[1] Review by beerdog from Delta, BC, Canada who has tried this beer once. (4/7/2008 12:53:49 PM)
"Cripes! This one is all head! At least six fingers of foamy ivory filled my glass, and then it slowly, gracefully drifted away into a marvelous web of fluffy lace. The aroma was fruity and spiced as it wafted upwards from the cloudy, almost orange body. The taste mirrored the aroma, but slightly sweeter. The mouthfeel was full and rich, and it finished smooth.

"Amber colour with big creamy beige head. Aroma is fruits, yeast and some notes of toffee. Flavour is toffee, alcohol, slight grassy notes as well as earthy notes. A very wellbalanced and pleasant thing. "

[4] Review by ante from Stockholm, Sweden who has tried this beer once. (6/4/2006 5:25:29 PM)
"Vintage 2001. Cloudy orange appearance. with small white sheet. Fruity and funky aroma od dried oranges, all-spice, wet grass, honey, cork, outdoor smell and wet wood. Flavour starts of orange-peels, dried apricot and minerals. Strong carbonation. Cheesy notes of wet wood and minerals in the afteraste. Funny to drink."

[5] Review by heemer77 from Savannah, MO, USA who has tried this beer once. (12/13/2005 2:51:13 AM)
"Dark amber body that is a little cloudy. An extraordinary amount of bubbling activity from the etching in my tulip. The head is large and light off white. The smell is a litel overwhelming with delcious honey, hay and some funky dried apples. This is a great smelling beer. The taste reminds me of waffles without any thing on top. There is also a dry hay note with some light dandelions. it gets a little sweeter as you drink. A nice saison that hits with a high abv punch that you cannot detect at all. "
