COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The beer you are holding is unique. A special strain of yeast and a warm fermentation produces a beer of exceptional flavor and aroma. An extended secondary maturation and bottle conditioning ensures all these unique qualities are preserved and evolve over time. Serve at 50°F in a tulip glass.

What to expect
This tawny orange beer pours with a rocky white head. Aromas of passion fruit, tangerine, and black pepper hit the nose. Flavor is a cascade of orange, lemon verbena, ginger and pepper. And in a second it is gone, finishing with a dry and lingering bitterness that awaits another sip.

Cellaring Information
Store upright in a dark dry place at cellar temperature (ideally at 50 degree). Cellar limit is 2 years.

Yum! Draft at the brewery. Slightly hazy golden yellow pour. Funky fruity and a hint of citrus in the nose and again in the taste - very nice!

dbarnold (1073) - Bethesda, Maryland, USA - APR 11, 2013
Straight forward saison that had nothing special about it. Grassy, light in taste. Cloudy body. Heavily carbonated. Nothing wrong but would like it to be a bit dryer.

750 ml bottle shared by DrSilverworm. Pours a mostly clear golden color with a medium sized off white head. The aroma is fruity citrus, herbal, light funk, pale malts with a dry grassy character. The flavor has much of the same characteristics; citrus, grass, funk, dry malts with a mild honey sweetness. Solid, but not spectacular.

RABinVA (681) - Fredericksburg, Virginia, USA - APR 2, 2013
Bottle from adnielsen! Tasted this at the brewery before but didn’t rate, so glad to have this chance! Poured into a tulip. Hazy golden head with a huge pillow of white head. Little bit of sheeting. Aroma is tart and sweet with a good dose of pepper and a bit of funk. Taste is pepper, orange, tart. Finishes slightly puckering and dry. Lasting tropical flavors.

Beerman6686 (3125) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 25, 2013
This poured a murky yellow color with a white head. Aroma was spicey, peppery, and light grains. Flavor was similar, light tart and spicey, grassy but a bit bland and similar to a lot of others in the style.

Iphonephan (1196) - Virginia, USA - MAR 14, 2013
From a 75 cl bottle shared in Breckenridge CO. Pours a hazy gold with a massive snow white head. Lemon notes in the nose. Bread dough, lemon and orange zest and peppery note. Quite nice.

Golden with white head. Aroma is a bit funky. Taste is bland, a bit tart, a bit funky, but not that tasty. Not impressed.

Doofgoblin (127) - Fort Collins, Colorado, USA - MAR 1, 2013
This is awesome! Aroma is citrus, floral, hint of banana with some yeast notes as well. It’s a cloudy golden pour with a white head that doesn’t linger but clings to the glass. Taste is awesome. Fruity, yeasty, smooth and sweet with some slight sour funk notes. It really matures on your palate. The strange sour funk"ness" is what makes this taste so interesting. It’s refreshing and complex at the same time. Love it.

Clear straw pour. Estery barnyard yeast aromas which continue thru the taste. Ends reasonably clean and dry. Not my favorite, but very on-style for a saison.
