2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20 sonnycheeba (1904) - Federal Hill, Baltimore, Maryland, USA - APR 15, 2012
Can. Pours extremely pale, hazy yellow with a trace of fizzy white head which dissipates quickly. Aroma is heavy corn, straw and biscuit malt, pears, and faint grassy hops. Flavor is nearly all malt with faint fruit esters; crisp, dry finish. Light body, medium carbonation, and low warmth.

Not a lot of yeast character but very drinkable.
And now for some extra words to fill the asinine quota of 75 characters.

blonde straw color out of a 16 oz can - faintly tart aroma with grassy hops and pale malt. light on the funk, which is disappointing for a farmhouse ale but it’s enjoyably clean and bright. fuller body than i expected which is a nice surprise, and it develops a slight tang as it goes. a nice summery brew which i hope to revisit.

Can brought back by my brother. Clear straw yellow pour with a huge white head. Aroma of barnyard funk, malt, herbs and light fruit. Malty flavor with a bit of funk and tartness before a crisp finish.

Michigan winter beer festival. Good but nonexceptional saison. Good balance but a little too weak in the flavor department.

Can. Very light straw color, no head. Musty aroma, high carbonation, light body. This may be what they are shooting for, but not my style.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Rando7 (607) - Iowa, USA - JAN 27, 2012
Can pour clear pale yellow with thick foamy white head. Delicate aroma of light fruits. Taste light fruits, spices, yeast, occasional sweet Jolly Rancher. Palate thin and highly carbonated. Finish light hops.
I would call this a pleasant easy-drinking beer without much to distinguish it. Would do better paired with food.
2.4 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 thedm (4773) - Fort Wayne, USA - DEC 28, 2011
Small foamy fine mostly lasting white quickly diminishing. Fair white lacing. Transparent high yellow uncarbonated. Tingle start to finish. Crisp soft hop finish. Mild hop softly tart flavor. An OK brew.

On tap at brewery, pours a hazy yellow with a thin white head and some spotty lacing, the aroma has a slight amount of fruit to it and some funk, the flavor has a touch of fruit and must in the finish, nothing really shines though with this brew.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20 superspak (1471) - Michigan, USA - DEC 20, 2011
16 ounce can into tulip, no canning date. Pours slightly hazy bright golden straw color with a fairly dense 2 finger bright white head with good retention that reduces to a nice cap. A small bit of lacing clings to the glass as well, but not much. Aromas of big lemon, clove, pepper, grass, apple, spicy and lightly funky yeast. Some pretty nice aromas here with good balance. Taste of big grass, grain, biscuit, light lemon, pepper, clove, and yeast spiciness. Fairly dry finish; but there are some lingering notes of grain, light fruit, bread, and pepper on the finish for a bit. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a crisp finish and easy drinkability as expected. No alcohol noticed at all in the taste or finish. Overall a decent farmhouse saison that is very easy to drink. A bit over the top with grassy and grainy flavors that block out the fruitiness a fair amount.
