On Draft at P town brewpub 2009. Aroma: Very aromatic. Lemon, orange rind and floral hops
Flavor: Long citrus and lemon finish that has no harsh bitterness.
Comments: This was the best of the batch with definite complexity in aroma and flavor. Outstanding on draft. I found it very good from the bottle (about 38-9 points), though not this good.

750mL opens with a pours a cloudy yellow/golden with a huge foamy white head. Aroma of yeast spice, fruits, citrus, lemon zest, and cotton candy. Taste hits sweet and stops short into a dry bitterness. Just when I think the Yeast is going to be overbearing the hops kick in and the bitterness rides to a dry finish. Nice!

poured from 750 into a tulip. Pours a medium gold color with a very good head.
Very good aromas of spices, florals, citrus tones and some navel oranges. Good depth as well.
Medium/full bodied with a deliciously smooth feel. Balanced with very good flavors of spices, florals and navel oranges.
This was a real quality saison. On the more citrusy side as opposed to the funkier side.

750 ml bottle from whole foods. Pours a murky copper color with a big fluffy white head that has crazy lacing and great retention. The aroma is that of a classic saison with yeast, apples, pears, and peppery spices. The taste is similar to the nose with ample fruitiness, some bitter almonds, apples, pears, pepper and hay. The palate is full and smooth with lively carbonation. Finishes long and dry. Overall: A fine saison, very tasty.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle; Pour is murky gold with a whispy white head in this glass; cobweb style lacing is present; This one has some grains, tropical fruits, and mild spices on the nose. The flavor profile is more tropical fruits, caramel sweetness, light bitterness; florals, grains, light spice, fruit esters, grassy hops... This is a pretty nice one overall; but its lacking the belgian notes that I’m looking for.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Delicious and interesting beer. Sweet fruit notes reminiscent of pears, grapes, limes and tangerines, and they blend wonderfully with the malt notes of bread, biscuits and grapenuts cereal. Hops provide hints of grass and spices, and they complement the earthy yeast esters nicely. Tastes like it even has some kaffir lime leaves in there. Balanced bitterness. Pleasant beer.
