sayravai (3720), Helsinki, Finland May 15, 2008 (Bottled, 0.75l) Hazy yellow with a smallish head. Strongly corianded-orange-peel-spicy, very witbierish aroma. Flavor is a hybrid between wit and saison, with yeast, orange-peel, some grainy malt. Medium-bodied with medium carbonation. Not really a Saison, but definitely not bad as a beer. Reminds me of La Chouffe. DuffMan (2721), the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, Canada May 14, 2008 Hazy bright yellow with a towering beautiful merangue head that stays forever. Light citrus aroma, soft spices and wheat esters in the aroma. Velvety smooth mouthfeel with the fine carbonation interplaying with the soft malts perfectly. Lemon sherbet, orangepeel, wheaty and yeasty and spicey, with a long dry peppery finish. Absolutely awesome! Beershine (2678), Hue, Vietnam May 13, 2008 Updated: Sep 28, 2008Bottle 750 ml. Hazy blonde with foamy white head. Aroma of jasmine, lillies, thyme, verbena, and a touch of honey. Flavors are herbal and spicy including white pepper. Dry, light, and refreshing, Solid beer. DrnkMcDermott (1832), Downers Grove, Illinois, USA May 11, 2008 Corked 750 ml bottle. Pours light pilsner-type yellow, with a little haze, under an airy white head. Smell shows slight tartness to my stuffy nose, Taste has a bit of sour lemon and green apple up front, backed by some European hop spiciness. A bit of biscuit dough in the malts. My label lists the abv twice: 7.5% and 8.5%; either way, I don’t really feel the alcohol as I’m drinking it. After pouring, it’s nice and fizzy, but settles down quickly. Yeah, as a matter of fact, its texture is very much like a champagne. Bright tartness and dryness stays with me through the whole bottle. Purchased at <a href=http://ratebeer.com/Place/illinois/homewood/family-liquors/7545.htm>Family Liquors, Homewood. RomanW70 (297), Providence, Rhode Island, USA May 10, 2008 On tap at Track 84 in Warwick, RI. One of my favorite American Saisons. Pours yellowish gold with a large fluffy white head. Nose of citrus, spice, and funk. Funk very prominent in the taste. Finish is citrus and spice. Clean. Very nice beer. AleDude (23), USA May 9, 2008 5/8/08 - cloudy in color, slightly sour in taste. Ommegang makes some great beers, but this is not one of them. hockey28 (12), Buffalo, New York, USA May 8, 2008 Hazy golden yellowish color. very tasty and smooth. White foamy head. Floral and hoppy. gonzo46and2 (108), Tampa, Florida, USA May 7, 2008 Hoppy and floral but on the milder side. Good beer. Light and bubbly mouthfeel with a clean finish.
