Pours a just hazy golden amber with a medium to thick white head. Wouldn’t peg this as a saison were it not called that. Some odd aromas and flavors going on here. Little bit of bubble gum, cat pee… I’ll stop there. I struggled to put much of this one down. Finishes with a little bit of bitterness. This was rough, and I was foolish enough to force down the bulk of the glass in one go… which required a quick trip to the bathroom where it all came roaring back. Not recommended. Stick with their hoppy stuff which is pretty solid PilsnerPeter (2617), Flushing, New York, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 2, 2008 Growler shared by goldtwins (Thanks Larry!) Hazy golden pour with a fading tan head. Old, sweet fruits dominate the nose. Estery, with rotted apples and pears and a cinnamon-like spice note. Light feel on the palate. Tastes a bit chalky upfront with a rotted fruit sweetness that follows. Some old/mushy apples and maramlade-like flavors with a late, simple phenolic spiciness. Pretty much like apple sauce. Kind of simple.
