Feb 19, 2009 Thanks to hopscotch for bringing this to redlight. Orangey body with white head. Has the wine hints coming through in the aroma. Feels just like a saison. The malts under the saison spiciness are awesome.

Feb 19, 2009 Bottle… This beer rocks!... Hazy golden ale with a mid-sized, frothy, white head. Fantastic retention. Awesome aroma – pale grains, red wine, oak and a touch of vanilla. Medium to full-bodied with mellow carbonation. No real balance. Moderate to medium pale malt sweetness, modest red wine acidity and gentle, oaken earthiness. Finishes sweet and mildly acidic. World class saison!

Jun 11, 2008 On tap at 5 Seaons North. Tried with Atlanta ratebeer crew. Red-orange color. Flat. Lots of oak and red wine in the aroma. Pretty nice. Kind of a bretty like phenolics, which I think might be an illusion from the oak aging. Pretty good.

Jun 8, 2008 Noogfest ’08. The body was hazy dark amber with a white head. The aroma was grapefruit with some floral hints. There was also some cheap hard candy and brandy. The taste was bread and cherries. Interesting and sweet.

Jun 7, 2008 At Noogfest Four-O. Pours orange with beige head. The aroma is lots of spices, yeast, pear, and muffins. Flavor is very bready, with some mild woody and fruity tones. Sweetish aftertaste. Pretty good.

Aroma: aroma is pretty much unchanged,
Flavor: flavor is getting a lot more agressive on the oak and spices, sweet winey fruit is still strong but playing a supporting role,
