750 ml bottle. Poured a slightly cloudy blonde color with a thinnish head. Aroma is flowery and citrusy. Flavor is slightly tart and fruity, but is very subtle. Nothing about this brew is overpowering, but it was very drinkable.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 JugOPunch (83) - Nashua, New Hampshire, USA - APR 3, 2006
750 ml bottle: A citrus almost vinous aroma and slightly tart. A great sunburst orange pour. The taste was citrus and a bit ciderish with a mild carbonation. As it warmed, the cider character mellowed out and it became a smooth citrus and slightly spicy treat. Good body and mouthfeel. Not much alcohol presence except a touch in the beginning. Very good.

3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20 murrayswine (101) - Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, USA - MAR 27, 2006
Bear with me, this is my first Saison.
The Aroma hit me like an herbal freight train. Extremely heady and sharp. Sharp tones of green olives and vinegar.
A golden brew with a good fog and a tight, clean, cotton head. The head stayed tight and you can see yeast floating in the glass.
On the tasting I was hit with an overpowering coriander and citrus zest. I can taste the superior craft in this beer, but wit the spice in it, you might as well add a lemon to a hefe weisen and call it even. The mouth feel is light and nice with a silk finish. If you like heady HW’s, then go for it.

Poured a hazy amber with a large frothy white head. Aroma of flowers, vinous fruits, cinnamon, ginger. Taste is very dry with some light citrus and ginger. Mild alcohol burn. Body is somewhat full and not as carbonated as I would like it to be. Pretty good saison.

The aroma reminds me of candy? It pours a rich blond with a thick white head. The flavor is very floral up front with a dry bitter finish. Maybe a bit too floral for me?
