3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 suprchunk (802) - Heinsberg, GERMANY - JAN 31, 2012
Rich toffee colored pour. Giant off-white head. Slowly falls and leaves a good bit of lacing behind. Slightly sour carbonic aroma. Some malt, hops and an earthiness to it. Sweet taste of malt, with some caramel. Slightly dry, but sweet. Dry finish with a clipping bitterness. Nice beer.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 hivemind (352) - New York, New York, USA - JAN 29, 2012
On draft @ Tap Room 307 yesterday with Andy, Maggi, Dubra. Poured into Delirium snifter. Bright, deep orange color with white head and a lot of webby lacing. Smells alright, nothing crazy, some herbal notes there. Flavor is herbal, yeasty and somewhat medicinal. A lot of dry peach/pear, which I almost forgot about before reading other reviews. That was probably the biggest takeaway. Unique for a saison in that there isn’t really any funkiness or a barnyardy sort of palate. Mostly Belgian yeast with some fruit, spice and cough drop. Pretty good, but lacks the zest I hope for with the style.

33cl bottle. Pours copper with almost no head. Good lacing, looks sticky. Aroma is sugar, some alcohol, fruits and sugar again. Taste is not different: sugaru with hints of alcohol and fruits. Too soft carbonation to me. Too sweet either. No, thanks.

From bottle. Brown, cloudy. A very sweet beer, with a slight acidity in the finish to balance it. Lots of caramel. Fruity. Very good for a sweet-tooth like me.
