Oct 1, 2006 Bottle at RBSG Grand Tasting, July 2006. After tasting a fair few saisons on my travels in the US, I’d have to say this exhibits some of the attributes of the American take on the style. That is to say rather cleaner, smoother and fruit influenced than the Belgian style without much in the way of earthy, funky character. Fairly estery aroma with apples and peaches to the fore. Some yeasty notes. Quite dry on the palate with plenty of bready malt, almost grainy. More fat yeast and juicy fruit with just a hint of acidity. Sweetish edge on the finish. Interesting but I’d prefer a bit more farmyard character.

Jul 20, 2006 1 L swingtop bottle, 2006 RBSG, provided by the Atlanta Crew. Pours a clear light gold with a fizzy white head that settled to a whispy film. Aroma is very fruity with a light tartness and a little lemon. The flavor is a little thin and hard to pin down, lightly sour, with a spicy light malt base. A little dryness on the finish that has an almost oak tannin like quality. Mouthfeel is light bodied with fizzy carbonation. It’s trying to be creamy but it’s not quite there. Overall, either there’s just something missing here or I just don’t get it.

Jul 18, 2006 RBSG 2006 - Grand Tasting. Body is gold with some visible jets of carbonation and a modest, off-white head. Pear-like esters in the aroma, plus faint green apple notes, and a light biscuity quality. Flavor has a really nice bouquet with pleasantly dry honeytones and some light, pale fruity tartness. A nice, elegant beer.
