3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20Bottle after all these years. Dusty nose of yeast and autumnal leaf dust, sweet honey and floral notes. Pours lightly hazy golden with a rocky, pillowy white head. Taste is dry with some alcohol seeping through, heavy focus on the yeast with a little bit of rubber hose, but not as much as the honey or rose hips. Really nice floral overtones without the sweetness, wild and rustic tasting. Medium-full with perfect carbonation. Classy, does all the little things right, and it’s a happy thing that not all of this type need be overburdened by hops and caramel malt.

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.

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.

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.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
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.

12oz to tulip. hazy yellow. big fluffy head. very effervescent. tangy and a bit spicy. citrus is refreshing and lemony.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
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
