| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 31, 2008 A tad bit watery but not too bad. Nice flavor of banana clove etc. Worth a shot. CaryTheDude (1113), Longmont, Colorado, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Jul 27, 2008 Tastes kinda like a weizen, but there’s a reason this is called a Farmhouse Ale. Grassy, hay-y, maybe cow floppy flavor, but somehow it’s almost smooth. Probably wouldn’t get it again. scotch4281 (39), Hollywood, Florida, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 26, 2008 The first thing that came to my mind after taking that first swig was "bananas." I felt like I just had some bananas or banana candy. Sampled at Florida Beer Fest in St. Pete. bretupdegraff (172), Fishers, Indiana, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 19, 2008 poured a yellow/orange with a slight haze to it. Large head that stayed true to my Tulip glass. Nice spicy but fruity taste with a lot of carbonation. I have not tried the saison style before but I look forward to trying others. posikyle (165), Alabama, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 18, 2008 Not the best saison out there, but still worth a pick up. Pours slightly cloudy gold color, with a thin head. Aroma is mostly spice with some fruits, taste is typical saison, with the exception of a bit of an alcohol bite at the end. AR (423), Georgia, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 18, 2008 This is a hearty, full-bodied beer that is a good go-to beer. A spicy yeast flavor, it is not overbearing, but strong to the palate. blipp (1641), Newark, New Jersey, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 15, 2008 Bottle. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Fruity and spicy aroma, a bit of clove. Medium body. Flavor is very similar to the aroma, with banana, clove, yeast, and dough. Pretty good. jhumphries69 (722), Tyrone, Georgia, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 14, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a brilliant, deep yellow with gold highlights and a thick, though short-lived, white head that consists of very fine/small bubbles. The aroma is fruity and spicy with some perfume and grassiness, pilsner malt, and a little banana, too. The flavor is very nice and much more complex than the aroma - a rich, light malt base with touches of soft fruit, cinnamon sugar, flowers, hibiscus, cloves, and honey. At mid-palate, a soft, flowery bitterness emerges, strengthened by the flavor of ethanol. There is also a nice bit biscuity malt and spices towards the back. The finish is somewhat dry with a doughy, yeasty maltiness, ginger, spices, hints of anise, and alcohol. The mouthfeel is quite full in body and slippery, but suitably lightened by vigorous carbonation so as to feel a little lighter and more refreshing. Overall, a very tasty beer - but not quite dry enough or grassy/hoppy enough for a saison of this strength; more like tripel.
