2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
2004 bottle. Hazy golden with a lot of sediment. Thin head. Cellar nose, strangely watery body. Hints of cream and rubber. Coconut finish. Unexpectably bland.
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Out of the bottle the aroma of spicy yeast is amazing. I almost appreciate the aroma of this fine saison more than the flavor. Pours a slightly hazy straw golden with beautifully spritzy carbonation. Make sure to have 2 or 3 tulips ready when you pour because the carbonations forms a huge head that is retained very well. Drinks with a very dry, yet fruity flavor with semi-lingering finish. I just love Saison & this one is on the top of my list. I appreciate the bone dry & spicy aspects to this beer and wish that more American brewers produced a beer with theses characteristics as opposed to the more fruity, sweet side. Blaugies never lets me down.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
My label looks nothing like the picture here, but all of the info matches properly. This is similar in profile to Dupont, but slightly sweeter and a little less bitter. Still a terrific saison.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
’05 bottle shared by bstill. Thanks Brian! Nose is a little funky with some barnyard notes. Flavor is slightly spicey and dry with some mild citrus and more yeast. Good stuff.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle: Poured a hazy yellow to straw color with a fluffy white head. The aroma was barn yard with yeasts and some sour fruits. The taste is acidic, very spicy with fruit.
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
750 ml bottle. A very cloudy golden beer with a huge and persistent white head. The aroma is fantastic, more hoppy and yeasty than malty. There are notes of grass, herbs, hay, citric fruits and some spices. The flavour has a light sweetness and a balanced acidity. Again very grassy with some fruity and spicy notes. Medium body, lively carbonation, dry, medium lenght finish with moderate bitterness. Fantastic aroma, balanced tartness, lovely flavours, maybe a longer finish (that however is very clean) would have helped. But this is a very good stuff.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
75cl bottle courtesy of markwise purchased at Knightly Spirits (Orlando, FL). Pours a dark golden color with a very thick, creamy white head that settles slowly. Smells of spice, wheat, yeast, malt. Flavor has notes of citrus and hops with a slightly dry character. Lacks depth, but a drinkable saison.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On KBW in Vichte (B). A hazy yellow colored beer, with a nice white head. In the aroma are some light spices and there is yeast. In the back some fruits. It has a dry taste, hop bitter, also a little sweet of fruits. There is a light bitter aftertaste.
