Pours a cloudy yellow with tenacious lacing and a modest head. Aroma is ginger, perry, and sweet - nice! Wonderful spicing in the taste - sweet yellow pepper and ground black pepper. A sweet/bitter finish which warms nicely! Creamy body, good soft carbonation. Yum! Complex floral spicy notes make this beer a really compelling brew, and the great hop finish is a welcome end to each sip.

Pours a hazy yellow with a very big frothy head. Fantastic fountain of bubbles from the bottom of the glass. Slighltly sour with some funghi. Also apples, citrus, spices and a bit of leather. Medium- to full bodied. Very high carbonation. Dry finish with funghi and coriander. Thanks to BBB63, my July Santa.

Bottle pours a hazy yellow with a monster head that never goes down. The aroma is spicy, yeasty, and floral. The flavor is dry and spicy with a cleansing carbonation for the palate. Overall, glad I bought the 6.

golden color huge frothy white head w/ soapy lacing. Great odd funky aroma some light hay, lots of yeast notes a hint of leather. Avg pal. Nice light flavor touch of corriander, some light peppers, a touch of leather and pepper. Nice saison.

I poured this into my new Surly glass that has curves in the glass walls up to the top so it has the same affect as the tulip, but without so much nose activity. Pours a great white head that leaves a great lacing behind and leaves the head still sitting there. Color is gold and very clear. The smell is sour and gueuze like, slightly fruity, and light. The first thing I noticed was the high carbonation on the mouth, almost soda like. The flavor is lighter than the smell and more wheat-like at the end. The sour flavor is very subdued and nice. Very drinkable, but hard to find. This one cost me $14/six pack.

Slightly cloudy straw colored pour, smallish white head. Just a hint of funk, some barnyard, hay, and flowers on the nose – nice! Very light and refreshing palate. Actively carbonated. Flavor is somewhat straw-like, a bit spicy, with a dry and slightly hoppy finish.

Bottle: Poured golden and lightly cloudy, with a sustained but thin top. The aroma had strength ... evident from a couple feet away -- orange peel, country spices. It’s incredibly tingly and effervescent on the palate ... starkly spicy and dry. Very nicely put together beer with exceptional balance. (#3245, 12/13/2007)
