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.

Aug 5, 2008 Draft @ BCTC. Nose is bready, yeasty, citrus. Flavor is yeast, grass, a bit of honey and pepper. Nice dry finish. Tasty.

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.

Aug 4, 2008 Draft @ BCTC. Pours a pulpy dark grapefruit; huge, creamy, textured off-white head with great retention and creamy lacing; gorgeous pour. Lots of toasty grains, dustiness, and peppery / grassy notes. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: grassy / herbal character upfront; white pepper, honey, and dry toasty maltiness; very dry and pepper-driven saison; just a touch too heavy overall. Lengthy finish: white pepper, honey, and some dry breadiness; nicely dry.

Jul 20, 2008 Aroma is peppery with some tropical fruit... the right nose for a saison. golden in color with a somewhat quickly dissipating head. flavor was fruity and spicy, but still not dry and malty. medium bodied. a good beer, but not a great saison.
