Commercial Description:
Pils, Carapils, and wheat malts, Belgian candi sugar

This beer is brewed in the Belgian Saison style (country farm house ale). A potent yet delicate ale, brewed with a unique Belgian yeast which develops a spicy, fruity flavor. Enormously complex. Available from May to around August.

On tap at the Oldsmar Tap House on 4/18/08. Pours a clear golden (like a pilsner) with a thin white head. Minimal lacing on glass. Aroma: some spice, some fruit, maybe hints of honey. Slightly sour tasting with a hint of complex cheeses. Slightly sweet throughout with a somewhat thin, watery finish.

The first thing that came to my mind after taking that first swig was "bananas." I felt like I just had some bananas or banana candy. Sampled at Florida Beer Fest in St. Pete.

poured a yellow/orange with a slight haze to it. Large head that stayed true to my Tulip glass. Nice spicy but fruity taste with a lot of carbonation. I have not tried the saison style before but I look forward to trying others.

Not the best saison out there, but still worth a pick up. Pours slightly cloudy gold color, with a thin head. Aroma is mostly spice with some fruits, taste is typical saison, with the exception of a bit of an alcohol bite at the end.

This is a hearty, full-bodied beer that is a good go-to beer. A spicy yeast flavor, it is not overbearing, but strong to the palate.

Bottle. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Fruity and spicy aroma, a bit of clove. Medium body. Flavor is very similar to the aroma, with banana, clove, yeast, and dough. Pretty good.
