matt7215 (942), Cambridge, Ontario, Canada Aug 17, 2008 12 oz bottle from premier gourmet. pours hazy golden with off white head. aromas are zesty sour funk with some peppery notes. the flavours are similar with the addition of some light hopping. very nice but the pepper lingers in your thoat a bit which prevent this from getting a 5 in palatability. very nice session saison. jgentgesdo (564), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA Aug 17, 2008 Pours cloudy yellow with a heavy white head. Nose is yeasty and peppery. The flavor is funky yeast and horseblanket flavors, spicy yeast, and floral hops. Rather watery mouthfeel. Pretty good. IPAndy (120), minneapolis, Minnesota, USA Aug 14, 2008 Awesome pour- cloudy orange with a huge puff of head, almost like a scoop of ice cream on top. Aroma is cidery with some attic/closet smell. Flavor is tart, apple cider, yeast. Finishes tart and a little spicy. Indra (2018), Prairie Village, Kansas, USA Aug 13, 2008 750ml bottle, Batch 264. Wonderfully spicy, yeasty nose, malty and fruity with notes of lemongrass, pepper, pale malt grains, dough, clove and plenty of farmhouse funk. Cloudy medium golden in color with a lasting, thick cap of white foam. Flavor is mildly bitter and citric to start, turning maltier and fruity before a gently tart, spicy, refreshing and lightly herbal finish. Sharp and active on the palate, dry and slightly acidic throughout with a light-medium body. A wide variety of subtle nuances seem to appear over a period of time, revealing a complex and tasty but very easy-going rendition of the style. Zinister (1198), Houston, Texas, USA Aug 11, 2008 Thanks to July Santa for this beer. Soft straw color with a big foamy head. Spice, hops, melon, banana....great nose. Flavor is a bit of Jolly funk with a sweet malt flavor mixed with spices and citrus. Thanks Santa. Indulgence (141), Ajo, Arizona, USA Aug 10, 2008 If I had to compare it to wine, it’d come close to gerwurztraminer. Aromas of banana, crisp hops, sour yeast. This sucker is foamy for sure, nice soapy 3 finger head and strong lace ring, swirling just foams it back up. Notes of light fruits; pear, melons, hops and a tight, bubbly, soury tart and buttery, but light finish... this would be a decent substitute for a white wine like chardonnay or that gewurztraminer. highibus (421), Mill Creek, Washington, USA Aug 9, 2008 Pours a cloudy straw color. Some white head but the bubbles are quite big. Flavor is slightly sour and a nice hop presence. Really interesting. I like this alot.
jayme9874 (756), Hamburg, New York, USA Aug 7, 2008 Did not take notes but an excellent, somewhat funky, hoppy, refreshing saison.
