Jan 11, 2009 Bottle from Sam’s. It’s a shame I always pass up the JP because I always see it. Well, I went for the Bam Biere this time and am definitely not disappointed. Reminds me a lot of Fantome Brise BonBons. Pours a pale yellow that is clowdy, basically resembles a Belgian Wit. It’s a gusher, lets you know the bugs are at work. Nose is lemony and a touch herbal/hoppy. A little funk in the nose. Taste is pretty herbal and Brett dominates, at first, with a characteristic earthiness that is backed up with some lemony notes and a refreshing bitterness. This is a damn fine beer and definitely one of my favorite saisons. Very good.

Jan 9, 2009 Pours a light cloudy murky orande with a thin and quickly disapating head. smells of ruby red grapefruit. Flavor is clean and crisp and very citrusy like perrier water blended with grapefruit.

Jan 9, 2009 Brewed in the USA.... Courtesy of AFI96, thanks Waylo. Pours a hazy golden color with a Monster foamy white head. Aroma of brett and barnyard must. Taste is of funk, hay, and earthy notes. The mouthfeel had a sharp stinging effect on the tongue. I agree with AFI96 about the pepper missing in the saison.

Jan 7, 2009 Bottle shared with BeerGestapo. Pours a clear gold topped by a massive fluffy white head. The smell is earth, leather, hay, and funk. Brett dominates the flavor though, lots of funk, hay, and grass. Missing that peppery saison yeast that would have made this beer complete. Lightly tart and refreshing. Intense stinging carbonation that I thought went well with the rest of the beer. Decent.

Jan 7, 2009 Bottle. Poured murky yellow with small white head. Aroma was earthy, tart/sour, with a little bit of sour green apples? Taste was sour spice citrus with a sour apple finish. Never had a Saison that tasted like this and honestly did not enjoy.

plenty of clove, pepper as well as tart lemon and grapefruit. Very refreshing and tasty.

Dec 30, 2008 Murky brown orange color with a light head. Tart sourness with yeasty, citrusy, and acidic flavors. Spicy flavors are overridden by a metallic tinge in the finish, however. A little watery in the finish as well. Front half was much better.
