Style: Saison
Cooperstown, New York USA

bottle.... hazy with nice foamy head... champagne aroma and crisp taste... hints of citrus and banana.... very nice saison

Bottled, while it was crisp and refreshing, this was just way too sweet for me, tasted like grenadine.

On tap. Pours orange with a white head. Heavily carbonated. Aroma is of spice, hops, citrus, and yeast. Taste is of citrus, hops, spice, yeast, and grain. Mouthfeel is very light and crisp. Finishes with lots of spice and citrus. No detectable presence of alcohol. Nothing amazing. Just a very drinkable and enjoyable beer.

TAP: golden pour, light and crisp. Lots of complex flavor - citrus, banana, spice, and ginger.

My first Saison. Quite tasty. Nicely balanced aroma with citrus notes. Flavor is light and crisp, with a nice compliment of tartness. Some hints of malt presence. Finish is clean and dry. Easy to drink, great to enjoy.

Bottle. Pours cloudy golden with a nice thick white head. Smells of fruits. Great flavors of fruit with some yeast. Great beer.

On tap in Coles, Buffalo: Appearance: Cloudy orange with a medium white head. Aroma: Grassy, malt, some spice, yeast and hops. Flavour: Medium body with grassy hops and malt. Hmm.

750 mL caged and corked bottle, purchased from the Dekalb Farmer’s Market in Atlanta. Poured a hazy yellow color with a three finger, puffy, white head. The aroma was spicy, with notes of banana, hay, and a bit of citrus. The flavor was lacking complexity, with only spice flavors, some faint citrus and a bit of malt present. This really didn’t seem like a ~8% beer. Overall this was a solid beer, and for what I paid for it, a steal.
