Appearance: Pours a clear, copper body with a tall, though thinning, white head.
Smell: Pale and wheat maltiness done up right with crisped sugars and spice and maybe a bit of lavender. Infused with a few added drops of orange citrus oils. Distant note of red wine, like someone dropped a bottle in the next room.
Taste: Soft malted wheat sweetened with citrus-flavored candy and vanilla-lavender ice cream. Dash of spice. Slight pear fruitiness. A pucking red wine component jumps in and out of the flavor. Finishes creamy, warming, and rather dry.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Very velvety texture.
Drinkability: A nice saison, albeit an even more very different kind of 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.
