3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a cloudy golden color with a thick white head. Solid aroma of herbs, hops, yeast, there’s a funky, citric acid profile that reminds me this is a De Ranke. The flavor is solid, there’s farmhouse funk with citric acid, herbs, hops peppery yeast. The body is medium with a creamy texture and medium to lively carbonation. I love De Ranke and I love saisons, so this is definitely to my liking.

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle @ Armin’s post-Scott’s Summer Saison tasting. Hazy, golden orange appearance with a white head. Fairly floral, spicy, light stone fruity, a bit dusty aroma. A little tangy, herbal, somewhat spicy yeasty, light citrusy, pretty floral, rustic flavor. Good example of what I’d expect from a traditional Belgian Saison.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Dark golden with medium dense white head. Aroma hoppy with grapefruit notes. Taste quite hoppy for the style, rather dry. This one was too hoppy for the style by my opinion, I prefer the more classical saisons, but a refreshing beer.

4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Appearance is a hazy straw golden yellow, with a large yellow head and moderate lacing. The aroma is spicy, with minerals and a slightly citrus. Seems to be noble hops on the aroma. The flavor is light pepper, and a small hint of citrus. The mouth feel is medium body, and medium carbonation.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
White pepper and citrus aroma. A darker saison, with the pale look of a tripel. Yeasty tart apple flavor, with a surprising boozy character as well. Smooth, creamy body that’s not light enough for sessioning. Leaves behind the roots of the style in attempt to be something grander.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
33 cl bottle.
Rated on 20110614.
Pours dark yellow color with a long lasting medium-sized head, leaves a bit lacing. Aroma of pine needles, spices, soap and some barnyard notes which gets stronger as the beer warms up. Flavor of earth, wood and malts. The typical elements for saisons are barely noticeable on the flavor. Lightly sour palate with a bitter and carbonated finish.
