Style: Saison
overall: 4.2
appearance: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | mouthfeel: 4.5 | drinkability: 4.5
750 ml green bottle with no freshness date. The cork popped off like a bottle of good champagne, thankfully it was not a gusher.
A- Massive off-white head, very active carbonation ... pale golden cloudy color. This is good as the beer should never pour clear.
S- Very ripe pear, earthy cellar and a solid herbal backbone round out the nose.
T- Big herbal phenolic action upfront, dry grain and a mild tartness. A handful of malt character comes through with a clean grainy note. Touch of fruitiness, musty chalky yeast, herbal phenols and dry grain in the finish.
M- Incredibly smooth with a deep yet soft crispness.
Need a beer to clean the palate if not cut through some of the most flavorful cuisines ... this is the beer to do it.
