Nice fruit aroma with a cloudy golden pour. The taste was sharp and full of fruit and spice. Lasting crispness that finished dry and full. Good Saison

BillWyce (367) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 26, 2012
From notes: Poured hazy straw color with a huge, pillowy white head. Aroma was strongly earthy with yeast funk and mild lemon. Body light, medium thickness. Slight dryness to the finish. Flavors are light- grassy and earthy yeast with a touch of lemon in the finish. A nice change from other holiday releases. Very drinkable.

750 ml caged and corked bottle, 2011 printed on the cork. Served in a Unibroue tulip, the beer pours a cloudy gold color with a couple inch frothy off-white head. Head retention is excellent, and there’s a decent amount of lacing. Aroma is fruity and yeasty, it smells like apricots, lemon peel, hay, peppery spice and some banana. Taste is similar to the aroma, the brew tastes like hay, peppery spice, lemon and orange peel, pears, earth and some bready malt. There’s more bitterness in this brew than I was expecting. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it’s a bit slick and creamy, and is very well carbonated. The 9.5% ABV isn’t very noticeable at all. I liked this brew, I’d recommend this one to others. $11.49 a bottle.

weihenweizen (759) - Charleston Area, West Virginia, USA - MAY 5, 2012
Refrigerated 75 cl green bottle poured into a trappist glass. Pours hazy pale golden with bright white head. Some big bubble lacing, light body, suspended yeast, well carbonated, and citrus aroma. Taste is estery ( mostly citrus), yeast, hint of skunk (lessens as it warms), and light bitter dry finish. Great saison, alcohol well covered, but still expected a little more.
