12 oz bottle. Pours almost clear root beer-brown with a medium beige head with decent retention; leaves some lace. Aroma is fresh baked bread, clove, pepper. Taste is sweet and sour with a dry hoppy finish. Body is a little thin, carbonation pretty high. This is really tasty, if not really all that saison-ish.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle: Pleasant beer. Not "dark" like a "dark" Fantome, but just a little darker than your average, run-of-the-mill saison. So I was a little disappointed there. But it’s still a decent beer. Has a reddish-brown hue with a bright white head. Light and rounded texture. Yeasty-spicy nose. Malts are sweet with elements of bread dough, candi sugar and brown sugar. Hop bitterness is extremely mild. Gentle spices surface; reminiscent of clove and allspice. Soft fruit flavors of pear, apple and white grapes. Overall, it’s "light" in more ways than it’s "dark," but it’s still tasty and pleasant.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Poured a dark copper color. A nice film of head remained in glass. Aroma is peppery, with some faint caramel, and grass, and faint hops. Lite bitter, lite sweet. Lighter bodied. Starts off with promise with some caramel and Belgium candy notes and hops, then ends with a bit of a grassy hay taste. Not bad.
