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.

Really great beer, you have to just put it in your mouth and you’ll love it. Smooth, crisp, deep, and high alcohol... Really fun!

Wonderful fruit-forward saison-"style" beer, but definitely departs greatly from the style. Big fruit aroma and taste. Not much carbonation. Very smooth, and quite high in ABV -- 9.3 -- but is cloy. Some discernible Belgian yeast, but really we're talking fruit fruit and more fruit here. I like it! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

A little light on the saison vibe. Pours golden clear. Aroma of booze and some florals though influence is light. Average carbonation, consistency. Taste alittle astringent. Sours after a few breaths. Tap at Coles during some 18 year old Mardi Gras party.

Bottle. Pours a hazy copper color with a moderate white head. Nose has a fair amount of citrus in it with a little bit of "farm" in the nose. Taste has some sour notes in there, which is nice. It’s an easy drink.

Sigh, The "unique" saison yeast isnt a saison yeast. Tastes like sweet blonde ale with some fruity character. I love saisons and this makes me mad.

Bottle poured into glass. Orange color with a cloudy center. Orange zest in the aroma, followed by spicy citrus in the flavor. Not too bad.
