greenleaf (78), Florida, USA Apr 7, 2008 Bottle, corked and caged. Pours a rich and cloudy golden yellow with a substantial white head. The aroma is sweet, sour, and spicy. The tast is excellent with so much carbonation it does wonders on your palate. This is my first saison. Very nice.
Bhops (170), Dallas, Texas, USA Jul 25, 2008 bottle at louie’s. Man this is a great beer. Well balanced like the commercial description says. And understated. Aroma of yeast and floral hops. Wonderfully mild farmhouse flavor with dry finish. BoBoChamp (299), Gent, Belgium Jul 21, 2008 75cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, easy to drink, yet complex, cloudy, rocky head, good brew Dr_Funk (56), Sorumsand, Norway Jul 20, 2008 bottle from monopoly outlet, Oslo. Pours hazy orange with large white head. Carrotjuice and scotch whiskydistillery on the nose. Nice and dry. I expected more fruityness. Very dry finish paytoplay (27), , California, USA Jul 18, 2008 Has anyone ever confused this with a hefeweizen? Color and palate seem very similar. I’ve had this beer plenty of times but my 1st rating of it when the beer is in front of me. Aroma is captivating. Some slight bitter and off flavors on the finish. Floral, hay, summer day in the mountains cool refreshing type of beer, yet still showing a lot of hops. Could see how this could be considered the model all other Saison’s are produced from. There is a weight and concentration I can’t remember any other Saison having. I believe the cork was branded with the year, 2008. Very nice feature. jujubeast6000 (451), Houston, Texas, USA Jul 16, 2008 750mL: Pours a cloudy yellow opaque, big white head, decent lacing. Aroma of flowers, some hops, subtle aroma. Flavor reminiscent of Hoegaarden, very strong perfume, frothy, warm, good mouthfeel.
