750 ml capped and corked bottle, back label says bottled 24 September 2012, best before September 2022. Labeled as Cuvée St-Gilloise. Served in a Prairie Teku, the beer pours a hazy golden/orange color with about an inch off-white head. Head retention and lacing are both good. Aroma is nice, it's smells like apricots, hay, funk, citrus peel and some peppery spice. The brew tastes like citrus (mostly lemon) peel, hay, funk, bready/grainy malt, oak, peppery spice, earthy/floralness, and some white grapes. There's a nice mix of tartness, fruitiness, and funky/earthiness. Mouthfeel/body is light/medium, it's smooth and easy to drink with a good amount of carbonation. I thought this was good, definitely worth picking up if you come across some!

Hazy orange with a thick, off-white crown. Grassy, skunky, musty aroma with a hint of berries. Wood, grassy bitterness balances against the sour tartness in the taste. Surprisingly full bodied with soft but totally full carbonation. Superb beer. One of my favorites from them.

Mostly hazy deep orange color with a thin quickly fleeting bubbly white head. Earthy funky with hints of lemony tart. Pretty solid floral earthy hop aroma. Pretty nice.
