Dec 30, 2007 Sampled at theisti’s Holiday tasting. Poured a hazy gold. Plenty of carbonation and an off white head. Nice clove/coriander yeast aromas with some malts. Great mouthfeel. A little sugary sweetness. Dry, slightly spicy finish with a little alcohol coming through. I didn’t write much down when I was drinking it, but I really enjoyed it!

Dec 29, 2007 Updated: Jan 3, 2009750 ml bottle from PhillyBeer2112 enjoyed at my Holiday Mini Tasting. Pour is hazy gold yellow with a 1/2 inch off white head. Aroma of very full yeastiness, hay and developed earthiness. Floral, honey, and melon notes as well. Really layered and fulling engaging nose. Taste of hay, beautiful layers of earthiness and a mild sweet caramel booziness to the finish. Loved this beer, though the booziness to the finish left it a bit short of perfect. Thanks for this one Dan.

Dec 29, 2007 Draft at Capone’s. Poured a murky light golden orange with a spare off-white head. Aroma of grass and straw from the yeast. Taste of a bittering hop with some lemon sweet citrus and slight tart. Medium bodied. Not bad, but not worth the hype.

Dec 25, 2007 750 ml bottle. This saison got my attention from the first sniff and kept it through the last swallow. Appealing frothy white head that sticks around. The body is cloudy dark yellow. The first impression from the aroma is smoke and funk from the yeast. That’s followed with notes of bread and grain, alcohol, caramel and lemon. The flavor is lightly sweet, moderately bitter and moderately acidic. Medium body. Smooth mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Nice warming in the finish. Very nice.

Dec 25, 2007 Pours light golden color with soft, bubbly white head. Yeasty aroma with ample spice- coriander, peppery notes, candied sugar, sour apple, citrus, and a bit of alcohol astringency as it warms. Some barnyard yeast reminiscent of a lambic is also present. Flavor initially carries bready and sweet malt notes, but finishes dry and spicey. Really unique balance is achieved both in the flavor and in the palate, which is at once creamy and dry.
