3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 notalush (3744) - Denver, USA - OCT 1, 2011
More of an herbal, lightly fruity wheat ale - much like their other saison, there is not a lot of character from the yeast, which is why this one is laden with adjuncts as well - they work well - the peach serves as a tart compliment to the spicy hops - good, just not all that saison-like. 747313

On tap at a couple of places in Denver. I really enjoyed this one. Pours with a hazed yellow to orange body with a small white head. Great lace. Aromas are estery and hugely fruit (stone fruit, peaches and hints of tropical fruit). Light vanilla and a hint of phenol. Flavors of guava, stone fruit, peaches, mango, estery, tangerine and dried apricot. Dry, medium to light bubbles. Very nice.

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 onceblind (1622) - Denver, Colorado, USA - SEP 27, 2011
On tap at brewery. Hazy bright gold with a unique spicy peach aroma. Fruity aroma with a slightly funky yeasty pale malt aroma--love it! Flavor has a nice soft palate with a full flavor and modestly lingering finish. Delightful flavor of peaches, fruity Belgo yeast funk (which is just a little too sharp), ending on a dryish pale malt tone with a finish of peachy Belgo funk. A marvelous peach ale, but not an incredible saison. But a good beer, guidelines be damned.
