May 31, 2007 Bottle. Very yeasty aroma is sweet and spicy with some grain. Malty with Hefeweizen notes. Cloud yellow-golden pour with a short white head. Taste is all about the spice; light fruitiness and a thick sheen of yeast, lemon and apple with faint acidity. Vague angular sourness, but it doesn’t contribute much. Fullish body with a spicy, lightly warmed aftertaste. Faint candis in the bg. Somewhat disappointing - doesn’t really work as a Saison, and as a beer in general, is somewhere along the lines of a slightly-more-flavorful (but still generic) golden ale.

May 30, 2007 Mild for a saison, sweet fruityness. Not as carbinated as i would have liked. Could have been a little more fruity.

May 29, 2007 Pours with a nice small white head. Golden colored with a fruitiness in the nose. Lacks some of the punch of the european farmhouse ales, but a nice attempt at the style. A little bit of spice in the flavor with the fruit and a very clean finish.

May 28, 2007 Clear, golden amber appearance with an average size head and very good lacing. Yeasty aroma, spicy, sweet malts, fruity. Moderately hopped taste with a lot of residual sweetness and threaded with fruity esters and spices. Smooth, medium-bodied, decently carbonated mouthfeel with a herbal finish that is a little drier than at the start.

May 26, 2007 Had it on tap at Boulevard Woodgrill in Arlington, Virginia. It was a clear, pale, golden yellow with a white head and some lacing. The aroma is banana, clove, yeast, and tropical fruit. The flavor is spicy and very fruity. The alcohol is petty well hidden in this. I really enjoyed it - great summer brew.

May 25, 2007 Updated: Jul 29, 2008Rerate; poured a gold color. Aroma was nice with some musty elements and some good banana/yeast; some sugar and fruit. I like the flavor more than most of the raters; probably due to the heavy wheat/weizen elements. Not a "true" version of the style in my opinion, but more of a hybrid. Right amount of must and spice and bitterness. Surprisingly better the second time. 3.4 to 3.6.
Bottle; poured a gold with not much white head. Aroma of banana/yeast, spice and possibly some fruit. Alot of carbonation in the mouthfeel; pretty light body. Flavor was refreshing, if not great. Flavor was slightly sweet, with some banana and spice. Flavor was a little muted. For the style, I liked it more than most.

May 24, 2007 Light, transient head. Beer was brilliantly clear with a winey/hoppy aroma. Champagne-like taste was not a big pleaser for me. Didn’t get any of the banana flavors others have noted

May 23, 2007 Pours golden with no head. The aroma is of sweet fruit. The flavor is sweet as is the finish with a touch of alcohol and spice. A pleasant beer for a hot day.
