Apr 5, 2008 Clear golden color with a soft white head, good retention and lacing. Aromas of hay, lemon, must, cantelope, honeydew, and some pears. Grassy and musty at the beginning but some of the fruits mentioned in the aroma join in shortly thereafter. Earthy and fruity in the finish. Medium carbonation and body. Another great Saison from Fantome.

Apr 1, 2008 From a 750-ml bottle--Poured a bright golden-amber body with a big, bouncy white head. Yeasty, hoppy, earthy nose. Lost of natural spiciness. No way is this 8% ABV. Smooth, crisp and well balanced.

Mar 30, 2008 750 bottle capped and corked shows little carbonation and virtually no head at all. color is a lightly hazed caramel amber. aroma has sweet tartness, yeast spice, light hay, and must. nose is nice to take in developing more fruit. taste is initially on the tart and acidic side but after a few sips sets in. thin body with spicy yeast, sweetness, sour green apple, some tartness, and fermented cherry. finishes with dry tartness and spices hanging on the taste buds for a minute. an interesting and unique brew that grew on me as the bottle was enjoyed.

Mar 24, 2008 750 ml bottle, very little carbonation behind the cork, pours with a light head, minimal lacing. Smells predominantly of strawberries, followed by ripe pineapple and apricot. Taste is tangy, not quite sour, fruity,almost like a reisling wine. No alcohol vapors evident. Drinkable and nice.
Pastor (509), Maine, USA
Mar 16, 2008 Bottle poured into my Duval tulip produced a wonderful hazy apricot colored body topped off with a short lived white bubbly head
Aromas of funk, fruit (oranges strawberries and bananas) and spice fill your nose. Wow this is a fun beer
Flavor on this one is a bit sour which is to be expected but you get apple oranges and a ton of fruit grant you the flavors are not for everyone but I like it
Mouthfeel is clean and light the carbonation is all but nonexistent
Very drinkable made me wish for summer will grab another one for sure
