Dec 27, 2009 For my taste, this one is a little too malty for a Saison. Decent beer that pours and looks wonderful but lacks in the overall finish. Maltiness really lingers for me.

Dec 27, 2009 Pretty good brew. My standard is Dupont Saison and so while this beer is a nice attempt, it’s a little too malty sweet. But, not bad. Poured with an excellent foamy, frothy, off white head and lots of lace. Aroma was very nice as well: malty, yeasty, and a hint of lemon. Body is very good, perhaps a touch malty heavy. Finish is nice with a malty, yeasty, lemony quality. Session beer? perhaps.

Dec 24, 2009 Bottle. Musty basement, lemon peel, white pepper, and mildly sour malt aroma. Hazy yellow color with a nice white fluffy head. Sour milk malt and sweet lemon flavor with a mild dry/bitter finish. Nicely drinkable - sweet for the style.

Dec 12, 2009 750 ml bottle thanks to some generous soul at the Utah Beer Blog beer tasting. Pours a cloudy apricot color with a large white head. The aroma is super spicy, loads of orange and lemon, apples perhaps. The flavor was very enjoyable; zesty lemon, apples, tart spices, flavorful and a well made saison.

Dec 10, 2009 I really like this saison - I’ve had a few bottles and recently bought two more for the purpose of rating and enjoying. The aroma is very citrusy, though I’m unable to differentiate all the types. It pours a golden orange with a big head. There was a bit of yeastiness that mixed well with the citrus and spice flavors. In my opinion, it’s rated a bit low here, so that encourages me to look forward to trying the saisons that are rated higher and perhaps re-rate this one in the future.
