Cloudy, hazy amber. Smell of lemons, malt, clove, cinnamon, caramel, flowers, ginger, yeast, pepper and citrus. Tastes the same. Crisp and refreshing. Good but I wouldn’t pay $11 for it.

After unscrewing the bottle I quickly experienced the aroma while the cork exploded off the bottle unexpectedly and brew bubbled off onto the counter. Sniffing the spill, a strong spicy pear smell with wheat. Finally getting to pour, the cloudy burnt orange tan color under a fizzy white head. I really like the sweet malty and spicy tang of the aftertaste.

Pours hazy golden, full white head with good retention and nice lacing. Aroma is fruity and spicy with notes of wood and a hint of must or barnyard. Flavor is surprisingly sweet, an almost apple juice-like flavor dominates at first, developing Brett and hops on the finish. Mouthfeel is relatively rich with fair carbo. I would have liked something a little dryer for a Saison, this was on the sweet side. Interesting though.

Pours a dark, cloudy orangeish colour with a large white head with great retention. Masterpiece lacing left on the glass, aroma is wheaty, tart and full of fresh fruit. Fresh off the vine green grapes, tart with lively citrus impression. Spice evident right off the bat, Quick, tight hoppy bite on your palate. Finish is strong of pepper, cloves and ginger.

pours a nice cloudy gold with a big head that dissipates pretty quick like. Very spicy! It has a almost like liquorice taste and after you swallow it you get a nice citrus aftertaste. Nice and hoppy like I enjoy. Maybe a few too many extra flavors for me but good stuff.
