On tap at Taco Mac. Poured clear and yellow/gold with a thin, white head (Taco Mac always pours drafts with no head and too cold...). The aroma is spicy with some banana notes - quite floral, too. The phenolics and noble hops remind me of a potpourri - almost like chamomile and lavendar... There is also a slight pepperiness in there. The flavor is nice - bready with a little residual malt sweetness, lots of fruity esters (subtle banana note), yeast (accentuates the breadiness), and delicate backup of floral/perfumy hops. The middle of the tongue picks up more esters, and the beer finishes a bit full (probably too full compared to Belgian Saisons) with a nice, balancing bitterness. The mouthfeel is crisply carbonated and medium in body. Overall, a very tasty Belgain ale - but not quite dry enough (same mistake I made the last time I tried to homebrew a Saison...)

On tap at Bottleworks. Cool that I can sip while I shop. Guess drinking and buying is OK. Amber with a fair head. Belgian flavour but too thick for a summer beer and no spice or funk.

On tap at Bottleworks. I was not a fan of this one. Pours a crazy light golden color, with a small head. It has a bigger aroma than it has flavor. Wheat, some bitter fruit esters, and... tonic water? Mineral / metallic taste. Aroma is decent, but it fails beyond that.

Athens, Ga - Five Points Bottle Shop - 22 oz bomber. Medium orange pour, white forth head that leaves good lacing. Pleasant aroma of lemon and yeast. Flavor is thirst quenching with a nice lemon zest, some mild spiciness and and underlying yeast with a slight hint of citrus. Clean, crisp mouthfeel. Very good.

Draft at BT. Pours a pale golden body with a white lacing. A musky damp floral body and some dried fruit and apricot. Light spice notes and then this rotten apple and tin notes. Not good.

Tap. After having the pinot barrel aged version this beer was a let down. Alright flavor barely any aroma. Wondering how this was even the same beer at any point in time.

Tap at BT. Pours a mostly clear straw golden with a nice lasting thin white head. Aroma is intenesely fresh bready malts, almsto a warm biscuit toastiness, with some light belgian yeasty phenols and light spice. Flavor is a bit on the sweet side, honey, toasty, warm biscuit bready getting a bit too big and sweet, spices, and phenols in the background and some earthy yeast. Finish is a bit too sweet, and doesnt have the belgian yeast saison kick to it. Meh.
