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 at brewpub. Poured cloudy golden orange in color with a small white head. Aroma of honey, saison yeast, fruity esters, sweet with some mild spices. Tastes of honey, cloves, yeast, bread, and pepper. Nice saison overall.

Had it on tap at the brewpub. Wild nose, sweet, floral, and pleasant. Pretty herbal flavor, slightly bitter, floral and yeasty. Very balanced and enjoyable. There’s the typical peppery, grassy element in there, with a touch of honey and light citrus fruits.

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. Cloudy amber with a large head that was coming out of my sampler glass. Tasted of honey, peppery spice and a little banana yeast. Dry taste. Crisp and spicy finish.

[Draft @ Capones] Poured a hazy orange amber color with a small white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of honey, earthy yeast, light citrus, and floral. Taste of toffee malts, yeast, citrus, light spices, and a semi-dry finish.
