12 oz. bottle... Hazy amber ale with orange highlights. Lots of floaties hovering above the billions of sinkers lying 1/8" thick on the bottom of my glass. Flemish nose with notes of lemon, orange and honey. Mildly sweet, wonderfully tart flavor. Medium-bodied with an arid mouthfeel and feather-soft carbonation. Lengthy, moderately pungent, dry finish.

Draft sample at Arbor Brewing. Poured a cloudy golden color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate yeast and tart citrus aroma. Medium body with a smooth thick texture and flat carbonation. Medium sweet yeast flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Another good brew.

0.8 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
In short: An awful rotten sweaty beer that shouldn’t be called a Saison. Worst “Saison” ever.
How: Bottle 12oz. Consumed reasonably fresh about 3 months after receiving it from dmschefke. Not your fault Dave, I asked for it!
The look: Cloudy ugly brownish-blonde body topped by a beige ring of foam
In long: Repulsive nose of sports locker room and ripe fruits. Taste blends extra ripe fruits (almost rotting), unpleasant sourness, sweat, and… who cares what else. I drank 1/3 of my 12oz bottle and drained pour the rest. Body is slim and lifeless. I’m a Saison whore, when closing the trade deal with Dave I did ask for a bottle of that thing. I saw the awful ratings but I thought to myself “C’mon Dany, you love Saisons, how bad can a Saison be?”. Well, I got my answer. That bad. I’ll take a Bud anyday over this. Awful and not even on style, this beer is to Saisons what soiled underpants is to bridge engineering.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Hazy copper brown with a fizzy head. Sweet fruity aroma with Belgian yeast notes. Good smooth fruity taste with notes of caramel and a sweet bread finish.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Reviewed from notes.
Pours an apricot orange with an off white head and decent lacing. Smells brings forward a bit of hops, some citrus, and generic sweetness. Fairly mild, but not bad at all. Taste is a bit too sweet. Feel is a bit thicker than I would normally expect but it works with the flavors. Drinks fairly well and was a nice starter.
Serving type: on-tap
