3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A hazy orange beer with an off-white head. The aroma is very fruity and spicy with notes of peaches, cinnamon, and ginger. The flavor is sweet with notes of ginger, juniper berries, violet, and nutmeg, leading to a dry end.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: JUL 18, 2007 (Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of fiulijn. Hazy, golden with a white head. Weird aroma of cinnamon, citrus and diacetyl. Medium body, dry yet with an underlying sweetness. Very spicy accents, cardamom and citrus - and bath salt! Dry and bitter finish. But quite interesting. I’m not much of a Saison lover, but when it has to be I tend to find the American ones a lot more drinkable than the Belgians. 230407

UPDATED: SEP 6, 2005 Bottled. Clear golden, brief head. Aroma of soap, lavender and cinnamon. Sweet with clean, hard mouthfeel. There’s loads of sugar and soem oranges. Lacks the liveliness of a real saison. Salty finish. Pleasantly spicy, but with simplistic malt structure.

clear dark yellow, big creamy white head that settles down into a nice fine head after leaving a bit of drippy lace behind, big ginger aroma with a hint of cinimon and/or nutmeg, smooth creamy body, well spiced malt flavor, nice ginger bite, spiced more like a winter warmer than a saison but on the light malt character of a saison

2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cloudy blond color. The aroma ha some citrus touch, and a sharp cardamom character; it smells to much like Swedish cakes. Quite dry mouthfeel, malt flavor, little residual sugars, a lot of spices. It’s drinkable, but the spices are too much for me.
3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Beige, cloudy. Explosive aroma of ginger, chamomile, florals, yeast, poached pears and brown sugar. Intense, blazing spices (anise and pepper), sublime florals, enough malt body and muscular alcohol to bring it all together. A crazy, interesting brew clearly inspired by the esoteric Fantome brews.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
(Bottle) Pours a lightly cloudy yellow body with a medium-sized white head. Aroma of the outdoors in the country of a spring morning, spicy yeast, banana, florals, cloves, white grapes, apple, citrus, and urine. Flavor pumpkin spice, banana bread, and lemon.
