| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 25, 2009 Bottle courtesy of DeputyAndy. Smells of apples and funk. Peppery and refined sediments. Taste is of sour pears. Milky mouth feel. Basically every fruit is detectable if you really look for it. An excellent use of saltiness (rarely done well IMO), sourness and also sweet! Very well thought out and well crafted brew lb4lb (2011), Austin, Texas, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 18, 2009 Bottle shared at tasting. Thanks! Pours bright orange and glowing with a thin head. Smell is fruity, strawberries and yeast with funkiness. Taste is spiced, coriander, faint strawberry fruitiness, and some cherry perhaps too. Medium body and soft carbonation. Definitely a unique Saison and enjoyable. MaltOMeal (652), Land of Sugar, Texas, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 15, 2009 Updated: May 21, 2009750ml bottle. Pours a cloudy, pale yellow with a white head. Nose was slight skunk, orange peel and funky barnyard. Taste was like alka seltzer in soda water. Some really sweet orange and lemon soda water. Mouthfeel is tart and fizzy with lots of carbonation and a dry aftertaste. A little disappointed as I had been wanting to try this for some time and it didn’t measure up to what I was expecting.

| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Mar 13, 2009 Perfect body. Nice thick white head with tons of sediment. Very hazy. Very thin yet complex nose; first sweet with a tartness to it. Rich deep flavor that is very citrusy in a mild and rounded way. Very good carbonation. The lingering head allows for a nice crisp foam taste in your mouth. Perfectly rounded for the amount of citrus flavor in this beer. Pick this up if you see it. jredmond (1027), New Jersey, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Mar 13, 2009 Bottle. Split with DeputyAndy. Pours a dark cloudy orange with a thick white head. Aroma is complex - sweet, tart, coriander interweaving. Taste is great - the most citrus and orange I’ve ever tasted in a single beer, and done in a good way.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 26, 2009 Very good saison, my favorite from this brewery so far. Pours a gazy gold with slight tinge of orange and a fluffy white head. Sweet and fruity, with a balanced pepper and funkiness. Lemon grass, apple, cherries, fruity esters. Good brew, and easy to drink.
