Thick, dense, lightly yellowish head, leaving some lace over finely carbonated darker golden beer. Sweet, almondy nose, bit gassy. Sweet & toasted "hot" malts, herbs. Again those "hot" malts, toasted and spicy. Main taste has a bit bitterness, but finishes again sweet. Feels very carbonated, almost fizzy. Quite slick, not much body. I think a clever badger would go for something else. Keep to the sours and the OBs, guys, this is boring.

Enormous yellowish head, stable, looking for all the world as whipped eggwhite; veiled orange beer, lively carbonated; rings of lace. Leafy, herbal, white candi sugar, perfumey. Bit aggressive nose. Sweet-ish. Furious carbonation masks flavours but for sweetness; herbal and spicy. White candi sugar as good as certain. Rather burning MF. Bit empty, high attenuation despite still certain sweetness. As if in full fermentation yet. As a tripel, more or less succeeded. What it has to do with saison, only Americans or Scandinavians might explain.
