3.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from Hi-Time. Hazy orangey color with an ok white head. Aroma is minimal. Like very light orange and yeast over pale malt. Medium to full body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is light citrus(coriander?), light malt, light spice. Yet it all comes together to make a strong impression. Pepper showed up. In a light way. This is a smooth ale which seems to change direction constantly. The finish is mild spice and fruit with a little wheaty sort of maltiness. It’s really very tasty.

Cloudy dark amber. Quiet scent. Light head. Light peppery flavour. Tastes like a light wheat beer. A patio Saison?

Bottle (750ml) shared at ’Biegaman’s Second Annual Saison Tasting’ -- courtesy of biegaman. Pours a cloudy gold with tons of chunky floaties and a small diminishing white head. Nice aroma of fruit, yeast and spices. Flavour: Hmmm, that’s unique -- what spices am I getting? I can’t place it but I quite like it. Also some fruit, sweet malt and yeast. Medium bodied. A unique take on the style, I really liked it.

2005-05-24. Golden yellow body with small quick white head. Very lightly funky aroma, light fruit and muted yeast. Similar flavour, zippy lemon fruit, muted spice note, mild underlying pale malt. Average plus palate. Pleasant, but not unassertive. Bottle shared by Biegaman
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle (750ml corked & caged). At 2nd Annual Summer Saison Tasting - beigaman’s bottle. Cloudy light orange pour, unremarkable white head (3+). Interesting aroma, spice, latex paint, apple, pineapple and pungent spruce. The taste is different yet again, lightly acidic, very spicy/yeasty, with a hint of burnt rye toast and no paint and hardly any spruce. Thick, still body, subtly astringent - has a quick finish, which was a bit of a let-down, since there was so much going on, it felt like the party ended way too suddenly - but no aftertaste to detract. Different, memorable - really good.
