Best Saison I’ve ever had. After hearing the touching story about the man who came up with the recipe it just added to the greatness this beer is. Stunning complexity and elegance. Saisons can being very strait and narrow, this one wonders but you always have a feel like it’s on course. It’s worth seaking out if you can find it on tap.

On draft at Hamilton’s. Appearance is a murky bright orange hue, fair amount of white foam dissipates to a ring, watery lacing. Smell is a delicious range of fruits and spices, honeysuckle, orange blossom, light malts, honey, cotton candy, hints of cinnamon, pepper, light fruits, and hops. Taste is an initial push of sweet malts and fruits and spice, opens up to sweet honey and vanilla, finishes thick and sweet. Medium-bodied, fairly thick texture, lively carbonation a touch on the high side. Drinkability is high, this is one flavorful saison bursting with taste and amazing aromas, great example of the style.

On tap at O’brien’s. This great summer beer pours with a golden-orange body topped by a medium thick to thick head with lots of lacing. It’s sweet and malty with a nice grassy note, some clove and a light fruitiness. Light bodied, smooth and a touch dry. A very nice beer to commemerate the late, great Dave Levonian. You will be missed.

Sample @ the brewery in Linda Vista. Pours a glowing golden orange with a foamy white head that left good lacing. Lots of citrus fruits and yeast on the nose. A good balanced finish with powerful yeasty backbone.

On tap at brewery Nice golden color with a fluffy white head. Good earthy spicy aroma. Tastes of wheat, grain, and spice. good carbonation. Refreshing.
