Tap at Bristol on 7/12/10. Bright yellow and hazy. Nose is lemony, peppery, lime. Very dry with a bit of horseblanket taste. Lots of spices in this one-particularly pepper. Spunky, in your face, not for the tame this one is. An over-the-top saison that pushes the boundaries. Good stuff here.

Pours a hazy yellow body with a small fizzy white head. Aroma of grass, florals, pepper, and citrus. Flavor of pine, herbs, earth, pineapple, pepper, and citrus.

Sampled at the brewpub, now drinking from a growler - cloudy gold - lively pour - impressive, soapy head - aroma of tangy lime, pils malt, earthy wheat, grassy saaz hops, pepper, light earthiness/mustiness - full but soft carbonation - fairly dry, peppery, bitter, crisp - a bit tart through the middle, with fairly strong wheat malt presence - lime is strong, but not overpowering - very mild phenols - finishes tart, dy, and peppery - despite the non-traditional ingredients, this is the most traditional-tasting saison I tried from this brewer today.

Had at the All Colorado Beer Festival in Colorado Springs on 11/7/09. Color is a hazy yellow. Carbonation is good with a nice tight white head. Aroma is a sour malt scent with a little spice. Starting with a lighter medium body it goes down with a crisp feel. Finish of coriander orange and pepper that goes a little sour on the end. Overall its ok for a Saison.

Draught. Pale yellow with thin white head. Lime citrus in nose with light fruit, grass, and light wheat. Flavor is very spiced, yeast, but mostly lime. not great.

Draught. Pours hazy yellow with an average, creamy white head, mostly lasting with good lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (bread, hay, straw), average hop (herbs, grass), average yeast (earth) with notes of lime, cumin, pear, and pepper. Medium bodied, sticky texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, light sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.

On tap at Cheeky Monk in Denver. Pours a hazy golden color with a large creamy white head. Aroma is yeast, lime, pepper, and mild funk. Flavor is chili peppers, black pepper, yeast, wheat, lime, and a little barnyard. Just a tiny bit of chili pepper heat. Finishes dry, with medium body and some prickly carbonation. Good stuff, if a little weird.

On tap at Bristol poured a hazy gold with a small lingering white head. Aromas of straw, black pepper and light fruittiness. Palate was light bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of straw, fruittiness and black pepper with a dry lingering peppery finish.

Draft at SBR. Tasted 7/11/09. Thin head, over a cloudy, pale yellow (SRM 3) body...nose is a bit of light malt, bit of wheat, dominated by lime...taste is primarily lime, with a bit of hop. Lime dominated this a bit too much.

(on tap at Bristol Brewing Co). Pours a cloudy light golden color. Medium size white head. Light lime aroma. Light lime and pepper taste. Avg duration. Smooth finish. Moderate carbonation.
