Well time in the cellar hasn't hurt the carbonation level in this one al all. I get nearly four fingers of rocky off white bubbles with ease. Bubbles crackle quickly and fade leaving dots of lace behind. Body is a murky haze of orange like a sunset into the sea. Nose is full of powdery fruit tones and soapy yeast notes, this is a very nice fragrance all together. Slightly tart but wonderfully fruity is what you get with first sip. This isn't big sour like most wild ales but rather the fruit tone really shinning. The yeast lengthens this fresh fruit feel all along the palate. Really just juicy and delicious. On the end of the palate is a nice soft dryness and slight hop presence that really bring perfect balance. Mouthfeel is just right like eating a peach. New Glares really should make this one again, it is a superb and wonderfully drinkable Saison.
