Bottle. Poured a lightly hazy orange-copper color with a thick, rocky off-white head that stuck around quite nicely. Aroma of some tart yeastiness with nice fruit undertones of orange, lemon, and a touch of light berry, some soft spiciness, and a light dose of floral hops. Lightly musty, dry, yeasty entry with some earthy undertones and moderate spiciness transitions into a bright fruitiness with some orange, grapefruit, some berry, all finishing with a moderately tart, drying yeast finish. Very nice saison. Judging by the sediment in the bottle this may have been a bit older, I will have to buy another and compare.

Hazy golden colour with a huge white head. malty, berry fruity aroma with a light yeast note. malty, fruity and yeasty flavor with a light acidic note.

750 ml bottle, corked and caged, from John’s Marketplace in Portland, OR. Loud bang, followed by cork hitting ceiling violently. Have not found the wire yet. Hazy orange gold color with a huge, foamy white head. The aroma is lightly spicy, lightly fruity, lightly sweat sox. Medium plus body with frothy, creamy carbonation. The flavor is vanilla, yeast, citrus, light stone fruit, and a light funk. It’s very smooth, very integrated, and very flavorful. It is so smooth compared to many saisons. It is deserving of the high ratings it has received.

750 ml bottle poured into large snifter. Wow! This brew pours on the largest head of any brew I’ve had so far. I had to wait awhile to let it settle before I could drink it. It was pretty as a picture in the glass. A deep amber/orange with a light amber colored head. Crisp and dry with a strong hop presence that gives way to a mild malt aftertaste. A very well balanced brew. Surprisingly the alcohol is very subdued in it the smell and taste, but man this brew packs a wallop! An excellent Saison.

750 bottle shared with Lee. Chunky orange pour with a thick white head. Slightly sour orange and grapfruit aroma. Taste is light and sour with hints of grapefruit. Nice clean dry finish.
