Cloudy amber beer, thin head, weak aroma with hints of ginger and spicy hops. Texture is like light syrup. Flavor is sweet and has an apple aftertaste. There is a medium stength bite and a burn on the backend.

Dec 16, 2009 On tap at flying saucer. Pours a cloudy amber with a small creamy white head that leaces good sticky lacing. The aroma is a dark fruity malt with clove and caramel. Medium mouthfeel with a dry malt with raisin and clove with a nice dry finish. Hides the alcohol well making it very easy to drink. A very good belgian strong ale from (512).

Nov 5, 2009 Tap at Flying Saucer Austin. Cloudy, pale yellow. Nose is sweet and yeasty. Taste is a bit hoppy, spicy, sweet, and yeasty. A bit sweet for me. Thinnish body. Not bad but I could only drink one of these at a sitting.

Nov 4, 2009 On draught at the Draught House a couple of months ago. Nice aroma of fruit and malt (thank you Forbidden Fruit yeast!!)! It doesn’t taste like 8% so it goes down easy. Nice Belgian characteristics all-around. I’d drink another...or three.

Oct 26, 2009 Growler thanks to Fratto. the look is clear, with a beige colored head. The smell is belgian, spices, fruits, and basic for the style. The taste is fruits, some bitterness, belgian, yeast, and sweet.

Oct 18, 2009 Served by Rebecca at Flying Saucer in Austin. Xander tagging along. So this is their anniversary saison! Cloudy amber, looks tasty! Middle is dark and brownish, top/bottom (thinner) is more orange. Thin, soapy head. Aroma of yeast and soap. Flavor... lot like a homebrew, what you taste when you get a mouthful while siphoning. Not very lively in the mouth, a liitle flat. Subdued, muddy palate. Easy to drink, that’s for certain. Nice lacing though.
Smells like a brewpub beer, tastes like a homebrew. Further drinks taste surprisingly sweet. Nice balance. Nothing worse (almost) than an oversweetened saison. Additional sips taste increasingly more Belgian.
