    SAQ import from my group with a best before date 06/11/14 on back label. Pours a cloudy golden-yellow colour with a big creamy white head, great retention and coats the whole glass. Loads of fruits in the nose (apples, oranges, prunes, dates) like marmalade and some of the Belgian Ale yeast. Sweet malt taste with the fruit notes, yeast and mild honey, all milder than the smell. Lots going on in this one and I have more to cellar to see if it blends better later. Still, pretty decent Belgian Blonde that is fruity.

    Sweet leaning with a spicy zesty yeast and hop presence in the aroma and flavor. a little too carbonated for my liking but I'm sure that varies. Overall. pretty deceent but at a premium price.

    Decidedly Belgian... and decidedly average. Pours golden with a pillowy white head, but so do so many others. Saison-like characteristics in the nose. Bland flavor... left me wondering what a good beer would have been like.

    There's much Saison character here, a pour from a fresh keg at Cooper's tavern. Flavorful and fruity; I get mostly pear, but peach and banana too - not so much from the nose, but in the taste. Flavors complemented with a peppery spiciness. Sweet turned sharply bitter mid-palate with a dry finish. Most intriguing. Nice balance between the forward fruit and the sharply bitter dry ending. MUSIC: "Take a Minute" from Troubadour by K'Naan. "I'm just gonna take a minute and let it ride / I'm just gonna take a minute and let it breeze"

    More Vegas... dammit, how many times have I typed that? Nice cloudy soft orange / gold beer that ended up getting too much sediment due to me not realizing that there would be tons of sediment. Small off white cap, pretty good bubbly and spotty lacing. Fragrant aroma with pungent dar fruit, sweet and almost nutty (prolly the fruit, nutty like fresh picked papaya), soft spice, sweet musty aroma and an odd caramel that isn't quite caramel (no idea here). Sweet taste but not sickly at all, light but fragrantly flavoured, mild yeast, pungent fruit with some weak but lasting spice. Very flavourful. Odd, twice it tasted like fish... I have no idea what that was about... only twice though. Very carbonated, mid-ish bodied but probably lighter than that, fat middle. The bitterness does come out and becomes more noticeable. Decent beer, a surprisingly good beer. My feet are soft.

    Hazy orange colour, small creamy head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is earthy, nutty and some yeast and caramel in it too. Also a lot of spices. Flavour is nutty, spicy, sour berries, earth, milk chocolate and yeast. Yet another "alternative", but very drinkable Saison.

    I must have gotten a bad bottle, because this stuff was horrible. The aroma was corn, corn, oh and a little more corn. The best part was the appearance. Mouthfeel was a bit thin. Flavor was also of putrid corn. Probably one of the worst belgium beers I've ever had. Very disappointed. Re-rate 3*31*06: I was able to land another bottle and while this was ovbviously much fresher, it still was just an above average beer (an improvement though). Sugary sweet in the nose, golden yellow hazy hue with a medium head. Medium bodied with a sweet yeasty, biscuty flavor that wasn't bad. Scores reflect the new rating.

    08.11.05 Drink by 04/04 Golden Pour, a zoo of bits swimming about, tall and lasting white head. Bottle was a mild gusher. First sniff and it’s obvious that there are some bactierias at work. I remind myself that years ago I’d have dumped this bottle right down the drain, but this seems occasion for experimentation. Spicy hops, biscuit, apricot, floral, and very grassy aromas mingle with nicely integrated barnyard funk. Very nice, and not at all what I’d have expect judging by the label. Lightly sweet fruit flavors, winterberrry, spring flowers. This is an interesting and lithe beer with a light and tingly eff.
