Thanks to JCB for sharing! Hazy gold pour fluffy white head and spotty lace. Fruit and bretty aroma. Citrus & pepper up front slightly dry tart finish.

Thanks to BrianK for this bottle. Pours hazy gold with a big, whitish head. Aroma is fruit and flowers with some hops as well. Sweet floral flavor and pretty dry. Decent beer, but not my favorite style.

2008 vintage. Pours a hazy, glowing, golden-orange amber color with a foamy, snow white head of smooth, even-keeled foam. Wet, spotty lacing dots the glass randomly. Aromas are really nice, showing honey kissed fresh wheat and cereal grain malts, with traces of light candy sugar and a big helping of bready, doughy, floral yeast. Flavors are similar, again showing a yeasty, bready overtone atop the underlying honeyed grain profile, with hints of citrus blossoms and candied orange peel. The layers unfold really nicely, complimenting one another quite well. Medium-plus in body, with balanced carbonation and a smooth, easy going texture, the palate just works. Very nice, unique saison.

25.4 oz bottle. Hazy orange with spotty white lacing. Nose is dough, honey, corn tortilla and basil. Medium light with a tingle. Taste is honey, pith, tomatillo and white pepper. The spicy honey really comes through softened with a touch of bitter yeast. Delightful.

Bottle. Very drinkable. Really nice Saison. Aroma has some spices and wheaty essence with a hint of fruit. Taste is nice and spicy with a little green flavors and some lemon pepper. Very good. Sampled again. Noticed a bit of sourness. Not quite puckering but but just enough to give some flavor to the bone dry finish. Even better.

Bottle @ Post Belgian Fest killer tasting dubbed Sea O’Floydster, with a load of cool people including Cquiroga, floydster, seaoflament and many others. Pours yellowy orange. Nose is sweet and light and funky. Taste is sweet and light and damn tasty with some honey.

Bottle. Pours clear honey with a huge pillowy head. Unknown spices, grass, and hops shine. The very familiar Bullfrog yeast strain is apparent but not dominant. Wild bittering agents swirl around. Very interesting collage of flavors, very balanced when all is said and done. A great saison. Pretty similar to Saison Dupont, maybe better even. Chill the bottle considerably before drinking of it.

750 mL bottle. Pours light gold with a huge, long-lasting, lacy white head. The aroma is light, floral honey (a nice lilac tone in there) with lots of fruity notes--tangerine, apricot, peach, pear, banana, crabapple; it’s a very impressively complex and subtle nose with a bit of earthy yeast holding it together. The flavor is tangerine and banana with a floral sweetness that definitely reminds me of a wildflower honey. A robust bready, earthy yeast flavor stays throughout the mouth. There are a few subtle "wild" spicy notes--coriander, clove, white pepper, sage, etc.-- that add a very nice dimension to the beer and help dry that honey out in the finish. A very complex and refreshing saison.
