Hazy blonde pour with a thin white head .... aroma of spicy fruity yeast, oranges/citrusy goodness .... taste is fresh and spicy with a fruity yeast punch and an orange/citrusy peppery bite .... has a nice tart/spicy flavor which really gives it a great mouthfeel .... has a lingering dryness with a light spicy/peppery bite .... well done saison

Thanks to Moll for sharing the bottle. Served in a mini tumbler. Nose is grainy and faintly nutty. Dry and very carbonated. Fluffy white head. Flavor is more nutty. Stale peanut butter. Dry finish.

Draft during the pumpkin tapping. Poured a clear copper body, a bit dark for the style in my eyes, average sized foamy dense white head. Aroma of bubble gum, tropical fruits, yeast, grains, peach and apricot skins. Fuller body with strong carbonation. Flavor is big yeast notes up front, some rotting fruits, earth, wet bread. I liked it but the spiceyness wasn’t really there.

Very light and refreshing. Pours yellow with a white head. Lots of fruit in the aroma. The flavor also has a nice amount of fruity sourness to it.

On tap at Chestnut Hill location. Cloudy golden with foamy white head. Banana, cloves, pepper, bread, floral. Moderately sweet and bitter. A little bit acidic. Average body.

Bottle courtesy of Brendan split with Brendan, Andrew and Max. Pours a hay orange amber body with nice white creamy head. Aroma is bitter, zesty yeast, spicy clove, wheat and light banana. Mouthfeel is bitter, dry and unbalanced with notes of clove, additional spices and wheat. I was not a huge fan of this one.

Bottle from the Newark brewpub. Appearance is the highlight, pear-colored and opaque with huge white head and spotty lacing. Aroma is a bit of yeast and honey, taste is kind of dry with citrusy zest in the aftertaste but not a lot besides wheat in the middle. Medium carb. Almost skunky.

Bottle poured a clear gold with a lasting creamy white head. Aromas of straw, light citrus and light earthiness. Palate was light bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of straw, fruittiness and earthiness with a crisp dry finish.

Aroma is of Belgian yeast. Pours a light cloudy gold with not much of a head. Taste is slightly thin but it’s not lacking in flavor. The Belgian yeast is present throughout. One of the more tasty saisons I’ve had. Pretty good.

Bottle @ Scott’s Summer Saison tasting. Thanks so much Scott! Golden orange appearance with a big off-white head. Spritzy, floral, herbal tea, lemon zesty aroma. Barnyard, funky, earthy, spicy, white peppery flavor. Pretty tasty.
