Bottle: Poured a golden to copper blonde with a thin white head. The aroma is soft fruit and hops. The taste stabs at my tongue like a fork, opening it up to the hops and citrus fruit. I really think this is closer to an IPA. Very stunning bottle with a unexpected kick.

Bottled. Hazy yellowish golden colour, mediumsized white head. Some particles floating around. Flavour is earthy, fruity, mildly alcoholic and also some yeastyness. Flavour is very earthy, grassy, fruity and quite yeasty. Aftertaste is quite earthy, but has notes of very fresh fruits.

Hazy, pale straw-yellow beer, well-carbonated to a creamy, off-white head, leaving lace. A very welcoming nose of toasted, warm malts and ironoxyde. Some lemony and other citrussy notes, as well as the smells in the attic of an active farmbrewery. Perfect hoppy-malt balance, here the malt being more pale than toasted. Dry, no restsugars all the same, citrussy hops festival. Retronasal even more typical hopbitterness. Rather light mouthfeel, without a shade of emptiness, some gristslickness. Very true-to-style Saison; the initial ironoxyde nose made me jump for joy, expecting a new Saison de Voisin, Biset-Cuvelier or Extra Vieille d’antan (yesteryear), but in the end, it turns out more S. Dupont-like. Which is anything from regrettable, and for the first new beer for the new year, this a mindblower. GREAT - and from a brand-new brewery, at that. We want more!
