(22oz bottle, courtesy of BMan1113VR) Pours a cloudy golden body with a medium of-white head. Aroma of mustiness, herbs, band-aid, sulfur, and smoke. Flavor of smoke, burnt grain, band aid, charred banana peel, and medicinal with a dry finish. Some serious quality issues.

Bottle pours slightly opaque copper with gold hues and lasting semi loose off white head. The aroma starts with apple and apple skin followed by spicy saisin yeast that I have a tough time putting descriptive words to and then a mild acidic note and funkiness. The taste is interesting with a mix of sweet apple, tarter tannin like fruit skins, yeasty spices and then some funk and mild rauch malts to peatiness too. Interesting. So at times it gets sort of plastic with the peat and the smoke and at other times more funky. I like the oddness of this beer.

hazy gold, large bubbled thin white head. Light celery and sage, bit of pineapple and cleaning solution. Flavor is more grainy, cleaning, green apps skin finish. Thin high carbonation. Bit too chemical.

651mL thanks to beerandblues2. Oh joy, another Hermitage beer. Towering, super carbonated pour yields a four-five finger white head with good lacing. Sparkling gold pour. Nose is celery with lemon detergent. Taste is sugar with fake mango flavoring. Chalky palate with strange hoppy astringency. Oddly bitter for style.

Sweet and slightly phenolic nose with lots of apple juice. Stale dull grainy malt, slight vegetal notes. Bleh.

Bottle. Pours clear golden orange with a small, fizzy white head, short retention with light lacing. Aroma is celery, barnyard, light citrus zest, straw and hay malt, and fruity esters. Flavor is malt forward with light hops and medium bitterness, fruity esters, barnyard and celery notes with a dry finish.

Bottle. Pours pale yellow with thin, fizzy white head; short retention and minimal lacing. Aroma is biscuit malt, green vegetables, straw, and grassy notes. Flavor is mostly malt with some fruit esters and faint hops and spices; dry finish. Light body, medium carbonation, and low warmth.

A good saison. Nothing too interesting, but smooth taste. Hoppy finish. Had in a bottle. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

bandaids, bandaids and more bandaids. and some stinging acetone in the back palate to round it out. maybe one door is secretly white birch.

650ml bottle. Pours a cloudy dark yellow color with a big fluffy white head that had good retention and exhibits some lacing. The aroma is mild with dust, peppery spices and some faint Saison yeast. The flavor is lightly spicy with pepper, thyme and bitter orange peel. The palate is uneven starting thin but closing pasty, and the carbonation is soft. Finishes short and dry. Overall: A rather nice dry spicy saison, not fancy, not mind blowing, just simple and good.

bottle pours light gold with a thick white head. Aroma is wheat, bubblegum, big floral honey notes. Flavor is light pale grain, almost gritty buckwheat with big saison yeast notes that are floral but also sting the pallet with grassy/metallic notes. Not bad.
