Jun 5, 2006 A cloudy light gold body with a white head. The aroma was grassy with a hint of funky cheese. There was also some pears. The taste was funky sweet mangoes with some cherries. A pretty nice saison. Wished I had tried some more beers at this place.

May 7, 2006 Draft... Hazy, straw-colored ale with a mid-sized, frothy, white head. Good retention. Both the aroma and flavor are nothing but BANANAS! Ripe, sweet BANANAS! No spices to be found. Medium-bodied and creamy with mild carbonation. Finishes fruity, sweet and finally dry. Based on previous ratings, this is obviously an "off" or different batch. I don’t like bananas much, but if one does, he or she should rush on over to Reservoir and get a glass or two right now! Again, no spices evident... only fruit. Not quite brewed to style.

Jan 19, 2005 Half of a pint at Reservoir (the other half spilled on tiggmtl, alas -- sorry!). Cloudy copper with a bit of lasting head...sweet, anise inflected aroma...body sweet, earthy, apples and pepper and lots of bitterness towards the end. Great saison? No, but a decent beer.

Jan 17, 2005 Spicy, sweet, peppery, honey aroma - hops, malts and yeast all appear to be lending character. Hazy copper-amber with decent, fine-bubbled, off-white head that recedes to cover. Earthy, fruity (mango) flavour offers some spicy hop notes. Pleasant bubbly texture and medium body. Not sure it really fits my idea of a saison but it is an enjoyable beer. On tap at the brewpub with muzzlehatch.
