4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle shared by someone at 4th Ave Pub. Pale golden pour with a thick white head The nose is a bit chewy. Rich, sweet chewy malts, a bit of rich spiciness. There is a little bit of rye and a bit of peach as well. Apricot and pear along with a bit of chewy sweetness. There is a nice complexity throughout that helps combat the sweetness, although I’d still prefer this dryer. A little bit of soft tartness. Tasty brew.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: SEP 5, 2008 Draught at the brewery. Dark orange color, almost copper looking. Nose is pine, honey, clovers and some slightly burnt maple as well, overall very appealing in the nose. A bit of a peppery and active palate, a bit rough and bitter as well. The honey character is subdued, so it works fairly well in this beer. The saison qualities are a little hard to gather, though, other than the syrupy yeast, there’s a lack of spice and a lack of activity on the tongue, a lack of the mild sourness I like in other saison. Apparently the recipe has changed and the recent higher scores reflect the improved product.
