Pours a nice straw-yellow color with a thick white head that drops fairly rapidly, leaving little lacing. The aroma is familiar Belgian yeast, with a fruity (banana, grape) background. The taste is earthy and fruity with an ever so slight citrus zest. There are spicy peppery notes at the finish. The flavor lingers pleasantly in the mouth with a light mouthfeel and very light carbonation. The 7.5% ABV is well-masked and barely noticeable.

Oct 7, 2008 This one doesn’t get a lot of love but I think it’s a great, easy drinking and refreshing brew. I’m actually reviewing an 18 month old bottle. Cloudy gold with a nice white head. Apple and pear spiced aroma with cinnamon, clove, honey, ginger and wheat notes. Nicely acidic apple taste with raw grains and funk. Surprising complexity with lots of light fruit and bread tastes. Really delicious, and ages like a dream.

Oct 2, 2008 Pours golden brown with a decent off white head. Aroma is a fruity malty smell. Taste is also slightly fruity and wine like. Good stuff.

Sep 23, 2008 A little sweet for a saison, still a nice beer. Poured a cloudy yellow hue with a thin white head. Aroma was very sweet with very mild barnyard or earthy tones. Flavor had heavy candy like notes. Dry finish.

Sep 11, 2008 Pours pale gold with a thin white head. Smells of residual sugar and has some saison aualities, but they are all garbled. Tastes fruity and overly sweet for the style.
