3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Clear pale gold pour with abundant frothy white head. Aroma is slightly earthy, light hops, a touch of spice, saison yeast. Taste is light, crisp grain, light spicy yeastiness. Palate is well carbed and quite dry. Not an unbelievable sensorial experience, but a very solid beer, quite true to style by SN.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Caged and corked 750mL pours crystal clear gold with copper core and slightly frothy near white head. The aroma is a little apple flavored cotton candy that slides into some yeasty saison spices and a touch of funky yeastiness. The taste is similar but seemingly brighter with sweet apples and pear fruity ester notes and then picking up saison yeasty spices as well as a bit of bubble gum and clove. Decent enough.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Location: 750 ml bottle from Buy Rite, 10/16/12
Aroma: The nose is full of sweet Belgian yeast, with a good amount of spice, floral notes, and fruity notes
Appearance: It pours a lightly hazy orange color with a creamy, long lasting white head and medium lace
Flavor: The taste is well-balanced with a nice flow between the light sweetness, light spice, and mild bitterness
Palate: This one is medium bodied, it is fairly smooth feel, it works nicely on the mouth, and a has a clean finish
Overall Impression:
Overall, I felt like this one was really just a solid example of the style. It really didn’t miss at all, all the aspects worked, and it was just a very very solid Saison overall. However, I still felt like something was lacking, it felt a little one-speed/one-note, and really, it just isn’t a complete hit.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
A great beer with lots of taste. A nice mix of fruity, citrus aromas mixed with some bitter flavors (peppery/lemon zest). A nice beer to enjoy on a hot summer day.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
This corked and caged bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a head of all foam finely sized white colored bubbles that were long lasting and left behind a softly carbonated semi-hazy yellow colored body and a thick foamy lacing. The aroma was hoppy floral and musty. The semi-flat mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start and at the finish. The strong flavor contained notes of floral and malt. A decent one that I would consider drinking again. Nice for a Saision.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A hazed golden ale with a thick frothy off white head. In aroma, a nice smooth fruity malt with orange peels, coriander, classic. In mouth, a nice smooth sweet and fruity malt with nice curacao and berry notes. Tasted with GRM, Probstblueribbon and Ian, July 20 2012.
