Aug 10, 2008 Pours a golden champagne color, with a bit of bubbly effervescence that forms a small ring of quickly dissipating foam. Very nice nose, citrus, toasted bread crusts, honey, a light bit of persipan and even a bit of tropical flowers, almost a hibiscus floral nature, elegant and delicate. The flavor is quite nice, pie crust, honey, gentle spices and more biscuity notes. This is very pleasurable to drink. Well done!

Aug 1, 2008 Not a very interesting saison. Pours a straw gold with thin white head. Sweet malt, biscuits, some honey, and notes of lemon zest and earthiness. Also a little bit buttery. Rather bland, but still drinkable.

Jul 30, 2008 22 oz. bottle - pours a light gold and white head fades quickly; lots of carbonation; aromas are sweet and grassy; a little earth-funk too with lemons; texture is thin and juice like; honey mainly and very sweet; blah; my excitement for this ended at first sip; a poor saison

Jul 22, 2008 22 oz bottle. Poured a slightly hazy golden yellow with a light white head with some lacing as I worked down the glass. slight yesty and slightly fruity aroma. Slight tastes of apricot, and a little sourness to the light yeasty flavor of the brew. Flavor got a little more complex as it warmed. Not bad, but nothing really special, either.

Jul 13, 2008 Sampled at Empire State Brew fest in Syracuse. Spice great taste, light and not filling. Would buy again if it were available around this area.

Jul 13, 2008 Golden colored beer with a thin white head. Not much to the nose but I did get some spice. Flavors included orange peel, apple juice, water and some soap. This may have suffered from following the Southhampton Grand Cru, but it seemed an underwhelmed beer.
Aquilo (249), California, USA
Jul 12, 2008 Very clear apple cider yellow with a small white head. Aroma is grassy and fruity at the same time. Smells like fresh waffles and watermelon. Flavor is weak and disappointing. Just water and. . . I don’t know, hay or something. Still, it doesn’t taste horrible.

Jul 4, 2008 Bottle thanks to PharmicistRick. Poured a clear golden color with a moderate white head that left some lacing. Aroma is dull, with some light pilsner malt and some yeast. Bland, smooth entry with some light citrus and a light yeasty touch compose the flavor. No saison funk, and none of the dryness saisons are known for. A bit disappointing, especially considering how solid most of Lagunitas brews are.
