Poured a lightly hazy golden amber with a medium sized, white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of some light pils malt, toast, citrus, and some floral hops. Taste of more pils malt, toasted dough, grass, citrus fruits, pepper, and a dry finish.

Jul 8, 2008 750 ml bottle from Mass Beverages in Lawrence. This is the only bottle I brought back from KS, so I’m hoping its good. Pours a cloudy yellow with a white soapy head that laces down. After having the LA Carnevale, I can see how straightforward of a Saison this is. Sweet malts and yeast with citrus and a touch of toffee and biscuits. Spritzy and lively carbonation. Sweet pale malt flavors. Hay citrus, earthy, herbal notes. Finishes with herbal dry hops. A tasty and drinkable Saison. I could put a few of these away pretty easily.

Jul 7, 2008 750 mL bottle. What a wonderful beer this was! A bright yellow with a huge, thick head. Aromas of citrus, apple, a good bit of spice, some malt and a hint of hops. Flavor tracked the aroma, but was a fair bit milder. Very good; grab some if you’re able to.

Jul 7, 2008 750 ml bottle. It was quite the saison. I was impressed with its foamy white head atop the yellowy-brown-gold beer heavy with carbonation. Lots of lemon, wheat grass, spices, and a little apple on the nose. A great aroma. The flavor wasn’t any worse though. Similar flavors to the aroma, just right. Nothing dominated the palate, but it was very flavorful.

Jun 29, 2008 750 mL bottle, batch S8053. Pours a slightly cloudy, pale bright yellow body with generous foamy white head. Aroma of lemon, yeast, grass, wood, and floral hops. Flavor is more of the same with hints of pepper and coriander. Light bodied and zesty with no hints of wateryness.
