This was a very cloudy beer. It tasted a little like an orange. It did not have much of an after taste and the flavor was very unique.

hopdog (6943) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 11, 2005
When opened, some foam kept coming out of the bottle (but not a gusher). Poured a light to medium golden color with a large and lightly off white head. Aromas of yeast, spices and a little fruity. Tastes of fruits, lemons, and spices. I actually didn’t really care too much for this one as the tastes and aromas did not work for me.

erway (1004) - Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA - DEC 11, 2005
Pours a very murky unfiltered apple-juice like body with a fizzy white head. Aroma of cider with a fair amount of acidity and a concophony of spices. Body is thin and fizzy. Flavors are med. sweet with a ton of apple-like acidity. Phenols are everywhere and are not pleasant at all. Finish is heavily acidic. It hink ferment temps. must have gotten away from them. Worst rogue beer I have had.

Thick yeasty yellow. Nose of a lot of sugar and yeast. Flavor reminds me of an apricot dough. Nice spice on the finish.

Hangover (926) - Atlanta, USA - DEC 10, 2005
Murky brown pour with an off-white head. Spicy, yeasty aroma. Nice creamy mouthfeel, heavily carbonated... more spice in the finish. Some dough and yeast plows through. Overall, pretty good. Pretty good, not stellar.

Gachupines (471) - USA - DEC 10, 2005
Light amber with a white head. Taste is mostly yeast and spice with some clove flavor and hops in the mix. Overall nothing special but decent enough. Average overall, below average for a saison.

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.

12/5/05: Bottle.
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.
