3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 AshtonMcCobb (1444) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - MAY 15, 2013
355ml bottle from Appellation Wines. Pours a clear golden with steady but slow bubbles and a huge head. The nose has citrus, yeasty-malt and a hint of spice - typical saison. The taste is fresh and grassy with citrus and a more obvious spice thing going on. The palate is medium bodied with a big tangy texture and a long enduring finish. Overall, a good example of what a saison should do.

Drank in tulip glass poured from bomber. Aroma - belgian yeasty aroma. Typical beligian style beer. Appearance - golden yellow with very frothy head. Taste - sweet first taste with beligian blonde aftertaste. Bready with some spice. Palate - explodes with froth in mouth. Nice flavor though. Overall - better than most belgian style beers but still not my favorite.

Huge head, mild spices, you don’t taste any alcohol, no kick to it in any fashion. Does have a floral aroma, good hop taste. Needs to be a little more spicy for me. It sure is a gorgeous blonde though.
4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 novels (332) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - MAY 14, 2013
Goodness, what an impressive saison. So balanced, some great citrus, and it works so well with Ommegang’s yeast strains. I could drink this every day and not get bored.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20 beerbastard (499) - Mesa, Arizona, USA - MAY 11, 2013
750 bottle, pours a straw pale gold, with a large frothy head. Ripe fruit aromas with some spices and citrus. Soft mouthfeel. Starts with sweet pear and other fruits, some 7up flavors in the finish. Clean. A little sweeter than I would prefer for a Saison. Not quite dry enough.

On tap. Pours a pale straw gold with a fluffy eggshell head that settles slowly to a film and leaves some soapy lace. Nose involves zesty, peppery spice, lemon and grapefruit citrus notes, and rustic, dusty yeast. Lightly sweet, some bitterness, and a fair tartness make for a refreshing flavor mix. Lighter bodied, fairly active, with a peppery, spicy cleansing dry finish. Very enjoyable. I appreciate the dryness and all the yeasty spice along with the hop notes. Nicely put together.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 richc (144) - Bolton, Greater Manchester, ENGLAND - MAY 11, 2013
Aroma packs a generous load of peppery spiciness backed by a touch of citrus and some herbal, earthy notes. Flavour adds a touch of candyfloss sweetness, if anything a bit to sweet for a saison
