Dec 24, 2008 Pours transparent gold, small white head. Nose is sweet, almost lager-ish with sweet corn syrup, but fighting underneath are orange, yeast, spice, and some nice dark fruit and alcohol. More spice and yeast in the flavor, better than the nose, but also something synthetic. Palate is moderate, spritzy... middle of the road. Ok beer, but not a lot of saison here, not a lot of anything really.

Dec 14, 2008 750 ml bottle: pours tawny straw yellow with slight haze and elegant white head. Striking pucker just from aroma. Mouthfeel is prickly with lemony flavors, mineral and some yeast funk and pepper. Flavors mute a bit and remind of a golden ale as it warms.

Dec 9, 2008 Bottle at Eulogy, Philadelphia 18-11-08. Pours a lemony in fact urine colour with some haze and a slim white head. This I found to be a bit sweeter than some saisons. Very soft feel in the mouth with thousands of tiny bubbles skitting about. Nice light lemony vanilla flavours, yeastiness and the sweetness showing again. Nice beer just a little too sweet for me.

Dec 7, 2008 An awesome saison. Pours a straw yellow with a big frothy head. Nose is yeast, lemon peel, coriander, peppery spice and some funk. Flavor is same lemon and pepper goodness with some brett presence. Finish is lingering citrus bitter. An exemplar of the style and VERY refreshing.
