| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 6, 2009 Cask gravity at GBBF ’09. This kicked off the second day. Slightly hazy copper colour. Sour fruity aroma with a hint of the floor polish they used when I was at school.
And a bit of bacon. Taste is sweet and sugary, perhaps too much so. A little dryness. Complex and interesting. emacgee (1864), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 6, 2009 Pours a straw gold with some haze with two fingers offwhite head sitting atop. Aroma displays a definitive yeast character with spicy notes and some phenol coming through. Very citrusy in the nose as well with notes of ripe orange and citrus rind with a mildly grassy background. The flavor is very fruity with upfront citrus rind and earthy yeast, spicy notes and a dry finish. Flavor doesn’t have as many distinctive tiers of character as the aroma does. Palate is dry with a nice citrus rind bitterness. TURDFERGUSON (1601), Carrboro, North Carolina, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 5, 2009 Bottle shared by Ethan. A pretty nice American saison here but still lacking the depth and finesse of some of it’s Belgian brothers and sisters. Nice citrus and earthy flavors with a relatively dry finish. A little juicy, but a nice brew from sluttyhose nonetheless. j12601 (1231), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA

Pouring at their booth at BCTC. Pours a clearish light brown amber with a thin white head. Candy, plums, lemon, and wheat on the nose. Thin to medium bodied, with a nice zesty lemon component. A bit grassy. Finishes crisp with a light bitterness. Nice easy saison.

Poured a slightly hazed orange with a smaller bright white fluffy head. Fruity and doughy aroma. Smooth body that was slightly creamy and highly quaffable. Aroma is fruity and grainy with only a light touch of spice. Rather nice. kevd193213 (491), Hope Valley, Rhode Island, USA
