3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20UPDATED: JUN 21, 2011 Bought a sixer of this about 6 weeks ago, and it’s already started to go downhill. Cloudy golden brew with a medium body, the yeast and funk and moderate spice come across initially but there’s not enough depth to this. A bit of candy, some mild fruits and grassy goodness, but it’s ephemeral and gets lost somewhat quickly. Enjoyable but middling.

12oz bottle - pours pale orange with white head and thin lacing. Nose is yeasty and floral. Flavor adds golden ale qualities in the hops department. Caramel. Medium body boozy aftertaste. I’m starting to think I don’t like this style with a few exceptions. Mildly sweet.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Best before January 2013.
Appearance: The body is a clear amber hue with a tall white head, poor retention but leaves lacing clinging to the sides of the glass.
Aroma: The aroma is a bit restrained, but is fruity and a bit sweet. Malts and a slightly medicinal cherry and banana aroma come to mind with a touch of earthy spices.
Taste: This is bursting with malty and fruity flavors from the first sip. Sweet malts, cherry dum dum pop flavor, banana and a bit of cloves. The flavor is thick and sweet with a lingering light spice.
Palate: Medium to thick body, full texture, moderate carbonation.
Overall: I very much enjoy this, I love the fruity flavors and the spice balances this a bit. If this were in the $9 for a six pack range I’d buy this through the summer.

Not bad, not great. The nose is sweet malt and a touch of barn. The beer is a golden color with a tightly packed white foam head. The taste is sweet with a balanced floral and citrus hop profile and notes of barn yard funk. Smooth with a very balanced finish.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Poured a clear golden color with a decent white head. Aroma is apples, bananas, nuts, and a light cinnamon sweetness. Taste is almost like hefeweizen with a bit of a bite to it. Not bad.

Bottle into a goblet. Aroma is of candy and fruit. Pour is a orange gold with a fine head. Taste is a mix of malt, fruit and candy. Finish is a nice clean malt after taste.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a golden red. Aroma is banana esters. Taste is candied sugar followed by slight spice. Not as wild as most saisons. But that's okay for me

Surprising! Expected a typical re ale but what I got was a fruity Belgian style ale that is more trippel than ale. Very fruity and full.

Bottle. Hazy straw golden with small white lace that fades. Nose is fairly sweet, slightly cloying, notes of clove, banana, spice, candi sugar. Flavor is sweet, lightly boozy, no crispness, sort of a flabby palate. Meh.

A mix of bread and spices in aroma. The flavor is spices, bread and a hoppiness that leads into the finish.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. A fairly simplistic and overly sweet beer. Does not have much belgian saison character though belgian yeast, esters and body characters are present. It’s hazy orange and smells sugary sweet and malty with ripe orange and banana aromas. Flavor is little vegetal and peppery at the end. Medium sticky body with not much carbonation. The alcohol is hid well.
