3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20Surprisingly good, especially given the Dogfish Head heritage. Many times these brews are "interesting" but not truly good. This one is nice.

Bottle from Wegmans Sterling - pours a clear orange with a finger of white head. Aroma is complex, wheaty, funky, apple, lemon grass, and seriously some spaghetti notes - oregano? Taste is sweet, with a sour tart bite, but it’s nowhere near lambic sour, for folks who like that. Overall, very nice!

It's been three years since I graduated from the Handsome Boy Modeling School. And this beer's poured from a 750 into a Duvel Snifter. Pours a light yellow with light head and smooth white lacing. Fruity, spicy, Belgian aroma. Mouthfeel is ridiculously light for a 9%. Taste is Saison with lemon yeast bubblegum spice mild pine and pith. I was worried this would be too spiced but it was subdued and well blended. Too expensive to drink regularly but pretty good.

Westmeister’s Birthday Beer Tasting Extravaganza Beer #3. This was the beer where the casual drinker’s started asking, "wait, this is beer?" Poured the color of commercial bread crust. Alcohol and passion fruit were all over the nose. There was enough bitterness in the flavor to balance out the fruity sweetness. Very fizzy with a smooth finish. Bottle - Source Unknown

750 ml bottle. Pours cloudy cantaloupe with a medium collapsing off-white big-bubbly head. Aroma consists of apples, Belgian yeast. Description up there says this is loosely based on the witbier style, but that is the dominant flavor, even over the cider. It’s sweet, savory, lightly tart, finishing dry. The cayenne is very light, only barely revealing itself in the finish, providing a little heat. I’m not getting the cilantro, and I don’t know what farro tastes like, so I couldn’t tell you if it’s in there or not. Alcohol is almost completely hidden. It’s hard to believe this is 9%. Carbonation is fine, body a little thin. Overall, a good, not great beer. I wish the cayenne and cilantro were more prominent.

This is a medium-light bodied beer that is quite refreshing. Flavor is a spicy apple and grape. Very smooth on the tongue.

The most notable thing here is the spicy finish. It's warm and complements the lighter flavor of the rest of the beer very well. It's flavorful, but doesn't go out of it's way to be an experience outside of the transition from the light fruit hints to the spice at the finish. All in all a good one trick beer that I would drink again any time. Good for all occassions.

Bottle pour clear yellow with champagne bubbles. Nose of clove, spice, caramel malt ,and esters. Taste the same, with some early sweetness. The ending is a little weird, earthy, mineral, then bitter. Didn’t get the cilantro or cider. Very saison like.

Refrigerated 75 cl brown bottle obained through trade with watson1977 poured into a white wine glass. Pours clear golden with big fluffy white head. Little lacing, light body, low carbonation, and yeasty aroma. Taste is coriander, cayenne pepper, herbal, some apple, and spice. The ingredients don’t meld for me, pass.

Draft at craft ale house. Pours semi clear yellow with a big white, fluffy head. There is solid Retention. The aroma has a nice belgian yeast aroma worth some lemon and spice. Very Saison like. The taste had some citrusy lemon and orange up front followed by some spicy pepper and a less dry than expected finish. Nice.
2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 4/20
Aroma of spice with hints of fruit. Pours a light clear yellow with mostly lasting white head and moderate laciing. The taste starts out like a Hefe, then spice kicks in and then goes to a grainy blandness, with more spice, and hints of apple in the finish and aftertaste. Medium-light body and soft carbonatin. Overall, glad I tried it, but I won’t try it again.
