Hazy blonde with a thin white head. Wheat aroma and skunky orange peels. Fresh wheat taste with light coconut. Rather disarticulated and aimless for a saison. Mondial 2005.

Bottled. Hazy golden, rich head. Perfumy honey aroma. Very sweet with soft, spritzy mouthfeel. Medium to full body with well structured malt profile. Peachy hops provide a bitter, salty finish. Honey however dominates the beer, and the sweetness gets a bit much, despite the efforts of the hops and malt.
