Aug 22, 2008 Bottle. Pours cloudy orange-copper, with a 1 finger fluffy off-white head. Aroma is peppery clove, citrus and apricot, with an earthy, barnyard quality and a hint of herbal hops. Taste is complex - sour apple, sweet grainy malt and tropical fruit, with a light wet hay and barnyard funk on the finish. It’s that signature farmhouse complexity, blended so well together that it’s hard to pull any one flavor out. Medium body with a light but crisp carbonation. Really nice beer.

Aug 12, 2008 Date: 08/12/08, 22 oz. bottle
Aroma -Inviting fruity aroma of peaches and apricots, giving way to some earthiness and finally a hint of peppery spice
Appearance - Pours a foggy orange with a fluffy white head that settles to a small layer that persists to the last swallow. Lace is spotty and slippery.
Flavor - Fruity sweetness hits early, a twinge of sourness follows, and finally a tangy and palate drying bitterness presents itself.
Palate - Medium body and carbonation, satisfying and palate coating mouthfeel
Overall- This a very nice saison, full of flavor, well balanced, and very refreshing.

Aug 6, 2008 Just the right amount of spice, not overwhelming. A little sweet with a great aroma.

Aug 3, 2008 Golden pout with healthy white head. Spicey, sweet fruit aromas. Yeasty, sweet malt and spicy mouthful. a little bit of fruit funk at the end combined with a nice mouthfeel makes this pleasant indeed and not your average saison.

Jul 26, 2008 On tap at Max’s in Baltimore. Dark golden color, thick white head. Nose is sweetish, bready and malty, more reminiscent of a German bock. Flavor is fairly sweet, caramel-malty, a little spicy, a bit sticky and lacking much bitterness or dryness. Not bad but bot my cup of tea. As an aside, I worry that this could give some people the wrong idea about saisons.

Jul 25, 2008 22oz bottle from Canal’s, 2006 bottle. Cloudy light orange pour with some still impressive carbonation. Strong yeasty aroma is very appealing right off the bat, and there are some spices evident there as well, giving this brew a nice and appropriate character. The spices aren’t quite evident enough in the taste, but they are detectable. Mostly there’s some bite from the hops, a pleasantly full body, and some delicious funk. Comes across almost like a danker version of Hennepin.
