scrizzz (1252), kirkland, Washington, USA Aug 22, 2009 Hazy golden copper, tall spongy thick head. Lemon and light white pepper and juicy orange blossom. Strong peppery and tripel notes on the palate, very spicy. xmarcnolanx (789), Kirkwood, Missouri, USA Aug 22, 2009 Holy shit.
Aroma is slightly sour- acidic, funky, yeasty, lemon. Yum.
Taste is slightly licorice, yeasty, alcoholic, oak, and funk.
This beer is a lot bigger than expected by the aroma.
I really want to like the taste, but I can’t. The taste ruins this for me. So hot!
Funky, peppery, alcoholic, dry.
CaryTheDude (1113), Longmont, Colorado, USA Aug 17, 2009 Beautiful saison. Nose of hay, grass, some good poop, some caramel, and some spice. Flavor has a nice, lemon citrus presence to add to the rest. Not as sweet as the nose, but still pretty awesome. A great dry, semi-hoppy finish goes perfectly with the rest. A bit over-carbonated but still a great saison. Really enjoyed it. demolayfire (18), Portland, Oregon, USA Aug 15, 2009 Strange... people are saying that it was too carbonated, mine was way under-carbonated, giving it a typical American Saison character, too sweet and chewy for the style, brett wasn’t even detectable, fruitiness was unappealing and not quite balanced enough by the rye. Seemed like it had potential, hopefully they work out the kinks. jerc (3861), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Aug 15, 2009 2008-08-07. Pastel golden yellow body with a frothy off white head. (4+) Pleasant aroma is lightly funky, floral, light coriander notes? (7+) Flavour is similar, light lemon and bitterness, very light funk. Alcohol is hardly noticed. Lovely! Not a lot of brett character though? Average palate suits it. (3+) Very good. More please. Bottle, Shared at Derek’s by Grub
Cletus (5002), Connecticut, USA Aug 14, 2009 Pours copper/orange with a sustained white head. Smells grassy with some dry malt and rye bread hints. Tastes perfumy, lightly bitter, dry, grassy. jvmiller (532), Bel Air, Maryland, USA Aug 13, 2009 One of the better Saisons I’ve ever had. Big alcohol, but all hidden. A very tart citrus saison, not as savory/salty as others. Good spices, present funk/sour. Very full flavor, not watery or thin at all. Although it had good carbonation, it was not a light bubbly beer, this was a heavier, although relatively dry Saison. Delectable to drink, wish I had more. bwilley (20), Fullerton, California, USA Aug 11, 2009 750ml Bottle. Cloudy orange copper with light white head and good lacing. Good aroma of yeast with a bit of citrus and bite. Very light and citrusy on the palate with nice body and punch to it. A great all around beer for the style.
