Commercial Description:
A homage to traditional European beers brewed for quenching the thirst of farm workers of "Saisonaires." A unique Belgian Saison yeast is used to impart a mixture of spice, fruity and earthy notes along with a lip smacking palatability.

Bronze, briskly carbonated brew with full, Brussels lace head. Spicy, herbal nose, with zesty yeast, and earthy pepper. Easy European hops and fruity, peppered flavors dominate. Light, piquantly peppered bitter-sour note on finish. Earthy, spicy, warming, grassy, and refreshing.

Cold 22oz bottle: Pours a cloudy medium orange color with some sediment and a small, creamy alabaster head. Aroma is of nice yeast, sweet malts, light fruits and notes of barnyard. Taste is of light malts, nice yeast, light fruits, subtle grassy hops, and notes of barnyard. Well blended, medium bodied and smooth, with playful carbonation. Ending is of subtle grassy hops and sweet malts.

Bottle in trade from joepais. (pastor) Thanks man! Pours a nice clear, bright orange color with a light whitish head. Smell is lightly funky, with yeastiness and citric tones. Taste is yeasty, sweet malt, coriander and other spices, and some citrus. A bit sweet, but otherwise has nice flavor and an average body and mouthfeel. Solid.

11/21/08 notes: bomber, part of tasting. Pours a light orange. Aroma is hoppy, with grass. Flavor is a mellow sweet, with fruit and soda cracker. This is a well-balanced brew that hides the alcohol well.
