Pour is a blond with a large pillowy white head. Aroma is of pale malts, a nice citrusy hops and some pepper. Flavor is again agressive up front hops with some raisons and a pleasant sweet malt after the swallow. No real brett in this one as the hops are the main focus here. A west coast saison? Still this is a pretty nice beer and a different take on the style.

My final rating of 2009 - I figured I would go out on my favorite style - lively pour - hazy - honey-colored - thick, fairly well-sustained head - tangy grapefruit hits the nose first - a decent dose of hops for the style - light yeast, wildflower honey, a mild, rustic earthiness - quite spicy, peppery, and hoppy flavor - fairly dry and flinty, with the exception of a slight honey sweetness on the tail end, that quickly gets swallowed back up by the hops - some floral notes far in the back, a touch of dried herbs - wheat and toasted grains - some pils malt character in the finish - quite bitter, but the dryness really makes it work - it’s no Dupont, but it’s might good.

75 cL bottle, courtesy of fonefan. Pours hazy orange with a huge white head, slowly collapsing. Aroma is distinct citrus and floral hoppy with a light yeasty note. Smooth - almost velvet like mouthfeel and hops fruity flavours mixed with mellow yeasty notes. Smooth fruity and bitter flavoured finish yet with a light sweet impression into the far finish.

Bottled at Belgobaren, Stockholm. Cloudy golden, small head. Rich hoppy grapefruit aroma. Dry and fairly light bodied. Minerally with slight almondy yeast character. Freshly hoppy with grapefruit and seville orange marmlade. Finishes with medium bitterness. Belgian style yeast and attentuation and Amercan style hops is a winning concept! This is good, and very drinkable.
