3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 PhillyCraft (1964) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 3, 2011
Pours wheat golden with a slight amber tint. Huge, frothy white head which clears out rather quickly. Aroma of oak, hops, cherry, wheat, malts, and slight bready hints. Body is mild with a pleasingly crisp tartness, especially in the finish. The cherry is not too evident in the flavor; much more earthy and wood taste. Overall a bit of a disappointment, as I excpect a lot from Southern Tier, but still a very enjoyable, drinkable saison.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 rosenbergh (4653) - Helsinki, FINLAND - JAN 18, 2011
650 ml bottle. Finland.
Cloudy amber colour with tiny white head.
Caramel, fruit, malt, toffee, butterscotch, sour cherries and strawberries gone off in aroma. Sour flavour is cherries, strawberries and berries in general but all gone bad. Even though the berries are gone bad it works brilliantly here. Just perfect combination of sourness and sweet butterscotch. Just excellent Saison. Well, to be honest this ain’t that Saison-y after all.

(22oz bomber thanks to Exiled) clear bright orange-yellow with a few fine white bubbles. Nose of cherry, spices, candied fruit, Belgian yeast. Taste of candied oranges, bitter orange peel, light alcohol, wheat, and some lightly sweet cherry in the background. Oily medium body, well carbonated. Rhubarb and artificial cough syrup type linger on this one.
