Dec 7, 2008 20081207 750 ml bottle, batch S8109. Hazed pale gold with steadily streaming lines of fine eff keeping aloft a fluffy white head. Aroma is lemon grassy and mildly sweet with pils type malts and some spicy yeast. Lovely, really, and inviting. The body is light and airy with prominent eff, perhaps more tingly than I would prefer but still nice and quite refreshing. No sweetness in flavor but plenty of spicy yeast, French bread notes, light fruits, wheat. Quick finish with grassy hop bite and last hit of citrus. Really nice beer I wish was available locally.

Nov 29, 2008 Bottle: Hazy light golden pour with a foamy white head. Aroma of a lot of floral yeast, sweet light malt, a hint of honey, and a bit of orange zest. Flavor is lightly sweet with a lightly spicey yeast, light hints of honey. Finishes with some wheat and a hint of bitterness. Very well blended brew.

Nov 29, 2008 Bottle thanks to Eugene. Fairly typical American-made saison, but a very good one. Bright deep golden pour with big fluffy white head. Citrus and mild spice. Nice yeasty taste. Some wheatiness and citrus zest. Very drinkable. Not quite as crisp/dry as I would have liked. Great palate. A very solid brew. I could drink this all summer.

Nov 27, 2008 750ml bottle. Pours a very pale/straw yellow color with a very effervescent and frothy white head that has decent retention and lacing. Aroma is light and citrusy, not a hop citrus, more of a lemon zest citrus. There is also a nice wheat character in the nose as well. Flavor is very nice, easy and light. There are hints of wheat and lemon zest, not too far off from a wit. It is very easy on the palate and very sessionable. It has a drawn out finish that leaves a nice taste in the back of your mouth. This is a beer that you could drink the entire 750 no problem.
