3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 Newk (299) - - JAN 23, 2012UPDATED: AUG 20, 2012 had on tap at haymarket. Poured into a tulip. Pours a very light and clear gold color that doesn’t fully look like a saison.
very good aromas of spices, citrus aromas and some bits of florals. Not too much depth either, but with good citrus based aromas.
Medium bodied with a real good feel and solid flavors of citrus, spices, and oranges. The feel is very good and more what I expected from a saison.
This is a good saison, but certainly not one of the best I’ve had. Good depth of flavor and nice feel, but the look and aromas are lacking a bit.

2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 7/20 msante79 (2127) - Mount Prospect, Illinois, USA - OCT 22, 2011
Sampler at brewpub. Pours pale golden with little white head. Aromas of grain, citrus, and some grassy hops. Flavor is not working for me. Grainy with some citrus and very harsh hops. Not bitter harsh, almost like a chemical harshness. Couldn’t even finish the 4oz pour.
