SuperDave70 (832), Beautiful Sunny Mesa, Arizona, USA Jul 15, 2008 Hazy light golden pour with a foamy, but long lasting head. Good straks of lacing. Nice aroma of yeast, spice, light fruit and pepper. Fruity wheat and yeast flavor, with some nice spiciness. Nicely carbonated and a refreshing palate. Good Saison.
EricE (254), Beltsville, Maryland, USA Oct 10, 2008 Very hazy yellow-orange pour. Fluffy thick white head. Looks like a glass of champagne. Fruity malt aroma. Very wine like with grape and apple. Slightly sour fruit flavor with citrus and berries. Bitter hoppy finish. Very easy to drink. I really enjoyed this. mgermani (621), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Oct 8, 2008 Pours a lightly hazy golden-blonde with a loose but enormous head with decent retention, which leaves a lot of lacing when it eventually subsides. Aroma is dry rubbing alcohol with a hint of sweet mango. Apple cider taste with sharp, sweet malting takes on a spicier aftertaste with a light hop bite. Reasonable carbonation and a crisp body. I could have gone with a bit more funk for this style, and a bit less apple. Reminds me a bit too much of a blonde ale, but still excellently executed and very quaffable. darn1207 (335), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Oct 3, 2008 bottle. hazy light orange pour with a big bubbly white head that never fully goes away - and spotty lacing. aroma of spices (pepper and clove), lemon and general sourness. pale malts, bread and spice in the taste. finishes a quick dry bitter. tight and crisp. good, but not quite great. K-7.5 FishManLA (182), Abita Springs, Louisiana, USA Oct 1, 2008 Foggy brass colored pour with a medium sized foamy and fizzy head with moderate persistence. Medium lacing. Nose of yeast with traces of citrus. Initial taste impression is a sharp tartness, like an apple. Notes of citrus and bread in the taste as well. Initial tartness rather quickly and abruptly segues into a classic hop bitterness that lingers to form the finish. A nice, if not outstanding, saison. TheKeg (10), Louisiana, USA Sep 23, 2008 Pours bright yellow-gold color with a thick white head. Moderately cloudy, with citrus and spice notes.
