Sep 24, 2009 22 oz bomber - pours an orange color with lots of head and lacing. Aroma of citrus, spices, grass and fruit. Taste is sweet, citrusy, and fruity with some yeast as well. Nice smooth Saison that delivers as I have found most of the Smuttynose brews do. This is a very nice brew that doesn’t break the bank. I could drink this one again (and again).

Sep 22, 2009 22oz Bottle. A very well carbonated, pillowy pour of straw gold and crisp fine white head above. Aroma sends off a peach and apricot ester glow over some wheaty malt base and nice snap of yeast-based spice. Good. Flavor is expressive, if a touch hot. A bit of vibrant green peppercorn and tarragon, blended back with a touch of vermouth and some rum barrel. I love the high level of carbonation and the foamy explosiveness. It really gives the beer a fresh feel. Finishes on a brisk, grassy and green pear skin bite. Nice balance. As it warms and opens up more, it gives off a lot of apple tones.

Sep 16, 2009 Weak banana aroma. Milky golden with an enormous light yellow head. Pears, white grape, and spider web flavor, vinous. Dry and bitter finish. Thin body. A bit off balance, but still enjoyable. Pairs pretty well with Gouda fondue.

Sep 13, 2009 Bottle from Septemberfest. Cloudy gold with a lasting creamy foam. Nose of banana, white wine and funky farm. Taste is the same with a tad of toasted nut and brown sugar. Light-medium body is smooth and dryish.

Sep 10, 2009 Gravicask, one-third pint. Unclear, orange body and a minimal head. Smell of hay and spicy hops. Hoppy-herbal characteristics in flavour with a touch of yeast and a nice lingering bittersweet finish. Good (GBBF, 05.08.2009).
tronraner (1905), Maryville, Tennessee, USA
Sep 8, 2009 Bottle at lithy’s Septemberfest. Pours an orange hue of gold with big rocky offwhite head. The aroma is spicy yeast with warm wheat notes and light citrus. The flavor is mild orange and papaya with a warm bready feel. It finishes on an earthy note with angel food cake, coriander, zest, and wood. Simple, and a little sweet for the style, but still quite good.
