Floback (447) - Naples, USA - OCT 28, 2007
Bottle from Hi Time Wines. Pours a frothy 1-inch off-white head over a golden body containing champagne-like bubbles that yearn for freedom. Nose is wheat, crusted white bread, and dry yeast. Flavors are similar with a strange aftertaste that I can’t quite identify. Finishes slightly dry. Medium carbonation and thin-bodied. Nothing interesting here; somewhat unsatisfying, yet mildly refreshing.

Mora2000 (3010) - Dallas, Texas, USA - NOV 20, 2011
On tap at The Common Table. The beer pours a gold-amber color with a medium-sized white head. The aroma has a lot of wheat in it, with some grass from the hops and also some Belgian yeast notes. The flavor is similar. I get a lot of pepper from the yeast, as well as a little bit of orange citrus and a lot of wheat. There is some hop flavor but not any bitterness. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

KyotoLefty (3765) - Kyoto, JAPAN - SEP 15, 2011
Draught at Lagunitas Brewery. Rather pale gold with foamy lace. Yeasty fruit aroma, a bit raw. Dry flavor—malty and bready, with wheat, yeasty, with an ok hoppy finish. An ok saison, but the yeast weighs it down. Nicely dry, though.

draft @ redlight redlight! Thanks to Lagunitas for sending this to Florida! Herbal, minty aroma with a sweet musty aroma. Pours golden blonde with a thick white head. Citrusy upfront with bready malts and a minty herbal yeasty flavor with a crisp finish. Pretty damn tasty!
