Miver (376), WillowStreet, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 18, 2008 Draft at brewpub. Poured a thick cloudy (yeasty) tan golden in color with a medium sized beige head. Aroma of yeast, citrus, and bread. Tastes is earthy with yeast, hay, mild spices, citrus, honey and bread. Just an average saison. CharlesDarwin (1376), State College, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 16, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. Very distant watery sugar nose. Bland. Pours a heavily clouded wheaty gold, with a supery lace sheen of white foam
covering the beer and the glass walls. Meaty. Alcoholic and sparse. Bitter. Spices and phenols are coarse. Thin. The
body doesn’t hold up to the coarse alcohols and yeast products. The yeast comes across as flabby and a bit old. Just
not interesting or well made. Much inferior to the Beesting. TURDFERGUSON (1115), Carrboro, North Carolina, USA Aug 5, 2008 Draft @ BCTC. Nose is bready, yeasty, citrus. Flavor is yeast, grass, a bit of honey and pepper. Nice dry finish. Tasty. egajdzis (2947), Terrapin, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 4, 2008 [BCTC 08] Poured a hazy golden color with a medium sized, white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of toasted dough, some honey, toffee, faint floral hops, some citrus fruits, and some coriander. Taste of earthy yeast, black pepper, some dough, citrus fruits, toffee malts, grass, herbs, and a dry, lightly alcoholic finish. swoopjones (1092), Buffalo, New York, USA Aug 4, 2008 sample @ BCTC2008. Defintaely more peppery than some saisons. First beer from this brewery & pretty good. Dry somewhat sweet fruity taste. Pretty good
