Jul 16, 2008 Bottle at the Shenandoah Beer Throwdown, and I wish I could remember who brought it. Large, white, champagne-like, fizzy head, with big bubbles, orange color. Aroma is champagne, light fruit, some honey. Flavor is spicy, apple?, somewhat sour, tart.

Jul 16, 2008 Bottle. Frothy white good mostly deminishing head. Orange colour. Light malty moderate hoppy aroma. Slightly cheasy flavor, moderate bitter. Very fruity. Average finish. Oily palate. Strange but nice.

Jul 15, 2008 Bottle, shared by bstill, I think. Thanks Brian! Nose had some definite honey, wheat, yeast, and a bit of butter. Flavor was similar with a lot of yeast and honey. Pretty good, but not my favorite saison flavors.

Jul 15, 2008 750 mL bottle. It pours a nice golden yellow color with an aroma of honey, pepper, and very slight spice. It tastes of the funky sweetness of a spicy beer brewed with a whole bunch of honey. Light and enjoyable for an 8% beer. Finish is very sweet and does not last, but enjoyable while it is there. Good stuff, not easy to find.
