3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: JUL 12, 2008 Poured a light brown color with a thick white head. It smelled of citrus fruits, cinnamon and spice. I don’t know that I smelled the figs, but it definitely smelled funky. This tasted like a good saison with the fruits and spices and hint of sourness as well. Had a good flavor and mouthfeel. A good complexity to this beer. Thanks again to mgumby and solan for sharing.

Pours a light brown color with a big frothy white head. Smells of the funk, spice, a little cinnamon, citrus. A lot going on here. The taste is very funky also, a litle sour, very spicy, and a little bit fruity as well. Good saison, I liked the complexity in this beer. Big flavor left on the palate in the aftertaste and the finish.

This beer could have a fantome label on it and i wouldn’t know the difference! Smooth and sweet. Light and crisp. Malty yet hoppy with a nice little sourness. Great beer!

rosey brown appearance. the initial flavor is sweet and reminiscent of the Dutchess. Unfortunately, the finish is very weak with no complex aftertaste and a final flavor that is difficult to even discerm. Not great
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle. Copper colored with a big ivory head and lively carbonation. Skunky hop aroma with sweet fruit notes. Thinly flavored. Somewhat yeasty with a slight fruitiness that I cannot necessarily say is figs or not. Flavor seems very soft and almost not there; like drinking wet carbonated air.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Yeasty, figgy aroma, light sweetness. Incredible head, I had to pour in three stages. Orangey-copper liquid. Figgy, hoppy taste. Very light malt, interesting yeastiness, dry and lacking finish. Very "green" tasting hops, late additions perhaps. Creamy body, nice carb. This is a pleasant beer, but lacking in any real strong character. Too subtle for my taste.

Bottle: Poured a rusty copper color that cleared up as it sat with a white head. The aroma was hoppy floral. The taste was metallic malt and yeast. I think this bottle might have been past its good by date. Kinda week on the back end for me.
