2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a small sized head of foamy white colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a softly carbonated transparent yellow colored body and a good lacing. . The semi-thick mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start and at the finish. The thick flavor contained notes of mild red malt mild hops and malt. An OK brew just nothing special.

Bottle. Golden pour with white head. Has a banana, clove and Belgian like aroma. Flavor is nowhere as vivid as its aroma. Boring.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle from Total Wine, Sacramento. Pours cloudy amber with a rich white head and a fruity aroma. There is a carbonated funky spice fruit flavor with a dry finish. Not much of a saison.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 9/20
bottle. I’ve not had good luck with shiner beers. This isn’t bad compared to the rest of their offerings, but it’s really not a very good beer. Pretty bland farmhouse with no distinct flavor.

It poured a pale amber color with a white head. The aroma was of caramel, grass, yeast and a hint of spice. The taste was of sweet malts, grass, bread and spice.

3/4/13. Bottle from PorterPounder awhile back and forgot to rate... also on tap at Dahlia’s. Hazy golden pour with a big khaki head. Overly phenolic aroma, straight up plastic, with touches of malty sweetness. Phenolics and sweet esters on the flavor. Eh.
2.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Almost a finger of head on a hazy, orange/golden colored body.
The aroma is nice: banana, grain, lemon and nectarine.
The taste is watery with hints of banana and lemon. Too mild.
The texture is soft with moderate carbonation.
Not a bad beer but the taste could have more to it.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Serving: 12 oz. bottle from Wegmans Leesburg. It pours a gold color with a small white head. The nose is weak with a plastic, yeast, and straw. The flavor had a light sweetness with slight yeast, grass, and hay notes. A little spice as well. Light in body with flabby mouthfeel. Certainly not the best example of the style.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
bottle. golden pour. main complaint is that it is just a bit watery all round - weak aroma and too mild on the saison funk for my likings. Perhaps OK as a watered down and bland version for a hot Texan summer but nothing special compared to other offerings.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Pours gold with a small white head. Somewhat sweet aroma with light notes of hay, wheat and funk. Moderately sweet flavor with hints of earth, grass and light malts. Pretty bland but unoffensive.
