4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Tasted from large corked bottle into snifter. Poured a beautiful, hazy golden color with huge creamy white foam which lasted an eternity and left great Belgian lace. Aromas of grain, mild malt, earthy and flowery hops, pepper, clove, and other unidentifiable Belgian yeast spiciness. Basic pale malt-sweetness with stronger hops bitterness/flavor than most saisons, which is welcome. But as with many Belgian styles, the tremendous complexity comes from the fermentation esters and phenols. Light-medium body, spritzy carbonation, some fruitiness and Champagne-like bite in the aftertaste. Truly excellent beer.

Cloudy, yellow in color. It has a two fingered head that sticks around well after the pour. Skunky aroma. It has a nasty bitter taste. Thin-bodied beer that has a very boring aftertaste. I was looking forward to this beet being from the hometown of the baseball hall of fame. But it was disappointing.i

Zesty wheat lemony aroma. White frothing head with large bubbles. Bright yellow haze color. Mild sweet and sour taste. Like the aroma its a bit lemony and bready taste. Has a sparkling wine(champagne) feel and taste. Pleasant and drinkable. Light and crispy.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Poured hazy yellow from a corked 750 with pretty good head and a nice stanky (in a good way) aroma. Tastes a mix of spicey hops, other spices, and Belgian yeast funk. Finishes well, is enjoyable but for the price I’d rather buy a Dupont.

A good saison. Nothing too special, but smooth, with a good amount of spice. Had in the bottle.

A hazy light yellow beer with a huge frothy white head. The aroma is wheat, yeast, and lemon. The flavor is spicy, wheaty, and citrusy.
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Hazy golden pour with a lasting fluffy white head. Aroma is fruity and spicy with notes of banana, lemon, peppery yeast, apple and some light woodiness. Flavour pretty much mirrors the aroma with a little sweetness and hints of mineral and alcohol. Dry mouthfeel with high carbonation and a dry, spicy finish.

Served to me with Christmas dinner by a Belgian enthusiast. Very hazy golden color. Enormous amount of head. Yeasty esters and citric aromas compete with fuel notes. Sweet flavor, but kind of bitter and for a saison. Pretty light bodied and easy drinking though.
