This strong bottle-conditioned ale comes from a well-known and respected Belgian farmhouse brewery, best known for its Saison. It pours a golden straw colour with a thick, fine-bubbled, long-lasting, luxuriant head. The aroma is crammed with light citrusy fruit - lemon, lime, orange, pineapple and grapefruit. There is also a slightly barnyardy hint suggesting the presence of some wild yeast. In the mouth the citrus fruit notes are again immediately apparent, with the addition of sharp green apple notes, though the dominant flavour is a hoppy, citrusy, bitter-lemon-and-grapefruit bitterness. Spice notes are also present - cinnamon and coriander. The alcohol comes through in the finish as a slight sweetening warmth in the back of the throat, along with a medicinal, phenolic lightness. Aftertaste is bitter-sweet while retaining the sharp fruitiness, especially the grapefruit notes, leaving a lingering tart bitterness. This is  a seriously refreshing, zesty beer that is very drinkable despite its strength - and very enjoyable too.
