To me this beer appeared to be more like an IPA than a Saison. That’s not a bad thing though.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 mile (1221) - Helsinki, FINLAND - JUN 12, 2011
Bottle. Golden, cloudy, average and mostly diminishing head. Light to moderate, malty –lightly wheaty and lightly sweetish aroma, some fruitiness, faint citrus and spiciness. Body is medium, malty – wheaty and lightly sweetish flavor, some fruitiness and hoppyness, faint sharp alcohol and spiciness. Finish is average, malty – wheaty and dryish, some fruitiness together with sharp hoppyness and spiciness, some alcohol. OK saison, but too much wheat and sharp alcohol/spiciness for me.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 Hair6a11 (931) - Illinois, USA - MAY 18, 2011
Bottle; Pour is murky gold with a modest off white head. Retention is above average ; spotty lacing in this Mild farmhouse nose, bready, floral hops. The flavor profile is a little muted - the contrast is that this brew is very refreshing. Mild citrus, lemon grass, bready malts, a touch of sweetness, mild funkiness. This is a nice, drinkable saison. Nothing remarkable, however
