Jan 11, 2009 Hazy copper color; compact head, big. Herbal aroma (rosemary, heather…). Good body, sweetish malt, a bit herbal too. Peculiar, but not special.

Jan 11, 2009 Bottle from Systembolaget.
Light hazel colour with a short lasting head. The aroma is a lot like a triple and the taste is like a saison but a lot more heavy. Experimental and well brewed as always from Stone.

Jan 10, 2009 Bottle. Golden colour. Smells banana and cinnamon. Tastes apricot, spices and raisins (the tastes reminds me of a barley wine). I’d rather have a regular sophisticated belgian saison instead of this extreme interpretation of the style. This is an OK beer though.

Jan 9, 2009 Had this in Chimay glass, 65 cl bottle. nice mix of a Belgian tripel and saison but not really all persuasive. Nice clear golden elegant appearance. Lots of Belgian yeast flavor here. A lot of citrus, caramel and coriander will hit your nose and along the road gentle tones of apple, pear and seville orange will follow you all the way. The taste in my mouth was like a mixture of an orange effervescent tablet and grapefruit with light hints of almond, apple and lots of coriander. This beer has a light sweet initial flavor with an acidic, moderate and pretty long bitter finish. This one would go nicely with white meat like chicken and lots of sunshine.. Sadly I drank it during the Swedish wintertime, ha. Anyway, its good but I had much better saisons and much better tripels. I hope they keep it up, I know I will. Cheers.

Dec 30, 2008 Cloudy light orange red color...lacing forming even before the first sip...tan head...smells of spicec reminiscent of a pumpkin beer...I smell the ginger...complexities a many...belgian yeast is the first thing I taste...ginger and citrus follow..with a dry spicy finish...mid palate is the strangest part...I almost taste nothing for a split second ...then orange...its good not per say my favorite style...but it will need some proper aging on the rack...orange distinct in the finish along with the cardamom and lemon zest...mixed feelings about this one...I dont really care for ginger

Dec 27, 2008 Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a cloudy orange-amber color with a small tan head that faded quickly and numerous floaters throughout. The aroma was sweet grapefruit and light peppermint. The flavor was sweet, tangy and had notes of grapefruit and pine. The finish was short, lightly tart and bitter. The body is fairly thick and the alcohol is well hidden. Nice
