3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Light yellow and hazy with a great head. Aroma is citrus and a bit of yeast or light bread. The spices come out in the taste first, followed by a hint of citrus at the beginning of the finish. A great refreshing summer brew.
4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Big aroma of pine and lemon with a substantial alcohol presence and some spice as well. Light golden color that’s just a touch cloudy. Medium bitterness. LIght and refreshing on the tongue. Soft and highly effervescent. Just a flat out brilliant beer.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
750 ml corked and caged bottle poured into tulip. Aroma is spicy, Belgian yeast, honeysuckle, some clove, alcohol--all a little too subdued, though. Pours a hazy gold with a medium dissipating head and creamy lace. Nice Belgian aftertaste. Taste starts out sweet and finishes sour. Carbonation is medium high. Medium-bodied. A pretty good, but definitely not fantastic saison.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from Tiffany’s. Hazy dark yellow colour, white head. Aroma is citrus, sour, bit yeasty. Flavour is sour, malty, bit caramel, citrus, spicy. Fresh and very drinkable.
4.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
This beer is in my top 5 of all time. Pours bright golden yellow, with a fizzy head that lasts. The smell is earthy yeast, sweet citrus, and floral pollen. The taste: peppery sweetness, yeasty funkiness, champagne-like bubbles. Quenching, refreshing, yet bursting with flavors. LOTS of flavors. Wild yeast mingling with the hops to become one. Assorted spices. Slight alcohol burn, but in a good way. This is my "go to" beer when trying to convert the uninitiated to the Belgian styles.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
75 cl bottle, Mulmur, ON, Canada via NY. Slightly hazy golden colour, musty citrus aroma. Quite carbonated, less mellow than other Saisons I’ve tried. Citrus comes through, with a nice hoppy bitterness finshing it.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a light blonde with immense head, even pouring carefully the head will easily be 4 fingers and will stick around, it doesn’t fade. Aromas of esters and very light malts. Initial peppery attack which fades to a warm, smooth finish. Very nice.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 ounce bottle-a yellow gold pour- white creamy head-aroma and taste of grass, barnyard, spice, sweet creamy somewhat tart finish
