Tap at Nano Brew Cleveland. Bright yellow-orange pour with a pillowy white head. Yeast, fruity esters, slightly dry on the finish. Clean and easy drinking. Good saison.

Cloudy yellow with a fairly quick dissipating head. A kind of sour fruity aroma with slight spice and yeast. Nice carbonate tingle on the tonge. Flavor explodes and then dissipates just as fast. Pretty good stuff even though I’m not really a fan of this line of beers.

Leafs93 (1379) - Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 10, 2013
Pours burnt orange with a medium white head which quickly dissipated. Aroma is spice, yeast, earthy and pear. Taste is tart with a bittersweet finish. Maybe even a little funk. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Hay and sour summer in the aroma. Looks a bit weird, hazy light yellow with small cream head. Honey sweet taste, light refreshing. Slight taste of alcohol. Taste disappears quite quickly. Interesting beer, but easily forgotten:( ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

TwinBeer (50) - Houston, Texas, USA - FEB 7, 2013
Pours hazy golden with nice white head. Aroma of tropical tart fruit. Taste is very smooth tart berries ending sweet and light on the hops. Carbonation is perfect and makes your mouth beg for more. Overall this is a great Session and very drinkable.

steelhead3686 (185) - Athens, Ohio, USA - FEB 5, 2013
Pours a very hazy pale gold with a large white head. A hoppy aroma of that is I find in typical lagers but with a hint of spruce and citrus. A light to medium bitter taste with a nice sweet and sour tang. Very light body with a fluffy texture that almost seems to turn to foam in your mouth. The finish is slightly bittersweet. A very tasty beer that is also quite palate pleasing as well. I will keep this in mind when looking for or recommending a Saison.

TomDecapolis (4223) - Lawrence, Kansas, USA - FEB 1, 2013
Pours a hazy golden with a medium creamy white head. Aroma of spicy and very fruity saison character. Almost tropical fruit like. Flavor of the same spicy saison character along with tropical fruits and oranges. Would have like it a touch dryer.

tmrmwel (510) - Bergen, NORWAY - JAN 30, 2013
Bottle. Pours golden, with a quite fierce creamy head receding to finger thickness. Aroma is yeast with a lot of sweet citrus and apricot fruitiness, as well as some hay. Full creamy body, with a lively carbonation. Flavour is sour with yeast, some funky notes of barn and lots of fruit, as well as kandi, oak and some earthy notes.

Alexus (239) - Stavanger, NORWAY - JAN 30, 2013
Shared bottle at Nøgne Ø, Grimstad. Pours murky golden with a nice white head, typical for a saison. Aromas and flavor of spices, fruits and belgian funk. Full body. I’m not the greatest fan of so high alcohol levels in a saison, but the alcohol is well masked in this one.
