A hazy orange beer with a disappearing white head. The aroma is sweet malty. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel - rather simple and somewhat disappointing.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of Degarth. Slightly hazy golden with a white head leaving some lacework. Lightly tart, citrusy nose. Medium body with a subdued malt base and a distinct, citrusy tartness. Dry but not overly bitter finish. Classical American style Saison. 061007

(best by 11/04) Clear apple juice body topped by quickly dissipating medium white head. Aroma is medium sweet, yeasty spicy, apple, , banana, lemon. Taste medium sweet, very strong spicy (coriander, pepper), some apple, lemon. Medium body. Very drinkable for a beer of this strength.

Still and dull golden body follows a completely fading head. Herbal and candyish aroma immediately reminds of honey through its malty sweetness. Slightly grainy, it has a most direct doughy profile that comes out very bready in mouth. Not very complex taste, coriander and similar spices pretends to dry out a bit and the hops feel a bit grainy. Closing a cloying finish that is not helped at all by the main weakness which resumes to a lacking carbonation that removes the life there could have been in there. Feels fat and oily.

On tap at the 2004 Kennett Square BF. Poured a light yellow. Not very much to smell or taste as my lack of notes on this one reflects.

Lightly hazy, golden ale with a small, creamy, white head. Spicy aroma with notes of pear, coriander, banana and bubblegum. Fruity, spicy flavor as well. Baked, spiced pear and warm cinnamon-apple cobbler. Medium-bodied with medium carbonation. Short, spicy, sweet finish.

(Bottle) Pours a lightly hazy orange body with a small quickly dissipating white head. Aroma of banana, apple, caramel, and lemon. Flavor of hops, spicy yeast, and some notes of fruitiness.
