| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 28, 2004 Pours a cloudy/hazy golden with a big bubbled yellow-tinted white head that leaves sticky lacing on the glass. Aroma is very fruity, lots of citrus, corriander, spice, yeast, and some herbal floral hops. Taste has a great citrus tangerine almost sweet start, then a nice spice hits you and finishes with just a light hopped bitterness. Very light and crisp body with a very dry finish and slightly tart finish. A realy nice saison with a nice light carbonation that brings out a great variety of flavors.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 27, 2004 Lot 04049B whatever that means. Lively carbonation that produces a very nice fluffy white head that retains nicely. Aroma is very wheaty with clove and a little lemony citrus. taste is like a full body hefeweizen. Slightly sweet at first, but then fades very quickly to be very dry, chalky, and bitter. Crosling (1854), Loveland, Colorado, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Nov 23, 2004 Light peach. The aroma is fairly subtle but perfect for a saison in my opinion. It’s very fruity, spicy and highlights fragrances of cantaloupe, bubble gum, peach, caramel and clove. A bready, caramel like maltiness is evident as well. I’ll be the first one to admit that I am a huge saison freak, but this one is especially characterful. I love Dupont’s yeast which is why I am currently having a love affair with Blaugies as well. The bittering hops play a profound role in the flavor along with the slightly tart and ripe fruitiness and notes of cinnamon, orange, nutmeg, clove, toffee and caramel. A lovely saison.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 22, 2004 Cloudy golden color,medium sized white head that hung around for awhile then faded slowly to a decent lace.Malty sweet aroma with a bit of fruit and possibly a little spice as well.Nice flavor of sweet malt some wheat notes and fruit as well.Juuuust a bit of a band-aid flavor there but nothing that can’t be handled.Nice carbonation goes with this brew making the flavors dance on the pallate,and ending with a nice fruity after taste.Pretty decent brew and definately would go well on a hot summer day.More then worth trying again. atpayne (615), Zionsville, Indiana, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 4, 2004 Bottled as Foret; Very cloudy orange with a small white head. Fruit, spice, and yeast dominate the aroma. Hints of apricot. Tangy and citrusy in flavor with a wheet taste and feel. Noticable yeast contributes to an earthiness and tangy bitterness on the finish. 5000 (2409), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 1, 2004 Bottle pours an extremely cloudy pale golden , large foamy white head, sticky lacing, with loads of sediment on the bottom of the glass. Subtle aroma of flora & spices. Sweet subtle spices on the tongue, some citrus & flora as well. Wheaty like mouthfeel, good body. Finishes clean, unfortunately too quick as well. A little more corriander & citrus and I might think this to be a Belgian Wit!
