Tap at ncbc. Pours a slightly hazy pale gold with a loose white head. Smells a little barnyardy at first but then goes over to grassy. Odd. Creamy medium body with soft carb, maybe a little flabby. Corn on the mid palate. Not a very effective interpretation of a saison.

Sweet and a little floral aroma with a golden color and small white head. Ooh. Nice. Little dry pear taste with a zingy after feel. I would very much like to see more saisons from San Diego. I know hops is king down there but lets try something new. Green Flash did a good job. Would drink this with a burger by the beach.

12 ounce bottle. Yellow, opaque, white layer of residue on top. Grain and citrus in the aroma. Full, yeasty, bready, citrusy and peppery taste. heavy side of light bodied. Crisp and refreshing. Overall it seems pretty traditional, covering all the bases of an old farmhouse ale saison. Ok stuff.

A funky, yeasty, spent firework aroma. Fairly mild flavor; light body, minimal aftertaste. Average carbonation. No bitterness, very pleasing flavor. Nice; one of my favorite saison.

Pint at the Winking Lizard Grandview on 5/15/13. Clear yellow to gold in color with a thick white head. Funk and apricot nose with slight citrus and banana. Malty flavor with banana and funk and some herbal character before a sweet finish.

Bottle at craft ale house. Pours hazy yellow with a small white head. The aroma has a lot of lemon peel, orange rind, coriander, peppercorn. The taste is lemon and spiciness with a moist finish compared to most Saison.
