| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 11, 2008 Dirty straw yellow, towering head of tiny bubbles. Flowery/perfumey aroma, then yeasty/musty. Sweet straw-like malts, perfumey flavour (rosewater?), some citrus, and doughy yeast. Very nice. TheGent (148), , Massachusetts, USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 7/20 | Jul 9, 2008 Updated: Oct 21, 2008When bottle was opened i got a skunky smell but that wasn’ there after it was in the glass. smell became fruity malt. Brownish yellow color in the pour, the flavor was doughy with a bitter dry finish. I’ve decided this is one of my least favorite styles. laguerita (111), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 8, 2008 A bit of a skunky smell but it disappeared in the taste. A good mix of spice with banana character and a nice bitterness. Really really good. Wegro (220), Fresno, California, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jul 7, 2008 hazy dark gold body. smells floral and doughy. great spiciness. very dry without being overly bitter. has some buttery stuff in there too along with a thick but inviting mouthfeel, crisp carbonation. a winner in my book. gotta try it again sometime.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 7, 2008 A damn fine saison. Bottle from WLV. Pour is a golden saison color, nose is a kiss of skunk with some spicy fruitiness behind it. All hops in the nose, surprisingly. Taste is similar, though the skunk washes out and has a spicier, tangy taste, a little banana and surprisingly bitter. A great beer on a hot day. Excellent. pepperford (115), robbinsdale, Minnesota, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 6, 2008 white head on top of a hazy golden body. aromas are very flowery, grass, a touch of juicy fruit, and dough. a bit of grass in the flavors, a mixture of sweetness, dry tartness, citrus, and finishing in a dry bitterness that is palate cleansing. this i a very nice beer to pair with foods (shellfish, seafood) and a nice suprise for your non beer friends. thebeertourist (2777), Oslo, Norway
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jul 2, 2008 Bottle at Ons te Huis, Diest. Cloudy golden with a small white head. Good orange zest aroma. Fruity flavours, notably of oranges, with some sour and spicy notes as well. Good carbonation. A well-crafted saison that still does not quite excel.
