On tap at Capitol Hill location: Hazy bright golden with a well-lacing airy white head. Aroma of sweet biscuity Belgian malt with a touch of clove and lemon citrus. Starts with good fullness and semi-sweet wheaty pale maltiness with an authentic blend of clove and citrus spice before a drier crisp finish. A pretty good saison.

Nice Belgian Saison. A bit of bubblegum with a hint of hops in the finish. A bit stronger than a Hefeweizen, and a bit better.

Copper colour with a thin off-white head. No visible bubles/carbonation. Aroma of blueberries, yeast, coriander seed, curacao and wheat. Medium-bodied; Sweet initial flavour with coriander seed most prevalent. Aftertaste shows some sweetness, but mostly yeastie/witbier qualities. Overall, an actually good representation of the style-lacking only the complexities of a true belgie, but definately respectable from the Americans! I was really lucky to try this one! My sisters fiance provided me with a growler straight from the brewery at the Shirlington (Arlington), Virginia location from which I sampled it on 28-November-2003.

Small head, but it sticks around. Nice and bubbly. I don’t know why that struck me when I was drinking it, but it did. Nice amber color, but clear, I didn’t see any haze like other folks are writing about. Lingering aftertaste.

Very sweet with a slight spice in the nose. Cloudy reddish color. This beer has very toned down coriander flavor - the beer seemed very fruity.

Shirlington location. Slightly dark copper color, with a nice white head. The beer had a decent aroma, with a slightly fruity body. Flavor was well spiced.
