops, big spicy and herbal notes. The Belgian notes are still there too, giving it a saison character. Some sweet clean malt underneath followed by an assertive bitterness.Nice moderately-high carbonation.Pretty solid stuff.

Bottled. Hazy amber colour with a small, but longlasting, creamy white head. Aroma is bready and quite sweet malts with some fruity and spicy notes. Also some nutty notes as well as some slight tobacco. Flavour is tobacco, sweet malts, mild toasted notes, some alcohol and mild yeastyness as well.

Bottled. Pours a hazy amber color with a large creamy white head. Good head retention. Aroma of herbal hops, apples and citrus. Almost cidery. The taste is herbal notes, pale malts, earth, floral notes and strawberries. Medium bodied. Nice beer.

21/06/2012 La Tana (tap). Ambrata, limpida, schiuma bianca abbondante, non molto persistente. Naso non particolarmente esplosivo, anzi decisamente fiacco, con note agrumate e di pesca, malto ben percepibile. In bocca mostra un sorprendente equilibrio iniziale, con la componente di malto che ben si sposa con il luppolo, ma manca un po’ sul finale, e alla lunga stanca un po’. Corpo medio, carbonazione corretta. Un po’ fiacca, mi piacerebbe riassaggiarla.
