500mL capped bottle. Poured into Engelszell glass, which is an interesting shape. Not much head, a thick, mildly murky, thick marmalade color. This isn't fresh b/c I got at at discount at State Line Liquors. But, its held up well. Aroma is still airy but a little aged malt. Light fruits, maybe chestnut - not sure - a Belgian biscuit maltiness. Flavor is still lightly yeast fruit but low ester with some light mineralness and earthiness. Carbonated finish with a effervescent end. Its a nice Belgian ale, not a saison but a nice Belgian Ale.

Bottle drank in NYC - picked up in MA. Vintage 2015 bottle. Decent gusher - lost about 1/3 of the bottle. Pours unclear orange with a big, frothy white head. Nice aroma, some citric elements, leather, moderate funk, grass, melon and tangerine. Light sweet flavour with mellow acidity, some grape, more tangerine, mellow bitterness. Medium bodied with modest carbonation. Finishes with more subtly tangy citrus fruits, faint alcohol, more melon, a little salt, ripe tangerine, background musty funk. Nicely nuanced. Very good overall.

Bottle in NYC - picked up in MA. Pours clear yellow-gold with a tight, creamy white head. Huge aroma of zesty kaffir lime, lemon peel, grass, perfume. Light to medium sweet flavour with some honey drizzled over doughy wheat bread, some crackers, more zesty citrus, lemon rind, oily lime, a little grass. Light bodied with average, massaging carbonation. Finishes with further dominant kaffir lime, bread crust, wheat flakes, ripe lemon, hints of honey. Interesting stuff, but really not that drinkable.

50cl bottle from AbeerVinum, Rimini, Italy. Expired in June 2017. Pours orange-colour, with quickly disappearing white foam. Aroma is fruity, in particular peachy, but not sweet. Some tannic. Body is medium-dense with abundant carbonation, and with quite some astringency in the finish. Taste is vastly sour, maybe some sweetness in the very beginning.
