2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Smells boozy at first, then some earthy with some tropical fruit, perhaps banana. Banana flavor, like an earthy hefe. Weird. Not for me.

22oz bottle 11/25/11 (Jack’s Mountain Home)48° in Tulip-Pours a murky orangish amber with a big off white head. Aroma of wheat, citrus, yeast, pepper, and grass. Taste of the same with a bit more citrus and yeast coming through. This medium bodied brew is not bad. Goes down very easy. Nice job.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Review from notes yesterday: Bottle I brought to share at Woodshop. This was a great extra from a kind BA named BeerBoy9960. Smell is some cracked wheat, mix of dried/fresh grass, and some mellow fruity apple/pear sauce funk. Tree-born fruit flavors with some tang of potent lemongrass, some spicing that was so light it; somewhere between veggies/pickled ginger. Good mouth feel with some alcoholic perk that upped the intensity a bit. Slow evaporation dryness. I was a fan of this one.

Bottled. Pours a hazy gold with a nice blooming white head. Aroma is pepper, peaches, and grain. Light spicyness, grass, sweet fruit flavor on soft carbonation. Solid effort.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Location: 22 oz bottle from Colonial Wine and Spirits, 6/22/11
Aroma: The nose has a good amount of sour yeast, along with floral anf fruity notes
Appearance: The pour is a slightly hazy golden-orange color with a fomay white head
Flavor: The taste is bretty up-front, with a light sweetness and a light bitterness
Palate: The body is medium, it has a fairly lively carbonation to it, and a fairly dry finish
Overall Impression:
I wasn’t expecting it really, but this one feels like a brett beer. It is actually pretty sour, which I didn’t expect to see here. I figured an Oklahoma saison would be pretty boring, but this one actually had some character to it. Choc surprised me here, most of their stuff that I have triedn wasn’t too exciting or well made, but this one was really solid.

Bottle i brought to RBWG bought in a store in Little Rock, AR-pours orange with a fizzy white head. plastic woody nose, phenolic bandaid. plastic and phenols dominate the flavors. not very complex, but come on, its a saison brewed in OKLAHOMA!!!! what are you going to expect? lite spice on the finish with a little bitterness. not bad considering the brewer and the location. probably the only saison brewed in OK.
