Feb 24, 2006 Not a big fan of this one, personally. Poured a decently attractive golden clear with a thick head. Aroma was sour, kinda like a decent sparkling white wine. Taste was less sour, grainy malts, a little hop bitterness, a little nutmeg perhaps, and some light fruit. Light-medium body, but not watery, and very sticky mouth feel after the finish.

Feb 24, 2006 22 oz Bottle. Deep red pour became light cloudy orange once the yeast sediment was added. Fruity, barnyard aroma very characteristic for a saison. In fact, the smell was to me exactly how you would expect something extremely fresh and clean (spring water) to smell. It was very pleasing and relaxing and I really enjoyed it. Flavor was much more subdued though still had the nice funky and fruity flavors you’d expect in a saison. This was a very nice brew; I’m surprised it’s rated so low.

Feb 22, 2006 Updated: Aug 3, 2006Bottle. Hude head on gold murk sledge cider looking stuff. Hoppy funk dirt barn aroma with a little orange spice. foam sud cloud head. A little hop, little bitter, dry, only the faintest sweetness, salty. apple pear, a little cidery. Different from what I usually drink and consequently a bit hard to describe, kinda fun, but not massively appealing.
re-rate on tap at monks - same overall score, didnt know it was same beer (called rogue saison). spicy suacy pepper coriander aroma. usual suspects. orange amber with medium white right head. alcoholic grass-lemon farmy, oranges. OK. alky and watery at same time. gum. So-so.

Feb 21, 2006 on tap at the Brickskeller. A very pleasent, easy drinking siason. I was rather pleased. My main opinion was that it was really, really smooth.

Feb 21, 2006 A saison looking for a raison? Very zesty - highly carbonated, zesty as in citrusy, and the combination just seems to aggravate the other. I managed to enjoy this while turning my head at awkward angles with an expression befitting a confused dog, because that’s what I wound up feeling like trying to put a finger on what was going on with this beer.

Feb 20, 2006 Golen orange color with a large frothy white head. Herbal aroma, with some citrus and grass notes. Lightly sweet, some wheat, light note of vanilla and bitter orange peel. Light soapy notes. Citrus and some earthy bitterness in the finish.
