4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 Dickinsonbeer (5075) - Hoboken, New Jersey, USA - SEP 8, 2011Bottle thanks to Jay for sharing. Pours a slight hazed golden straw yellow with a massive white head great retention and lace and high yet soft tight carbonation. Aroma is big spicy phenolic with light toasty bready malts, crisp craxker, light sea form, slight dandelion and grepass, the floral dandelion flowers have faded since the day it was brewed but the grassines is still present, also a nice dried hay earthiness is apparent for some reason. Flavor is light airy toast, bread, cracker, clean maltiness, earthy phenolic notes, hay, grass, dandelion is extreme sublte, honey is fermented away so that is extreme subtle too. Finish is very dry crisp clean and airy phenolic and refreshing with its high carbonation.

Thanks to thirdeye11 for sharing this bottle. Rating No. 4,000.
Pours a yellow color with a white head. The aroma is very complex. At first I get some wheat and dandelions, but those notes are complimented by some grass and Belgian yeast. I also get some honey character in the aroma. The flavor is a bit different but equally enjoyable. I get some lightly tart lemon notes as well as some yeast, floral dandelion character and wheat. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Excellent.

Well it is better than pissenlit. It is what I would expect pissenlit shoud taste like. Some dandellion bitterness that acts as hops.

Bomber. Big thanks to KyotoLefty. Cucumbers, peppers, and fresh cabbage nose. Psychedelic yellow, with a strong persistent white head. Extremely lively from the minute it reaches your lips. Tart fruit and knife edges of bitterness. Wow! This is some substantial stuff. Not as extreme as some of their other brews. Great!

Bottle shared by KyotoLefty at Qbrick’s 8th Anniversary party, thanks alot! Wow, just wow. This is one of those genre busting beers, it poured a wonderful straw gold with a wonderful fluffy eggshell head of foam... the aroma was very zesty, reminiscent of white wine. This beer blew us all away, the taste was sweet and tart. Very refreshing, excellent!

Big thanks to Nat for the pour. Light hazy yellow. Smells like a fairly basic saison, but then it hits - a little something extra, offered by the dandelion. A slightly earthy, bitter grass note that does wonders to round it out and give some depth to the flavor. Crisp and refreshing, just a bit tart. Some lemon, some funk... delicate and delicious.

On tap at Churchkey during CBC week. Pours a hazy, straw yellow with some thin, white head. Nose is light grapefruit, herbal, a little lavender, chamomile, flower petals, lemon rind. Flavor is like a mimosa, lemon, orange, champagne, herbs, grass, hay. Medium bodied, zesty, refreshing finish. Superb.

Draft at Churchkey during the CBC. Poured a very slightly hazy pale yellow color. Aroma had some tart fruits - apples and perhaps a little pear. Spice notes, and some funk. Flavor was about the same, nice mild pucker in there - floral notes are present and not unpleasant. Slight pepper finish.
