Aug 16, 2009 Pours a nice straw yellow gold with medium white head, minimal lacing, but leaves a creamy ring around the edge of the glass and a decent few white speck floaties throughout. Aroma of yeast, stale bread, slight hops, and clove. Flavor matches well and makes for a nice refreshing saison, but nothing special. Mouthfeel is slightly slick and body is medium to thin.

Aug 16, 2009 Sample on Tap at FFF Brewpub. Pours boring yellow with minimal disappearing white head. Overall dry and crisp. Slightly hoppy, with typical belgian yeast flavor. Not my favorite of the day (that’s why I sampled :)

Aug 11, 2009 Yellow colored with cloudy appearance vanishing white head. Peppery lemon dominates this aroma, soapy tones also here. Medium bodied, carbonated palate. Flavor is drier with lemon dominating, some spiciness also here. Rich hops also here, which last in aftertaste with dry pepper.

Aug 10, 2009 A beauty of a saison, if only because I haven’t yet fully explored the world of saisons. This one is great. A nice champagne flavor to accompany the citrus and apples. All too drinkable. Perhaps not as nuanced as the best of saisons but I like it for what it is -- a great combination of flavors that don’t grow tiresome.

Aug 10, 2009 Light gold in color and moderately opaque. Smells like apples, yeast, and sour dough bread. Very nice. Tastes like lemon grass citrus, and a touch of tang. Good balance but looking for just a little more character. Nice mouth feel. Great beer but not quite a classic.

Aug 9, 2009 This beer never quite does it for me as a saison. Certainly a decent beer, and deserving a better score than I’ve meted out, but it’s not to my taste, and to my mind not to the style. Can be great ice cold though.

Aug 8, 2009 Aroma had some coriander, banana and tart grapefruit. Appearance was translucent gold, with a frothy head. Flavor had banana, coriander, tart grapefruit and a slight alcohol finish. Palate was creamy. Not my favorite from Ommegang and really seemed more akin to a Whit.

Aug 7, 2009 Pours a fizzy, white head with legs and a cloudy, straw color body. Aromas of zest, grass, and white grape. Flavor is the same. Decent body.
