| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 28, 2009 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. Joakgust (324), Stockholm, Sweden
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 27, 2009 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... jkwalking05 (1483), Arlington, Texas, USA

Smells of wheat and alcohol. Fruity and a bit sour taste. A bit to high alcohol. Furseth (1328), Kungälv, Sweden

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 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.
