Dec 9, 2005 Pours hazy golden color with a small frothy head.i was suprised to see this was a saison.It did have some charchteristics but felt it was just an ale with citrus and spices.Just an average brew.The bottle and beer description was the most exciting.

Golden brown body with a thick rocky almond colored head. Champagne-like nose with some spice. Sour, dry malt flavor with notes of green apple and ginger. Alcohol more pronounced as beer warms. Some hops also noted at finish.

Dec 8, 2005 This saison pours a very cloudy golden color from a 22 oz etched bottle. Medium to large sized white foamy head. Aroma is fruity and spicy. A medium bodied saison. Malts are fruity, sweet and spicy. Hops are spicy. A Belgian style ale, brewed with some different spices, grain of paradise, ginger root and others, makes for a flavorful saison. Definite a saison, definitely brewed by Rogue. Interesting beer. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and dry. Aftertaste is slightly spicy.

Dec 8, 2005 There was so much going on in this beer, it was hard to really nail down a flavor. Very thick and cloudy looking. It had an odd bitter plain yogurt flavor, very rich and thick yet smooth drinking. Very interesting brew.

Dec 8, 2005 Cloudy medium orange body with a large eggshell colored head. The arom ais sweet gingerbread and carrots. There is also some orange. The taste is light ginger snap cookies and some slight spice in the finish. There is also bread crust and some sweet peanut brittle. A decent Christmas beer.

Dec 7, 2005 Poured a nice honey color with a large short lived head. All I can say about the aroma is it was "clean" tho non descript .Maybe a hint of dryer sheet. It was fairly bland with some subtle citrus/flower petal taste. Was expecting much more.

Dec 7, 2005 Aroma is very chalky with a mild spice. Flavor is mild dry, slight apple, chalk, mild hay. Drinkable but the odd dryness bugs me.
