ross (1709), weddington, South Carolina, USA Feb 15, 2007 Bottle shared by the manager of the Mellow Mushroom with me. Pours out a yellow color with a thick white head on it. Smell is sweet and grassy, with a hint of citrus fruits in it as well. Taste is smooth and light, with a good bit of carbonation in it. Very refreshing for the style. I could probably drink this all day on a hot summer day. Not bad stuff. shp555 (1678), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Feb 12, 2007 Pours a hazy golden amber color with a never ending white fluffy head. Aroma is spicey, earthy. Flavor is earthy spices with a light citrus finish. zebracakes (1214), Washington DC, USA Feb 11, 2007 Bottle. Pours hazy gold with white head. Aroma is funky, musty, tangy bleu cheese. Flavor is fruit, tangy, malt, sour, funky. rayg1 (433), Ft. Mill, South Carolina, USA Feb 9, 2007 This beer pours a light amber with a very big billowing white head. Aroma is very yeasty musty but spicy at the same time. Taste is bitter but leaves you with a bit of earthy feel. I’m really starting to enjoy the tartness of saison and this one is so far my best. troysworktable (109), Washington, USA Feb 7, 2007 25.4 ounce bottle. My second saison. This is a style I definitely enjoy. The pour is cloudy, translucent, and the color of a butterscotch candy. A generous white head stays through completion and leaves behind good lacing on the sides of the glass. The taste is floral and spicy. I smell and taste cloves, caraway seed, and coriander. These emerge from a background of flowers and pear. Foret is pleasant on the palate, sweet with a light hoppiness. Light alcohol flavor keeps the finish going, although diminished, pushing the spices to the forefront as it progresses. This is a sipping beer, and one with which to enjoy the company of good friends.
This was a great pairing with the wife’s chicken piccata, served over a bed of orzo. mcbackus (725), Merritt Island, Florida, USA Feb 4, 2007 bottle: a golden hay colour, very alive beer with inches of fluffy head that last. aroma is of yeast and mild. very light flavour at first but finishes nicely. SDalkoholic (1186), Chula Vista, California, USA Feb 3, 2007 Mild aroma of yeast and spice. Golden appearance with patch of foam for a head. Flavor was average and had the usual tasting of yeast and spice but other than that i didnt see the big deal in this being a great beer.
Palidor19 (1750), Brandon, Florida, USA Jan 30, 2007 many, many herbs and spices overpower this beer. Their are tastes of Basil, mint, Coriander Caraway, and many more. the taste is a little thin but its got a great presence hat takes you someplace different and special.
