May 13, 2008 750 ml bottle - ours mostly clear gold with slight haze in 2nd glass; huge white head pushes out thick aromas of spice, yeast and bread; mostly sweet, but definitely a slight tartness in there; medium body and drinks a little thin; spice linger in aftertaste; a little bland on the flavor, but a great nose on this

May 11, 2008 750 ml bottle, I have had this beer twice and the first time I wasn’t all that impressed, just OK but the bottle I had tonight was pretty flat out marginal at best. Really odd nose of turning vegetables and yeast. The flavor was extremely phenolic, my wife, a big LA fan was also turned off. It turned into a drainpour for both of us. This is kind of a combo two bottle rating. I have a bad feeling about the way this beer is developing and I am glad I have none left to worry about.

May 11, 2008 Thanks to riversideAK for sending this one in a recent trade.
This hazy, light gold brew sits under a thin white head.
Typical funky Belgian aroma.
Moderate sweetness in the flavor, some spicy notes as well.

May 9, 2008 750 ml. brown Belgian bottle. Corked and caged, but no freshness date seen. Poured out a hazy yellow color, with a sticky off white head. Aromas are of sour lemons, white pepper, funky yeast, typical Saison esters.
Flavors are of chalky water, strong clove spices, yeasty bread. The cloves are almost overpowering, numbing my throat. Medium mouthfeel, almost too thick for a Saison. Finished sour and dry.

May 8, 2008 Cloudy orange pour with a thick white head. Spicey hop nose. Flavor was lemon along with hops, spice, and a bit of yeast. Finished very smooth and refreshing. An easy going session beer.
