illinismitty (1449), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Jun 2, 2008 Bottle at Noogfest 08. Pours pale hazy gold with a white head. Aroma of lemon and belgian funk. Flavor of lemon, yeast, pale belgian malts, and light honey. Finish is dry with notes of white pepper, and a very slight distracting hard water or minerally flavor. Kudos to Boulevard for releasing some solid bottle conditions beers. I can’t wait to try the others.
Snojerk321 (1008), San Diego, California, USA Oct 6, 2008 750ml bottle from South Bay Drug. Pours a deep golden color, completely hazed with a two finger off white head. Nose of spice, yeast and some funky citrus fruit. Flavor was much of the same with more emphasis on the spice. Beer was medium in body with a fairly smooth ad spicy finish. KAggie97 (1918), Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA Oct 5, 2008 Bottle. Pours a nice, cloudy yellow with an aroma of honey-glazed hay and grass. A coppery hops presence is immediately noticeable in the taste, followed by a sour herbal blend that seems a bit stale. Average mouthfeel. Not at all what Ilook for in a saison. Big disappointment from a great brewery. biz82 (1321), austin, Texas, USA Oct 4, 2008 Bottle. Nice big fluffy head tops a well carbonated haze pale gold pour. Spicy wheat aroma with some lemon. Very lemony in flavor with sharp and spicy hops and a bit of geranium. Nice body with balancing malt sweetness. Bitter finish. JK (2479), Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA Oct 4, 2008 Bitter hop aroma. Cloudy gold color. A little sweet, but with bitterness and yeast. The yeast gives some weird aroma, but this is much more mild than I expected. Good palate. swanmann (254), Norman, Oklahoma, USA Oct 2, 2008 The bottle poured slightly hazy straw color with lasting fluffy white head. Peppery, citrusy, sweet aromas. It tastes a bit of pears, spicy, with nice mild aspirin bitterness. Very good.
