3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Originally rated 01/13/12. Pours goldy-orange, thick fluffy head with lots of carbonation. Semll is floral, lemon grass, yeast, some nice spice, pear and very small amount of banana ester. Taste is slightly toasted grains, light caramel, bana, lemon, more pear, spice. more dark sweetness and spice than I was expecting, quite a robust Saison. Slight damp hay kind of quality, not really funky though. Bigger mouthfeel than I was expecting too, rather medium, and the carbonation is there but not stage-stealing. Quite nice beer.

Bottle. Lovely clear golden color with lots of carbonation and a huge, firm and fluffy white head. Nice aroma of spicy hops, flowers, yeast and fruit esters. Dry-ish flavor with yeast, fruit, some spiciness and a light malty sweet backbone. Finishes drier and moderately bitter with some spiciness, slightly earthy hops and a bit of alcohol. Medium-bodied, lively carbonation. A good one.

Faint bubblegum aroma, black peppery. Tart and sweet initially, intense honey and mead flavors midpalate, with a turnaround smoky malt aftertaste. Real smooth.

Pours a cloudy yellow with a huge head that stays nice and bubbly. Grassy, citrusy hops with the distinct estery aroma of a Saison. Flavor is more earthy, grassy funk. Refreshing as hell and packed with delicious flavor. Lovely.

Golden straw, slight haze. 2 finger head.
Powerful nose of fresh baked bread, lemon zest, clove, white peppercorn and malt. Creamy texture lifted by a spark of carbonation. Elegant medium + weight on the mouthfeel that finishes with a dry bread laced finish. Excellent Saison. (94 pts.)

750ml poured into Ommegang’s own glass. Pours orange with a thick head, lacing, and carbonation action. Smells include: bread, citrus, dough. Taste is very light with some pep on the tongue. A lot of lemon taste in this Saison. No alcohol present in the finish. A really solid Farmhouse style.

Pours light gold, a little cloudy, sticky foamy white head. A slight aroma. Taste is citrusy, with some hop presence at the start. A delicious smooth finish.
