Tap @ Host 3rd anniversary. Lots of cloves and vanilla coming from this one. Bitter and spicy taste. Not my favorite.

Bottle thanks to Glouglouburp!
Severe gushing upon opening, probably half of the bottle. Opaque golden-grain color, puffy white head. Nose of lemon, wheat, light barn, citrus fruit, pepper, and hints of spice. Hoppy flavor reminiscent of Bullfrog’s Busted Lawnmower with Brett, lots of citrus, berry, wheat with light spice. Very refreshing, lightly dry and peppery. Light for a saison, perhaps not to style, but definitely too delicious and with enough going on to continually please. I could drink a lot of this. Thanks Dany!

BCTC. Many thanks to the incredible generosity of the RB crowd. Hazy yellow with head. Spicy sweet yeasty lemon aroma. Grapefruit lemon melon complex dry fruitiness with hoppy spicy dry finish. Nice soft dry palate. Very nice. I happen to like saisons like this.

Bottle from the brewer shared with some folks at BCTC 2009: Pours a hazy orange with an off white head. The aroma is simple and dry- minerally, yeasty and with a citric hop note. Light crisp body. Some citric flavors from American style hops. One dimensional, but not bad.

Aroma is light, crisp and spicy. Yeast and bready body. Balanced flavor with spices and some citrus and sweetness. Nice.

Draft. Hazy golden with a medium foamy head with good retention. Aroma is horse blanket, malt, herbs and spices. Flavor is acid with citrus and a hint of honey. Medium to full body.

750ml bottle. Poured orange-amber with a small white head. Head leaves great lacings. Retention is a bit short. Aroma is quite hoppy, spicy and notes of bubble gum. Taste is bitter, spicy and notes of buble gum and a bit bretty. It feels like a saison mixed with a english bitter. Bitterness is persistent on the finish. Carbonation is very present and good. quite interesting beer. Will taste it on tap someday. Rating #123

Another 750mL bottle acquired in a trade with MartinT. Thanks! I shared this with my brother. Aroma is a bit citrussy with some floral notes as well. A little barnyardy and a bit sweet. Lightly metallic aroma that is very quaffable. Very hazy golden orange body with a large, frothy white head that leaves nice lacing. Starts a little sweeter with much more citrus orange flavor to start than the #16. Becomes nice and spicy with some good yeastiness. Finishes with more grassy and spicy notes. I like this more than the 16, although both are solid brews.
