super dry and yeasty, like a saison should be. fruit flavors or hops are not prevelant, only a delicious bread like yeast. amazing that americans can produce such accurate depictions of belgians, great brew!

Bottle; poured a hazy gold with terrific white, rocky head with great retention. Aroma of flowers, fruit, and clove. Flavor of malt, clove, with fruity notes with medium body and medium carbonation......Very good beer!

Bottled, alc.?, bottle says 7.5 % and 8.5 %
Hazy pale yellow color, white head. Very fruity, sweetish, slightly hayish and papery hoppy aroma. Sweetish fruit sugar flavor, alcoholic, some pepperness. This is American style saison - too sweet for my liking.

Bottled. Hazy yellowish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruits, yeast, alcohol and some spices. Flavour is very much the same, with the alcohol giving a really sweet sting. Also some toffeeish notes. Strange.

Quite spicy, with citrus and malt flavors that sort of remind me of an octoberfest. I think it was a good introduction to this style.

Cloudy yellow with a large white slowly diminishing head. Aroma was mildly sour with yeast, spice and citrus. Sweet lemon & yeast tasting with a light citric hop finish. Decent but not terribly exiting.

OK for a saison. Spicy, yes, but kind of crudely so. Also there is a cloying banana flavor. The mouthfeel, which I can only describe as articulate, is a positive. While this is beter than a good many American versions of the "Saison" style, it can’t approach Dupont, Pipaix, or Fantome. It’s just not as complex or satisfying.

On tap at Newport Pizza and Ale. Poured a shiney golden hue. The aroma was simi sweet and very much Belgian. The carbonation was terrific and brought out a nice pear taste. The hops were very well balanced and worked well to tone down the abv which was very undetectable. Thankyou much Mr. Bad Ass John Henry for another insane reccommendation.
