KUEric (579), Chevy Chase, Maryland, USA Jul 7, 2008 750 ml bottle. It was quite the saison. I was impressed with its foamy white head atop the yellowy-brown-gold beer heavy with carbonation. Lots of lemon, wheat grass, spices, and a little apple on the nose. A great aroma. The flavor wasn’t any worse though. Similar flavors to the aroma, just right. Nothing dominated the palate, but it was very flavorful. JoeinUccle (716), Brussels, Belgium Jul 22, 2008 Nothing flashy, just one of the better saisons I’ve had in any country. Lovely, hazy orange color with thick, white head. Aroma is an interplay of a subtle, yeasty spiciness, cereals, citrus notes and grassy hops. Begs you to sip. Moderately bitter flavor with hints of pepper and citrus from the yeast, dry finish. Delicious. Instant classic in my book. bbrock81 (193), Le Mars, Iowa, USA Jul 7, 2008 750 mL bottle. What a wonderful beer this was! A bright yellow with a huge, thick head. Aromas of citrus, apple, a good bit of spice, some malt and a hint of hops. Flavor tracked the aroma, but was a fair bit milder. Very good; grab some if you’re able to. Walt (2291), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jun 18, 2008 Pour is hazed light golden yellow with a big fluffy white head...smell is dry and funky...horseblanket, straw, cloves, coriander, cardamom, pepper....this is probably the best nose I have ever smelled on an American saison...the taste is dry...some horseblanket, leather, dust, lavender, and hints of vanilla....the finish stays super dry....wow....I am blown away by this...

An awesome example of which one glass was not enough.

<b>I like:</b>
Very fresh opening. Healthy white head. Charming meringue notes combine with the wheat to form a remarkably refreshing package. The yeast whispers spicy messages. Crisp hay-like maltiness. Remarkably attenuated for an American example.

<b>I dislike:</b>
I only dislike how hard it is to take possession of.
