3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle courtesy of Darrell at the recent Fantome mega-tasting. Served in a Fantome tulip. Reviewed from notes.
Pours a nice golden color with a bit of an apricot hue. Nice white head with some ringy lacing on the way down. The nose brings forward a good dosing of lemon and citrus plus a bit of light earth. Mild acidity to the flavor along with lemon and citrus. Almost like a Saison d’Erezee Ete-light. Light body with great carbonation. Winner all around.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle; Pour is murky golden with a very nice, fine bubbled off white head in this glass. The nose is sweet grains, lemongrass, apricot, and a hint of farmhouse. The flavor profile is more sweet grains - there is a hop bitterness present, though light. There’s more lemon - lemon peel and grassy hops really.. with more fresh fruits - its quenching - though there is a slightly odd aftertaste here - this is a nice saison.

Thanks mom! Pours a cloudy peachy amber with some chunklets and two fingers of dense creamy offwhite head. Wonderful nose, smells like a light bread dough and flowers with a lightly citric note and spicy quality. Flavor and body/mouthfeel are just awesome. Full with a spicy/citrus rind bitterness and lightly grassy quality. Mild malt sweetness well balanced by a peppery and spicy yeast/hop character. Full body and coating palate with a soft and velvety body. Give me more.

Bottle to snifter. Pours hazy pale orange with a big tight soapy white head that fades to a soapy film. Aroma has pepper and spice with plenty of yeast all around. Taste is chalky dry and shows pepper bubblegum (juicyfruit) and bitter hops and some lemon peel as well. Palate is medium and fizzy with a drying chalky finish. I enjoyed this, tasty!

4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle shared by MrPickles...thanks Andy! - Pours hazy light amber with a thin off-white head. Skunky nose, light tropical fruit, wheat, a touch of mint, and all sorts of spices that I have no idea what they are. Taste is much more mellow, with light spicing, earthy hops, lots of grain, juicy tropical fruit, and a light skunky finish. Feels like velvet in the mouth. Wow...awesome stuff.

750ml bottle at Madison Thanksgiving tasting 2011. Hazy, golden tan. Thin off-white head. Some pale malt and funky Belgian yeast in the aroma. A lemony sour Belgian Pale Ale, with lots of interesting subtleties and nuances. Dry, earthy hop bitterness, with a balancing fruity Belgian yeast tone. Subtle herbal lemon action. A really nice beer, really hides the alcohol well.
