4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
We served this at our wedding which made us popular with the guests. Serve at your wedding for similar results. This beer is also the one that got me interested in Belgian styles. Both fruity and spiced, it is good. Serving: Bottle
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a straw color with a small white head that is short lived. The aroma is a little bready, with grassy hops, grainy malt, and a hint of spice. The flavor is very tasty. Similar to the aroma, it has a strong tripel taste, with some slight funk and a bit of citrus. Pretty good.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
A: Clear straw/golden color with a healthy white head which leaves behind some nice lacing
S: Florals and spice comes through first with some yeastyness
T: Great yeasty and spicy black pepper... hints of bananas and apples... delicious
M: Medium bodied with a pinch of carbonated feel
D: Satisfying... easily could drink another
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Poured into a pint glass.
A: Cloudy, yeasty pale gold. I poured too fast and got all the yeast mixed in. One finger of head that laces well.
S: Complex. Spice, pepper, honey, straw.
T: Mild bitterness and sourness. Grassy hops, spice, and some peppery hotness. Malts spicy and biscuity. Lastly, hints of fruit and clove.
M: Smooth, somewhat creamy, and very well carbonated.
D: Wonderful beer. Though I prefer hoppier, darker beers, this one was a delightful change.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(bottle) Poured a hazy yellow with noticeable carbonation and rich white head. Modest lacing. Floral aroma with yeast. Taste is slightly bitter, clean and dry. Malt flavor is reminiscent to Abbey Ales, but very mild. A warm weather cocktail.
4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Mild spice in a tasty, yet thoroughly refreshing, context. This is one of the best beers I have ever tasted.
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Wow, great Belgian Saison. Little funky, great lingering taste, but not overly cloying. Huge carbonation, waiting for it to settle is torture with the great smells coming off. Very typical of style and definetly a beer to enjoy.
