Commercial Description:
A homage to traditional European beers brewed for quenching the thirst of farm workers of "Saisonaires." A unique Belgian Saison yeast is used to impart a mixture of spice, fruity and earthy notes along with a lip smacking palatability.

Bottle. Orange brown pour with a medium off white head. Aroma of caramel, oranges and yeast. Taste is surprisingly dominated by malt and finishes with some bread and spices.

Dark orange light brown head. Aroma is sweet and malty with some spice. Smooth taste with a little bitter bite with some earthy spice. Nice body, some wheat and creamyness.

Draft at Rattle ’n Hum. Poured a hazy light orange-gold color. The head was white and left some lace behind on the glass. Attractive aromas of butter, caramel, and orange. Medium bodied and slightly sweet with yeasty bread dough, baking spices, and a light fruity note. Seemed like there was more alcohol than 7.4%. Very good.

Traded bottle. Definitely a Belgian backbone in this beer. Nice hazy orange colour with a small white head. Aroma was mostly malt and sweet fruits. Flavour was more of the same but also some yeast and then a big dose of spice hits your lips at the finish. Pleasant.

Bottle Pours a cloudy gold with a decent white head. The head lasts okay and seems to lace nicely. Has a nice sweet malt aroma with hints of yeast. Also pick up some mild fruits. Has a good carbination and a nice mouthfeel. Has a nice finish. The flavor is blended nicely. Does not seem as high in ABV as it is. Alcohol is blended nicely.

Bomber. Pours a deep golden copper with a nice fluffy off white head and some lace. A roma is a bit stale- earthy , herbal light diminsihing hops, ok slightly stale crackery malts, light pilsa nd carapils- with a wierd solvent almost vodka like alcohol kick. Flavor is a bit dulle, diminshed spiciness and yeastiness dull hops and malt is a bit dull as well- could be a bit old- 2007 bottle I think? Finish has more solvent and fusels,- and more vodka sharp alcohol. Meh.

Bronze, briskly carbonated brew with full, Brussels lace head. Spicy, herbal nose, with zesty yeast, and earthy pepper. Easy European hops and fruity, peppered flavors dominate. Light, piquantly peppered bitter-sour note on finish. Earthy, spicy, warming, grassy, and refreshing.

Cold 22oz bottle: Pours a cloudy medium orange color with some sediment and a small, creamy alabaster head. Aroma is of nice yeast, sweet malts, light fruits and notes of barnyard. Taste is of light malts, nice yeast, light fruits, subtle grassy hops, and notes of barnyard. Well blended, medium bodied and smooth, with playful carbonation. Ending is of subtle grassy hops and sweet malts.
