Poured into new belgium globe from cork and cage 750 bottle.
Poured golden blonde hue with huge white head. Head sticks around for awhile.

What i'm smelling is apple or pear, pepper and definitely alcohol in the back.

First taste you get a sweet pepperiness then it dries out from the hops and then you get the alcohol. The alcohol just kind of sits in the back making you drink more getting the same results.

Mouth feel is slight carbonation getting thicker and sweeter as it warms and finishes dry.

Over all it is an average strong pale ale. I like duponts saison better than there strong pale ales. You still get the rustic taste in both.

Worth a try.

750ml bottle: Pulled the cork from this and found that it said 2006 on it. It should be interesting to see how it has held up after almost 7 years. It opened with a fairly loud "POP". It pours a fairly clear, darker golden color. There was a small white head on it that didn’t linger long or leave much lacing. The aroma is good, but a bit subdued. Definitely yeasty and bready nose. Lighter aromas of spice, banana and lemon. Maybe a touch of Brett. The taste is very good. It is extremely smooth. Bready, lightly spiced, hint of lemon. A very small hint of sourness. Very nice!

2009 is stamped on the cork
(Served in a tulip glass)

A- This beer pours a hazy golden orange body after a soft pop of the cork and a thin big bubbled ring of white is supported by a lazy carbonation.

S- The clean aroma has a soft dry grapefruit Brett not to it but that is about it.

T- The mineral water flavor blends with some dry caramel malt and a soft dry bitterness in the dry finish. There is some Brett grapefruit notes that grow just a bit as the beer opens.

M- This beer has a light mouthfeel with no real carbonation and no alcohol heat noticed.

O- This beer is nice to drink even though more carbonation would have really helped out. The Brett flavor carries the beer as the rest is pretty light. I was surprised at the taste when I pulled the cork and saw it was a 2009.

Beer is slightly cloudy golden with a large white head. Head recedes at a moderate pace. Only a bit of lace.

Smell contains yeast and bread pretty strongly. Some grassy and lemon notes. Quite floral.

Taste is yeast focused, with bready and spicy flavours. Noble hops. A bit of citrusy fruit in there, mainly lemon. Fairly dry, a bit bitter.

Medium bodied, highly carbonated. In keeping with the style but too carbonated for my tastes.

Overall, very good.
