Bottle shared with Blankboy & Hogtown Harry at Coles. Pours a lighter hazy brown amber. Much darker& maltier than most saisons that ive encountered. Aroma was malty, harry mentioned graham cracker & a whisp of smoke, dried fruits. Taste was malty sweet, spicy, slightly tart with dried fruit. Not really what I think of when thinking of saisons but a good beer either way

330mL bottle. Clear ruby with a beautiful eggshell creamy head. Lovely aroma of fruit, funk, and some vague spice I can’t place. Sweeter than the average saison, with lots of fresh biscuit, overripe apple, and just a hint of funk.

Bottle. [thank you, after4ever]
Pours dark amber, micro-floaties, small creamy, off-white head. Great lacings. Aroma has notes of cheese, red apples, caramel, some funk; almost like a french cider. Great, super-dry mouthfeel. Flavour has a lot of maltiness, light cellar-notes, red apples. Caramel, oranges, light funk, some brett creeps up. Well, also a little chocolate.

750ml Bottle: Aroma of butter, light funk, and dactyl. Poured amber/copper in color with a medium to large-sized, rocky, tan head that lasted throughout. Cloudy. Very sparkling. Full of small and medium-sized particles throughout. Excellent lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet. Tastes of cream, light vegetables, funk, light caramel, and pale malts. Medium body. Creamy, smooth texture. Soft carbonation. Creamy, sweet, finish.

Pours hazy copperish. Aroma is faint honey, with sweet malt and banana notes, somewhat thin and metallic.

Bottle… Lightly hazed, deep amber ale with burnt orange highlights and a small, creamy, off-white head. Decent retention. Biscuity, fruity aroma with a mild spicy phenol. Medium-bodied with gentle carbonation. Well-balanced. The flavor and finish are lightly acidic, bready, a touch funky and dry as a bone. Unfortunately, the flavor falls a bit short of the liquid luxury promised by the nose. Still, a very nice brew.

Crushed with Jakebra at the Colorado Springs Saison Festival. Nose of sweet caramel and something I just can’t put my finger on. Very dry and yeasty flavor and finish. It’s aight.
