| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | 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. KSS (102), Plymouth, Minnesota, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | 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. heemer77 (4303), Savannah, Missouri, USA

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | 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. jeffin7 (610), Silver Spring, Maryland, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | 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.
