3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20 oc4111 (105) - USA - SEP 28, 2012Pours a hazy golden color with a pillowy head typical of most saisons but doesn’t leave much lacing. Aroma is yeast, pears, peaches. Taste is pears and peaches at the beginning, slight hint of hops near the end and topped off with that cleansing carbonation. One of the better saisons I’ve had.

750 ml bottle thanks to robloc303. Pours a hazy gold with a white head of foam. Aroma is yeasty and a little funky. Tastes of zesty yeast esters and citrus. I’m a little let down that the funky note detected doesn’t come through in the taste at all.

4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 OKplus (355) - Oklahoma, USA - MAY 9, 2013
A - Massive 3 finger white head very slowly sinks and leaves impressive chunks of lacing behind. Hazy golden orange in color.
S - Spicy yeast jumps right out, acidic fruit, white grapes, pears, green apples, bright fruity alcohol. Earthy grass aromas come out as it warms
T - Bright tart fruits - white grapes, granny smith apples, lemons, and pears. Dry straw, peppery spices, rich wheat malt, fresh ginger and grapefruit peel comes out heavy on the end as well as some herbal bitterness. Finishes very dry and peppery.
M - Medium bodied, soft and smooth texture with moderate carbonation.
Fruit and spice, and yeast in holy matrimony! Excellent flavors, great spice profile, very tart and dry. Very complex Saison that I thoroughly enjoyed. Highly recommended.

Slightly hazy, light golden color with a thin white head. Earthy, moldy hay bail nose. Full-bodied, pillowy mouthfeel. Nearly mouth puckering. Very earthy and bar air in the flavors. Not my cup of tea, but saison’s generally aren’t.

Well done. Not usually a fan of saisons. Pours hazy yellow with a huge fluffy white head. Aroma is full of citrus. Light and airy in mouth, with a nice lemon skunk finish.

Pours a hazy yellow with aroma of a haystack. Taste is slightly bitter with a lasting film over the tongue after the swallow. The taste is slightly spicy with notes of coriander.. I’m not a huge fan of saison’s but this one was tolerable.

4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 BitchPls (237) - FINLAND - APR 19, 2013
Golden yellow with a foamy medium size head. Beautiful. Aromas of lemon, sweet and ripe fruits, something uniquely refreshing and mild parfume like. Wow! Medium body which grows like a balloon in your mouth. Sour and bitter but not too strongly. Sour orange (not in a bad way). Leaves a long bitter after taste. Solid.
