Pours a unclear dark gold with a bubbly white head that dissipates quick. Bursting aroma of fresh pine, cedar, spice and yeast. Sweet entry that subdues into light vanilla and wood then quickly into strong cedar wood spice, lemon rind and yeast. Finishes very spicy and dry with a quick note of alcohol.

Pours a cloudy golden color with a white head. Smells like cedar with some yeast and spices. Taste also has a lot of cedar with some sweetness and a nice dry finish. An enjoyable beer with a lot going on.

Bottle @ Scott’s Summer Saison tasting. Thanks so much Scott! Hazy golden appearance with a cream colored head. Very spicy cedar, tobacco, woody aroma with lighter citrusy notes. Spicy cedar, woody, lemon citrusy, a bit smoky, mainly cedar flavor.

Cloudy amber, off white head. Scent is caramel, pepper. Taste is tart, bitter...cedar tones. Like it’s lemon wood sister, this is just addditives piled on top of a mediocre brew. AND slightly less pleasant.

Bottle. Black pepper and cedar aroma. Golden with a small white head. Stale black pepper and cedar flavor. Please don’t send hate mail. This was a truly horrible experience for me. The cedar turpenes literally burned my tongue, which was still tender the next morning, as if I had eaten raw garlic.

Bottle. Pepper, lemon and strong cedar aroma - like an old cedar chest. Golden yellow with no head. Sweet cedar, strong black pepper and malt flavor. I could handle this better than the lemon wood but the cedar seem to overwhelm every other flavor in this beer besides the black pepper.

750 from Foodery. Yellow pour with carbonation. Lemon and tart. Grapefruit. Bit of cedar. Dry. Interesting take on saison.

Draft @ CBC 2012. Pours a hazy golde color with a small white head. Has a fruity malty spicy yeasty woody cedar aroma. Fruity malty spicy peppery woody cedar flavor with yeasty hints. Has a fruity malty spicy woody cedar finish.

On tap. Pours cloudy - close to opaque - with a small off-white head leaving laces. Mmmm, distinct cedar in the nose - love it. Medium body, very dry and very tart lemony accents, minerally even salty and again thick cedar notes. Pungent, astringent finish. I really, really dig the cedar aroma, but combined with the tart fruit makes this a very challenging and difficult beer to drink. But very interesting indeed. 240512

Pours golden with an off-white head. Aroma is malt, chewinggum, spice, yeast and light pepper. Flavour is malt, spice, grapefruit, pepper and perfume.
