4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Lätt simmig gyllengul vätska. Doft av ljunghonung, tropisk frukt, mogna äpplen. Smaken är inte alls så söt som doften. Men mycket frukt, inlagda persikor piña colada (ananas/kokos), champis och sommarblommor. Lätt kryddad jämfört med belgiska varianter, bra avvägd beska, frisk. Sammantaget riktigt god väl värd pengarna eftersom jag delade flaskan med två goda vänner.

This is an excellent saison. Light and peppery, with just a hint of sour. No alcohol detected. Excellent, lively carbonation with a huge head. On par with Sorachi Ace as far as saisons go. Would recommend, and will drink again.

3.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
UPDATED: SEP 5, 2011 Light body. Mild bitterness. Slightly tart. Citrus? Creamy texture. Slightly peppery. Very smooth. This is a subtle ale, but not too delicate. The flavor starts to shine after beer number two. It becomes less subtle and more enjoyable. Never judge a beer before number two. At first I was unimpressed, then it hit me. Not my favorite Ommegang, but a fine beer for sure.

bottle in a pint glass - pours cloudy yellow with rich white head, leaving lacing. floral and citrus hops and a little herb-y. Aftertaste is a little metallic. Taste is tart. A disappointment. due to the simplicity, but is quite refreshing.

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 oz bottle from Beers of the World in Rochester, served in a tulip. Pours hazy orange-golden with a huge, dense white head. The head remains and leaves dense lace. On the nose, there are notes of coriander, orange peel, flowers, grass and straw. The flavour is moderately bitter, with a variety of spices, earth, straw and a touch of hops. The finish is long and spicy with a touch of pepper. On the palate, it is medium-full in body with a smooth, creamy texture and lively carbonation. Overall, this is a great saison with a prominent spicy, peppery character. The aroma is complex, welcoming and rustic. More alcoholic and peppery than I was expecting. 2011-08-13

This beer is really pretty decent, but still nothing much to it. I like some more complexity.
