3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
750ml bottle. Crystal clear light golden pour with mountains of head that takes about six weeks to recede and leaves a sticky lace all down the glass. Very yeasty on the nose with lots of spice. Not as yeasty on the palate but there’s still a big breadish quality there with tons of spice and a little citrus fruit through the finish. A little light on the palate I thought.

UPDATED: JUL 27, 2011 Bottle. This is a beautiful pouring saison. Crisp and flavourful with a not overpowering alcohol content.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a hazy, light golden with a medium white head. Aroma is sweet with hints of lemon, grass, yeast, and spices. Flavor is citrusy with lemon, orange, peach, and tropical fruit notes and hints of yeast, grass, coriander, and other spices. Light to medium body with medium carbonation and a crisp finish. Very good brew.

355 ml bottle from MyBrewerytap.com. Pours light yellow with a big creamy and frothy white head. Aroma of coriander and yeasty malts. Taste is fruity and spicy with a very lively mouthfeel. Lingering peppery aftertaste, some alcohol presence as well.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
bottle. Pours a light orangish gold with big, fluffy off white head. Aroma of sourdough, lemon, and soft, spicy floral notes. Flavor is amazingly crisp and refreshing for the gravity, with notes of white bread, subtle clove / spice, dough, and a soft floral bitterness that brings a dry finish. Pretty nice saison.

Pretty alcoholic with a rather thin body.
Spicy with nutmeg and clove.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Light hops, very little funk, some light pepperiness, and a low carbonation. Again this ommegang beer has an odd metallic flavor that is dominating the finish, and adding an over the top bitterness. The beer was still refreshing, and bright, but the metal was odd.
