Bottled (BB 06/2008)
Courtesy of bierkoning, ty Edo! Hazy dark orange color, big off-white head. A bit sour aroma, nose otherwise is saison-fruity with some straw, barnyard and incense. Foamy mouthfeel. Dry palate, dried grass, some alcohol, pepper and dried apricots. Hoppy-peppery aftertaste. Stylish saison, I have not had them many from the Netherlands.

Bottled (thanks tbone_!). Hazy nutbrown colour with huge foamy beige head. Aroma is earthy, grassy, herbal, and very yeasty. Some mild fruityness also. Flavour is quite much the same with grass coming in strong in the finish. Very mouthdrying.

Amber colour. Aroma has caramel and hops. Flavour is of caramel, some roasted malts and some herbs. Enjoyable. Rerate: roasted malts in the aroma, and bitter long-lasting flavours of coffee and chocolate. Very enjoyable!

Draft@ Pint BBG 2007. A bit high in carbonation, for the rest pretty true to the (German) style: not (too) sweet, with s firm bitter finish.
