Pawola22 (676), Kansas City, Missouri, USA Jun 7, 2009 On tap at Bruery’s tap room in Placentia. Pours a hazy, golden body with a huge, white, frothy head that dissipates slowly and leaves a moderate lacing. Aroma is wheat and a moderately spiced yeast. Some fruity Belgian yeast as well with some citrus and bready malts. Flavor is peppery, yeasty, earthy, bready, and moderately sweet with some mixed fruits and citrus. Finishes with a light astringency and a growing grassy bitterness. Medium bodied, dry, soft carbonation, and a long lingering bitterness. Overall, a pretty solid saison. Sweet, but a pronounced spicing and long, lingering taste. Good one. halfonit (419), Fall River, Massachusetts, USA Jun 7, 2009 Has a cloudy golden color. Smells like cheap french perfume, leathery. Tastes is full of floral, yeast flavors. Has a smooth finish. JFURYCAT (782), East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, USA May 31, 2009 I enjoyed this one during our tenth wedding anniversary and it worked well with a cold end of May night and its warm yeasty texture with some bitter hops in the background (hallertauer? German?). The rye really works with this one and seems to meld well with the sweetness without creating an odd bready sensation I’ve gotten with other beers which utilize rye. Dry and a lot of carbonation (big head). yobdoog (1420), Woodridge NY, New York, USA May 21, 2009 Nice looking beer. Aroma is pepper, spices and some earthyness and moss. Taste is a little dirty with belgian spices and some sweetness. GMCC2181 (845), Bear, Delaware, USA May 19, 2009 Bottle from spark27! Nice bright orange color, followed by a monster head that took a while to settle. Classic saison aroma of yeasty, dirt and earthy notes. With a sourish brett in there as well. Taste is the same, yeasty and earthy. This one had just the right touch of brett in there, not to sour or over powering. Nice carbonation level. Smooth and easy to drink. Wish I had another bottle. Oh well... Thanks E! bitbucket (2026), Kirkland, Washington, USA May 17, 2009 Pours cloudy apricot with a lacy white head. Light aroma of spice and lemon funk. Light body and active carbonation. Funky apricot taste. BuckeyeBoy (1639), Boise, Idaho, USA May 16, 2009 Bottle Pours out a apricot color topped with a cream white head. Aroma was nice lots of spice, pepper, brett, and some sweet malts. Tast was more of the Brett and lots of spice. A nice fruit and malt on it was well. A very nice body. rustychiles (997), Mesa, Arizona, USA May 5, 2009 Pours a hazy orange with 3 fingers of foamy active fluffy ice cream cone head. I turn my back and come back expecting the head to have settled and its now more like 4 or 5 fingers of head and a inch above the top of the glass. Aroma is spices, yeasts, bretty funk, esthers, pepper, citrus, malt. Flavor is esthers, bretty funky goodness, spices, malt, yeasts, some bitterness and citrus, grass and sulfur. Really nice Saison.
