Pours clear, bright yellow in color with one inch head and high carbonation. Taste is honeysuckle, sugar, Belgian yeast, vanilla, and light hops. Makes for a beer that is somewhere between a saison and a Belgian Pale ale. There is a really good mix of sweet and slightly bitter. Makes for a nice celebration beer. Tasty and high quality. I can totally appreciate all the hard work that goes into producing this beer and why it is priced high. That said, its price would most likely deter me from getting this more than once a year.

750mL bottle poured into a stemless wine glass.
Huge foaminess. Spritely carbonation that surges like champagne. Golden and copper body. Clear and elegant. 5
Dark fruit and bright floral nose. Peppery yeastiness. Sweet caramel/honey. 4
Plum and dark fruit join peppery yeast and floral notes with a current of sweet honey and touches of wheat. White wine and champagne notes are in the mix and lovely. Sweet lager malt sort of flavor lingers. 4.25
Not as light as I would expect from a "champagne" beer, but has the yeastiness and wine-like qualities. Sweet and floral with mellow bitterness close to the finish. Lingers like white wine with a touch of tartness. 4.25
First bier de champagne and I'm impressed. Tasty and a perfect beer for Thanksgiving.

Cork pops just like champagne. Lovely carb in the pour and nice presentation. Nose presents a bit more Belgian yeast than the taste. Taste is loads of vanilla, white wine, green grapes, and just some hints of flowery esters. Great drinking experience.
