(750ml bottle, 2011 vintage) Pours a golden body with a tall foamy white head. Aroma of florals, grass, lemon zest, and mustiness. Flavor of grass, florals, pepper, and earth with a dry finish.

I brought to RBWG-750-thanks hbmason for the trade–pours a tight off white head and yellow/gold color. Aroma is yeast, bready-light malt, some grassy/lemon. Taste is yeast/wood, bready-light malt, some grassy/lemon.

A hazey blonde golden saison with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet pears with light orange peels, light peppery notes, nice. In mouth, a nice smooth saison with sweet notes, orange pulp. light coriander, quite nice. Bottle at Mondial 2011, June 9 2011.

Nice goldenish pour. Aroma is lightly spicy, yeasty, wheat, earthy. Flavor is fruity, dry, crisp, yeasty, earthy. Good stuff. Really nice.

My Bottom Line:
Exuberant yeast showcases banana esters and dough within buoyant floral, herbal hops and comfortable cereals for a delicious American Saison.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam covers the misty golden.
-The fluffy natural carbonation made this quite drinkable.
-The flavor profile is perhaps more intense than your average Saison.
-The yeast signature was quite loud throughout, but it never felt out of place.
-Citrus fruit emerged once in a while.

Bottle at the double 5k tasting. Pours a hazed gold with a medium sized white head. Big fuzzy musk, citrus and toast. Spicy yeast, musky. Medium bodied, huge carbonation. Toasty wheat, and a big musky phenolic yeast filled finish.

In short: A rustic, tasty, fruity and slighlty tart blond Saison. Very good.
How: From a bottle at Mondial de la Bière 2011
The look: Almost clear light blond body topped by a small white head
In long: Nose is quite rustic with notes of sweet bananas and mangos. Nice full body with a fluffy mouthfeel and a lively carbonation. Taste showcases the rustic character of the beer with both a dusty attic and a barnyard sensation. Plenty of fruity flavors including bananas, mangos and lemon zest. Light hops presence that feels a bit herbal, a bit flower petals. Finish is quite dry A nice tartness. A friend told me that I have to like this beer if I like Saison. He was right but don’t you hate people that let other people tell them what to think? Of course you do.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden body with a white head and decent retention. Aromatically spicy, phenols, yeast y earth, light funky tones. A hint of peppercorn, wheat, doughy body and a drying lemon finish. Decent offering.

Bottle at Paul’s and Ryan’s tasting. Pours cloudy yellow. Nose of wheat and yeast, some citrus and grains. Taste of grains, wheat, yeast and peppercorn.
