Commercial Description:
Lush and fruity, this "super saison" has been totally overhauled from the last two years. Previously, this beer has been lighter in color and ABV, but an increase in buckwheat honey has pushed the color into the dark amber range, providing a rich, layered complexity. The first sip leaves your mouth with a kiss of sweetness in an otherwise dry strong ale. 2006 version was Belgian Strong Ale and at 9%+ abv.

2008 version back to 7% abv, more in the traditional saison style - hazy golden in color.

Draft @ Capones: Poured a foggy orange with some nice head. The aroma was some citrus and yeast. The flavor was really smooth with hints of citrus, hops and finishing with a nice honey flavor. Overall, an excellent ’different’ beer.

Draft at Capone’s. Pours cloudy dull gold with creamy white head and great lacing. Nose is citric, pale malty, with some mild spicy, honey, and tangerine notes. Tastes on the sweet side, with pale malt, honey esters, mild spice, and mild orange marmaladey notes. Medium palate heft with decent complexity. Not nearly funky or assy enough to be considered a saison.

On tap at the brewpub. Very cold light salt nose. A bit of honey, malt and spice. Pours a hazy orange-gold, vibrant with a rim of whitish. Flavor is an interesting amalgam savory herbal flavors, fresh yeast, honey and almonds. Very bright and dry. Salty. This is nice. Quiet and reserved. A bit of alcohol brightens the backend. The flavors are nice. The beer is very quaffable. Peppery and floral. Long very faint grassy finish. Nice. Balanced, subtle.
