ThirstyBird (413) - Düsseldorf, GERMANY - MAR 30, 2013
On tap at The Reservior. Pours hazy pale yellow with large white head. Smell is spicy and bright. Orange peel and coriander. Taste is peppery, coriander. Real crisp with mild sweetness and ending dry. Carbonation is active and the body is light.

hockeybeerguy (211) - Portland, Maine, USA - MAR 10, 2013
On tap at Buck’s Naked BBQ (Freeport, ME): hazy golden body with a half finger white foamy head immediately dies and leaves no lacing, aroma is spicy sweet with some pepper, coriander, and slight earthy yeastiness up front, slight malts in the background, taste is spicy sweet through previously mentioned flavors, palate is sharp most likely through the peppery/coriander but the carbonation is moderate, fairy sessionable, overall, is this a combination of an American Pale Ale and a saison, if so, I absolutely love it and never thought any brewery in this entire world could pull that off? Kudos to Oxbow if this is what they tried to do, if not, hey I like this one a lot.

Pretty nice earthy rustic spiciness and a crisp hoppy bite to accompany the flavorful farmhouse yeast. Tasty and good.
