Aroma was wheaty, yeasty in the "saison" sense. The taste was yeasty and wheaty with a very strong bready flavor. Palate was thin and refreshing. Light with a bite. Braudog (3752), Dayton, Ohio, USA

Golden orange, lightly effervescent. Mildly tarty, tangy, just short of a fruit salad. Very easy to drink at >6%. (#3408, 4/11/2008) ross (1709), weddington, South Carolina, USA

When I pay premium for one of these beers, I truly expect it to be something that is damn good, and something that I would love to get a hold of again. This beer did not really live up to my expectations despite it being a good style percent rating. Perhaps it was too cold at the start, because as it warmed it improved, but even then it was really nothing mind boggling. Pours out an orange color with not much of a head at all. The smell is fruity, with some alcohol noted as well as some fruity and floral hops. Taste was kind of bitter, with an aftertaste that reminded me of a typical pale lager. Not really pleasing aftertaste. After my palate was used to this beer, it was drinkable. But at first, I was disappointed. I dont think I would buy this one again... jake65 (1698), Williston, North Dakota, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 11, 2008 Bottle: Bright gold pour with a nice sized white head. Aroma is clean and hoppy with florals. More hops in the flavor than anticipated - that is nice. Little bits of florals and earthy spice. Thanks Jordan. swoopjones (1897), Buffalo, New York, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 11, 2008 Bottle> Pours a lightly hazed medium yellow. Aromas of light earthiness funk, yeast, light hops. Originally enjoyed this with Hogtown harry & rudolf but apparently forgot to rate. Taste has that Belgian yeastiness, some bandaid, medium mouthfeel. Flavor here just seems to be lacking a tad. Decent beer but maybe expectations are inflated craftbeerdesign (746), Alpharetta, Georgia, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 9, 2008 Bottle: Copper gold, light head and lacing. Nice carbonation. Nose of light fuggels; earthy and stubborn and british tasting. Spritsy mouthfeel, clean base malt, strong bitterness. Decent clean balanced finish. I was picturing a lot different on this one, more belgian, more flavor. KieferUGA (461), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
