Sample on tap at Vintage Estates. Pours a slightly hazy amber with a decent-sized, fizzy head. Aromas are spices, lemon and grass, without the buttery sweetness that drives me away from some of the other saisons. Flavor is nice enough, but I’m thinking that saisons aren’t my cup of beer, so to speak. It is fairly light, driven by the grass and light fruit, but rather uninspiring as far as I am concerned. It is strange to me that this is 9.5%... you would never guess it from the flavor.

Hazy light orange beer with a large lazing head. The aroma is typical saison with malty notes and hints of spices, belgian yeast and citrus. The flavor is rather light and malty sweet with hints of some funky ripe fruits. Very typical saison which is not the type of saison I prefer. I’ll have to get another for storing...

On tap at the Flying Saucer. Gold in color and a little hazy with a decent sized white head. Aroma is of hops, heavy spices and fruit. Taste is of fruit, citrus, and spices with a decent alcohol warmth.

On tap at the Flying Saucer in Ft. Worth. The look is murky, copper colored, decent off white head. The smell is yeast, spices, fruit, lemon, and orange. The taste is yeasty, fruits, spices, wheat, decent alcohol burn at the end.

375ml Bottle. Smells of wheat and alcohol. Fruity and a bit sour taste. A bit to high alcohol.

Bottle: Hazy yellow colour, with a nice creamy head. Aroma of citrus, flowers, sournes, som maltynes in the end. Flavor is fruity, citric, flowery, and a nice citric/sweet mix in the end. Medium to full body, and a nice medium fruity/sweet/citric finish. This is a great beer!!

Draft tulip at FRTH, Denver. Poured with a nice golden appeal and a nice esthery nose. It drinks with a bubble-gummy spiciness, and ends with a stark dry finish. (#3512, 2/19/2009)

Bottle. Very good, but I like the regular better. The holiday spices were good. Nice and floral. Alcohol seemed to be a bit more present in this version.
