A nice golden pour with a white head. Spicy and yeasty aroma. Highly carbonated. A little too hoppy for me. The wheat taste turns me off but then I don’t like wheat beer in general and this does have some of its characteristics

Oct 6, 2008 This was cool. Yellow pour, with white head. Very citrusy and spicy. Light body. There was some particles in the bottom of the glass....not terribly sure what to think of that..but I like this.

Sep 26, 2008 Tremendous bubbly head on top of a pale yellow hazy body. Ridiculous sediment. Not very appealing. Aroma was fantastic. Hoppy, citrusy, and mostly yeast. Taste was not as rewarding. Pretty typical saison. This is not a style I enjoy.

Sep 26, 2008 Pours with a tall white head. Aroma of herbal fruitiness with a hint of caramel. Starts a little sweet, then the sour hits and fades to an herbal finish.
My first Saison so wasn’t sure what to think. Not a big fan of the sour flavor and the herbal/astringent aftertaste, however it is strangely refreshing and I like the complexity.

Sep 19, 2008 Bottle and later on draught at lowlander. Alround rating for both times was nearly identical: Pale malts, small spicey character, peppery, fruity yeasty character, pritty malty alround. Not too exciting.
