Fruity aroma, with a hint of bubblegum. Deep, orange gold color. The mouthfeel is a bit thin. Citrus and notes of something I can’t place. Its okay and a good value.

12 oz bottle: Aroma is nicely floral, yeast, nice spicey hops, fresh apples, orange, and almost a graham cracker scent to it. Appearance is a slightly cloudy orangish/golden color with a medium sized white head that diminishes into a soapy white film. Taste is nicely light fruity, yeast, orange, sugary, and a light hop bittereness on the back end. Palate has a lightly carbonated mouth feel with a lingering yeast and floral notes in the aftertaste. Overall, nice drinker. I personally really like this saison. Cheers!

12oz bottle into a pint glass. A nice little American made saison we have here... plenty of esters and pleasant spiciness.

Bottle. Great tangy sugary orange blossom nose, with sour mash and yeasty notes. Pale golden clear with light haze and small chunky particles, topped with thin white lacing head. Medium bodied with medium to light carbonation. Starts with a yeasty funky tang/sour, orange blossom, yeast and candi sugar. Very nice orange citrus zest to it that keeps it from being too cloying. Finish is fruity with yeasty character and mild hoppy finish.

Draught at Birreria Paradiso. Hazy straw colored. Aroma of freshly mown grass. Light spice toward the middle, balanced bitter finish. Nice example of the style.
