COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The French-speaking region of southern Belgium is the birthplace of saison, the love child of a centuries-old tradition of small rural "farmhouse" breweries, where native yeasts and time-honored recipes combined to produce some of the world’s most distinctive beers. As a tribute to this artisanal institution, we offer our own brisk, unruly Saison. Truly an artful balancing act, it is both rustic and subtle, robust yet effervescent, spicy and fruity.

Pours a hazy yellow color with a medium white head. The aroma is citric, spicy and somewhat funky. Very good flavor of hops, spices, citrus and some funk, there’s some mild bitterness in the end. The body is medium with a creamy texture and moderate carbonation. I prefer the Saison with Brett, but this is still an excellent saison.

travita (2535) - Frisco, Texas, USA - SEP 22, 2008
Golden orange in color with a nice foamy white head. Clear look. Smell is fruity, spices, and bubblegumg. Higher carbonation level. Taste is fruity and spiced with a nice light feel to the beer.

SDalkoholic (1490) - Chula Vista, California, USA - SEP 21, 2008
Bottle from South Bay drugs. Creates a violent abruption of foam that will simmer down to a thin layer of head. In the nose, there is a an obvious presence of Belgian yeast with a floral aroma of green plant or leaf. The flavor is perfectly spiced and well in sync which makes for a tasty and rewarding saison.

GJF (973) - Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA - SEP 19, 2008
UPDATED: SEP 23, 2008 A refreshing saison. Pours a cloudy straw color, thin white head. The flavor is sweet with touches of hay, apple, and yeast. The finish is fairly dry. I don’t get that much yeast or spiciness to it, but in general there’s good, clean flavors.

Body is a bit thin. Aroma is yeasty with hay; orange; lemon. Good dry finish with hay like malts. Pretty solid, drinkable stuff.

hillfiiiiire (323) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - SEP 19, 2008
Pours a hazy yellow with a bubbly white head. Aroma is yeasty hay with some hints of citrus. The flavor is what does it most for me though. Full of yeast, orange peels, spices, and enough hop to give this nice dry finish. Lively carbonation going on. I’m really love this Smokestack series.

crowderm (315) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - SEP 19, 2008
Hazy gold, bit soapy white head. Nice fruity /hay aroma with a little bit of funk. Flavor is big citrus juicy fruit at first, but disappointingly fades into a medicinal finish. Decent carbonated mouthfeel. Fresh and light, but not really extraordinary. Very solid.

bleeng (1085) - Huntsville nowhere near Beersel, Alabama, USA - SEP 15, 2008
750 bottle. Hazy, bright yellow and very effervescent. Nose has a nice moderate farmhouse/horseblanket odor. Taste is a big medicinal, fruity, sweet. Fluffy carbonated palate with a thinnish body. Overall a nice summer beer that I would certainly drink again.
