Peachy and sort of copper colored, but it could have been the lighting, it’s quite dark at the pub. It had a stricking white mousse sprinkled with big bubbles that created little craters when they burst.
Most definately their usual Saison house yeast, it has a great bready aroma with a lot of freshness to it.
More of a Fantôme-like earthyness and minerality (did they spike their water with something?) that I really enjoyed, however the aftertaste was a little too neutral. It is as if the flavors hit your tongue and then suddenly dilute themselves to nothing once you throw your sit down your throat. It’s not dry, the falvors simply...vanish. It’s still good, but alas, DDC’s search for the truely earth-shattering saison recipe still continues...It’s just a matter of time.

Jul 21, 2008 Tap at VBF, off white head, nose of rye. This beer reallys shows it’s grains. I had this outside on a really hot afternoon and it was perfect.

Feb 24, 2008 Tap at the brewpub. Very malty, light spice aroma, grains of paradise, rye. Chewy, muddled, not too saison-y. Flavor is dry and malty, kind of extract tasting, very husky, lots of wheat. Tastes more like an American Wheat. I didn’t know this was a rye saison when I was drinking it, I guess that’s perhaps why it doesn’t really come across as a saison at all.

Feb 18, 2008 O tap at D.D.C. The color is a hazy blonde with an off white head. The taste is of spicies and malt with some bitterness, also added is a taste of fruits mostly apples.

Feb 14, 2008 On tap at DDC. Zest orange aroma. Cloudy yellowish orange, medium white head. Great zesty citrus taste with a neat malt background. Spicy. Good refreshing stuff.
