2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Draught at the brewery. Almost clear body, golden orange. small white head. Aroma of fruit, taste quite weak. Not great, boring finish.
1.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 3/20
A - Pours hazy pale straw with a half inch whit head that is very active and sinks quickly into nothing.
S - Yeast, sulpher, damp hay, orange and lemon zest, gala apples,
T - Lots of sweet orange, lemon, and apples. Sweet wheat, thin sugary sweet fruit flavors.
M - Fizzy carbonation, thin body. It feels like zots candy on your tongue. Finish kind of stings the back of the throat.
Great aroma not so great flavors. Everything seems bland with added sucrose.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 oz. bottle at Rye & Thyme - Leominster, MA. Nose is slightly grassy with notes of funk. Taste is a bread malts, flower petals, grassy notes and real light yeast tones. Some nice banana and bubblegum tones. Maybe even apples. Wheat yest is decent. Overall it’s not going to really impress a hardcore saison drinker but it’s a nice lighter, easy to drink example of the style.

On tap. Pours a medium gold with decent white head. Nose is skunk and yeast. Moderate carbonation with a clean, yeasty taste. Faint hint of the high abv. Good finish. Nice warm weather beer.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Appearance: Very hazy light golden color, almost yellow, had a small white head that faded very quickly Aroma: bread, sour, tart, citrus, lime?, very strong Taste: tart, moderately sour, hints of bitterness Palate: high c02 burn, high froth, leaves a bitter and sour aftertaste, Overall: this is a strong abv beer for such light color, you do get some alcohol notes coming thru, I really like this beer I wish we got it in LA

Full of taste and character, this Saison is exceptional and should not passed by. Cheers!
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A hazed blonde saison with a thick frothy lacing white head. In aroma, a sweet fruity malt with light banana esters, light soapy notes, grassy and creamy. In mouth, a smooth fruity honey malt with loads of bananas, apples, orange pulp, a bit oxidized, but still good. Light alcohol warmth in finale, with light Belgian hops lingering.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Tap sample.
Cloudy yellow color with a small white head.
Yeasty nose, with some funk, tart lemon peel and faint hops.
Citrusy sweet flavors, tartness, earth, some vommit and low bitterness.
Not balanced, not very impressive and hard to drink.
