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.

22oz Bomber from Pizza Plant Walker. Not as spicy as previous saisons. Perhaps a bit too cold. Sweet malts present. Nice color tasted almost more like an Alt to me rather than a saison.

Bottle: Clear golden copper color with a white head. Aroma, grassy, floral hops, some caramel. Flavor, citrus, a slight funk, yeasty, and some pale malts. Solid brew.

Pours a crisp amber color with a decent head. I could smell orange, malt and carmel on the nose. The taste is sweet carmel, malt and yeast. A rather sour finish.

Bottle sampled on 8/9/06: Slightly hazy dark golden pour has a big, nicely-lacing frothy off-white head. Lightly spiced toasty biscuity malty aroma. Body starts with a full, sweet caramel maltiness with some dry grassy earthy notes and a good, sweet, slightly warming finish. A nice saison.

(22 oz bottle) Slightly orange gold. Very small off white head with a little lace. Slightly fruity aroma. Flavor is yeast and fruit - green apples and apricot.

Pours a cloudy amber with a smallish head. A very orangey, slightly pithy aroma. A spicy undercurrent comes with a mellow fruitiness. This is much hoppier than expected, but it melds well with the rest of the flavors and aromas. This is really a solid beer.

A great representation of a farmhouse ale with a nice farmhouse mule kick in the ass. Pours a light gold with high carbonation and a lot of fizz. Smelled of clean hops and fresh citrus. The flavor was surprisingly light for such a high abv%. Very classy.

22 oz. bottle from my Secret Santa - Pours a clear golden color with a one and a half finger thick off white head. Lively carbonation with tiny bubbles. Nice lacing. Aroma is full of esters, spice and yeast. Flavor is fruity and slightly bitter. Has a dry, lingering palate. Medium body. A nice beer. Thanks Andy.
