Oct 29, 2006 Bottle: Clear gold in color with a white head. Aroma, very funky lemon, and light fruits, but the funk was just too much. Flavor, green apple lemon and a whole ton of funk. I don’t know if this bottle was a bit skunked or what, but it was too much for me, and I usally enjoy the occasional funky beer.

Oct 25, 2006 Bottle at the brewery (brillaint place), a slight haze to the golden colour with a white frothy head. A strong hop aroma of apple and pears. Very ciderish at the front of the mouth, but smooth and more malty in the finish. Different.

Oct 21, 2006 Pours a hazy pale yellow color with lots of bubbly fizz. Aroma lemon and dough. Flavor is very sour and citrusy, specifically lemon and grapefruit. Overall, light and enjoyable but a tad too sour.

Oct 16, 2006 Bottle, generously provided by Terdferguson. Good aroma, I guess, Spiced. Clove, coriander, lemon, banana. Got that scent I can only dscribe as a burnt out flourescent light ballast as it warmed. Hazed golden orange color, Big head & good lace. Bitter sour flavor. I got an initial sweetness that was quickly buried by the sour funk. Like aroma with some grapefruit thrown in. Man the sour funk just grows as it warms. Medium body, lite smooth creamy mouthfeel, Funky sour finish. When cold the spice was kind of nice, as it warmed the funk just killed me, but this is what saison people tell me it’s all about. I don’t know how you do it.

Oct 9, 2006 A very good saison. Some traditional and funky elements to it. Mike got a bottle for my birthday at Hopleaf to split. Some lemon, spice, and yeast on the nose, with lemon, white pepper, corriander, banana, honey, grapefruit, and something else spicey that I couldn’t put my finger on. Some good funky flavor, which I attribute to the yeast, as it wasn’t like the cheese or fish flavors of a geuze, but still different and enjoyable.

Sep 30, 2006 Bottle - 750ml. Hazy blond body with a thin white creamy head. Fresh hoppy aroma with herbal, flowery, and honeyish notes. Texture is soft (very low carbonation) and taste is dominated by hoppy and herbal flavors. Leaves a good bitter/sour aftertaste. Enjoyable Saison.

Sep 23, 2006 Pours very hazy yellow/orange with a small white. Aroma of sweet and sour citrus fruits, spices, and white wine qualities. Flavor follows with nice fruity sweetness taste up front, nice lemon like bitterness in the body which carries into a dry white wine like finish. Alcohol is evident, but I don’t think that’s really ever a bad thing unless it’s too strong or throws off the balance of the beer. Palate is medium, bitter and dry, again like a glass of wine. Glad I was able to find this in NJ. Unique and enjoyable.
