Dec 3, 2005 22 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with a 1" fluffy almost white head. Aroma is of Belgian yeast, grassy hops, and ginger. Very fruity overall. Funky fruity and yeasty flavor. Definate orange peel and ginger notes, but I don’t know about the rest of the crazy ingredients. Dry finish with some hops present. Finish actually became pretty rough and overly spiced as I got further into the bottle and as it warmed. Lively carbonation, medium bodied. Rather fizzy on the tongue. Not sure this is a Saison exactly, more like a Belgian Wit with a little bit more spicyness. These guys make some good beer, pass on this one and get something else when you’re at the store.

Dec 2, 2005 22oz bottle. Pours a dark cloudy orange with a big off-white head. Smells spicy and yeasty. Taste is more of the same, and I must say there is a crapload of sediment @ the bottom, which I didn’t enjoy on my second half of the bottle. Not impressed with this one.

Dec 2, 2005 Poured a cloudy orange color with small head. I must have been sick because all I could get for aroma was a musty, dirty sock smell. Taste included a lot of hops as well as wheat, cloves, and a hint of apple. I’m not exactly sure I’ve had this type of beer and I don’t know how I feel about it just yet...

Dec 2, 2005 Pours vomit colored with a white head. Aroma is wheat and BMC. Flavor is a bit sour with out of place spices. Quite dry and very hoppy. Like floral/grass hops and spices. Not very good. Saison my ass.

Dec 1, 2005 22 oz. bottle. Pour is a cloudy honey/orange color with a HUGE and fizzy light-tan head. Very wheaty and musty aroma that features some citrusy/yeasty tanginess along with orange peels, lemons and pepper. Light body, but also fairly smooth. Very spicy throughout. Some citrusy flavors start off. Floral and herbaceous. Ginger, nutmeg, coriander and orange rinds are all present. A terrific peppery finish.

Dec 1, 2005 (Bottle) Pours a thick, murky orangish brown body with a average-sized off-white head. Aroma of florals, citrus, and ginger. Flavor of orange peel, banana, nutmeg, and ginger. The second half of the bottle was quite gritty and lost my appeal for this beer.
Sham (1846), Seattle, Washington, USA
Nov 30, 2005 Dark orange with a white frothy head. Some spots of lace. Aroma is wheaty and full of spicy yeast. A touch peppery with hints of cloves. The flavor is very spicy. Coriander and pepper stands out. Orange and ginger along with some bitterness. A little bit of heat in the finish accompanied by a husky quality.

Nov 29, 2005 Cloudy orange. Wheaty and spices aroma. Taste is refreshing. Vanilla, cinnamon, orange, citrus. A good winter warmer without too harsh flavor. Hard to believe Old Chicago in Eden Prairie actually carries a beer from Rogue. From the other ratings, I have to think this is somewhat underrated. Even my buddy who doesn’t drink lots of odd styles of beer thought this tasted excellent.
