| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 3, 2008 Bottle (750ml) shared at ’Biegaman’s Second Annual Saison Tasting’ -- courtesy of biegaman. Pours a clear gold with an average size semi-lasting foamy white head. Aroma of grain and fruit, a bit grassy and with a hint of sourness -- just O.K., I’m not crazy about it. Slightly boozy flavour with grain, a bit of sweet fruit, light grassy hops and an average bitter finish. Medium bodied. Decent but not really to my liking. Rciesla (3723), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 2, 2008 Bottle. Pours a golden body with a fluffy white head. Aroma is spicy yeast, farmhouse saison funk. Flavor starts with a strong malt backbone then gives way to the subtlies of the yeast and spiciness. A score for something so readily available.

Authentic Belgian smells, with some light fruits, yeast, farmhouse. Flavor has nice balance, with a delicate sweetness and finish. An ale of high quality. garthicus (1307), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 22, 2008 750ml. I had no idea this was supposed to be somewhat of a Belgian...I mainly tasted a lot of overpowering sweet malts, blending with somewhat of a bananay yeast, with a very mild hop note in the middle. Alcohol is hidden well. Not very carbonated, this one goes down waaaay smooth. Not my favorite. hopdog (5606), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA

Aromas of yeast, banana fruitiness, and spices. Tastes of bananas, spices, and some citrus. Body on the carbonated side. MaltDawg (778), Richmond, Virginia, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | May 16, 2008 Refermented in bottle. Capital Ale House pairing with Garrett Oliver 05/15/08.
Light straw, cloudy with huge rocky persistent head. Sweet malt background with some spicey phenolics of clove and pepper. Medium fizzy mouthfeel with some hop bitterness and alchohol warming in the finish.
