| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 1, 2009 Bottle,
has a clear medium gold pour with a touch of orange and some darker gold in the brew (I saw some floaties in the brew), gives a white head and has medium effervescence, leaves some lacing on the glass,
aromas of faint peach & orange, light malt, spicy citrus aroma appears to be the most dominant fragrance in this brew, there is fruit & sugar sweetness on the nose, maybe a hint of floral and funkiness in this beer,
flavors of sour-citrus fruit, orange, medium banana flavor which reminds me of a German Hefeweizen, there are lemon-orange citrus, low hop bitterness, not much tartness in this drink, and this has some pepper at the finish,
mouth feel is around medium with a nice creaminess, I thought the carbonation was low for a Saison Beer,
no alcohol noticed on the nose or the palate, an ok drink.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Dec 7, 2009 Bottle from a trade with StFun. Pours hazy dark golden color with white head. Aromas of bread dough and spices. Doughy flavor with mild spices and some fruitiness. Kind of a bland saison to me. Medium body with moderate carbonation.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 8, 2009 Received a single 12-oz bottle via trade with kmweaver. Pours a clear pale golden yellow colored brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that leaves behind a minimal lacing and ring. Aroma of Belgian yeast, some light golden grain malt, and a touch of bubble gum. Taste is light bodied, some flavors of golden grain malt, cloves, a hint of Belgian yeast/banana esters and some mild spice. Finish is semi-dry with a light yeast and clove aftertaste.

The aroma is fruity with a very slight farmhouse aroma and spiciness. The flavor was crisp with a decent hop bittering and a fruity flavor with a nice spice in the background.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 9, 2009 Arrowhead, Deep Creek, MD - With a light golden body emits a hefty amount of flavor inducing yeast, this Saison brings a sweet, champagne -esque aroma to the nostrils while filling the tastebuds with a fruity bite. Delight to be had with this Red Sky.
