3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
From can. Deep gold color, thick head. Herbal, grassy aroma and flavor. One of my favorites this year.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
From the can. Pours a slightly hazy dark gold body with a large thin fizzy off-white head that left some sparse lacing. The nose is grassy and earthy with a bit of that soft farmhouse character you want. Light marshmallow, yeast, and some floral notes. The flavor is dry and grassy with a nice earthy yeasty finish. Way more of that farmhouse character and funkiness than I expected. Some herbal notes lingering late in the finish. Mouthfeel is dry and medium bodied with soft fizzy carbonation. This was a pretty nice surprise, I really didn’t know what to expect from this one.

Poured on tap at Binny’s South Loop (Chicago, IL). Man, was this one for me. Poured a very lovely hazy orangish amber with a bright white thick head that sticks around beautifully and laces very well. Aromas are very nice, peachy and bubblegum notes mixed with some citrus and a decent floral bouquet. Taste is great: Initial is a touch spiced with a nice fruity mellowness - apricots, bubblegum, and a somber enjoyable malt profile that melds well with the citrusy hops. This brew was awesome, and a great experience on tap. Cheers!

Semi cloudy, semi clear yellow orange with a decent head (thin and small but it has this orange tint to it). Smell is nice with a little lemony funk to it. Flavor is dry and grassy and clean. Nice presence and finish and the dryness is nice. Low carbonation but drinkable for sure. There is a touch of a tingly spice component that stays on the tongue after you finish.

Fuzzy white head over a mid-amber body. Deep lemony/wheat nose with sweaty notes. Tart flavor with a spritzy finish. Dark malts seem to add bitterness instead of the expected sweetness. Mediocre body. Tart finish. ABV apparent. Meh.
From an old notebook. Thanks to ElGaucho for bringing this to RAYBOY01’s Fais Do Do 2007.

What a great saison. From a can or not this is a great beer. Nice body, smoothness, richness and great spice character. Nice fruit essence and some moderate hops. Really good.
