| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 6, 2009 I sure like the 750 ml smokestack series they have come out with. This one is another good one. Hazy light golden pour with a white head. Aroma of light citrus, yeast, spices. Taste is refreshing. Spices, malt, a little citrusy, followed up by a dry finish with some spice to it. dmschefke (371), Eastpointe, Michigan, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 2, 2009 Pours a pale, hazy yellow gold with thick white head, good lacing. Aroma of yeast, grains, lemon, slight malt, decent spices, and nice hops to back it all up. Flavor matches well and comes together very nicely making for a very enjoyable and refreshing brew. Finishes a bit more dry than I would have liked, but altogether very nice. tokyogoat (529), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Sep 1, 2009 Pale straw yellow, fairly hazy, giant white head.
Nose is weak, mostly just the standard saison yeastiness.
Taste is pretty run of the mill, grainy, yeasty, nothing unexpected or world class. just a cookie cutter saison. esjaygee (1537), Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 23, 2009 750ml bottle. Very pale hazy straw yellow with a white slowly dissipating rocky top that leaves trails of lace. Aroma of heavy grains, fruit, wheat, spicy yeast, grassy hops and toasted hay. Flavors include pale malt, a touch of honey, wheat, grassy hops and mild fruit. It finishes up dry with a spicy peppery finish. Pretty good beer, got a bit redundant along the way but my second foray into the smokestack series was another winner. boFNjackson (1311), Portland, Oregon, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 13, 2009 I had this from a 750 during a sampling at a beer tasting. I didn’t take specific notes, but I remember it being pretty tasty but also relatively average. RCL (1480), Waltham, Massachusetts, USA
