This beer is brewed in the Belgian Saison style (country farm house ale). A potent yet delicate ale, brewed with a unique Belgian yeast which develops a spicy, fruity flavor. Enormously complex. Available from May to around August.

On draft at Capones. Pours a clear liquid gold with an orange tint and a medium sized white head. Aroma of banana, sweet fruit and cloves. Taste of sweet fruit, bananas, cloves and pepper. Nice.

Clear gold, small white cap. Cross a belgian ale, saison, and a biere de garde and this what you’d get. Crisp and grainy with a light dose of funk. Not complex at all. Very drinkable, though. Light/medium, balanced body. A nice session brew to get your buzz on a little quicker.

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

Clear, somewhat foul looking orange appearance. A pretty blatant urinal aroma. Less obvious hints of pear skins, pineapple juice, grasses. Tastes of bananas, paper, obscure spices. Weirdly fruity with a motionless, tired attitude. Bland, wedding party cocktails made with fraternity liquors, and sauvignon blanc. Palate retains this difficult sweetness with a bite of sourness and maybe salt. Dry, gin like finish. Not disgusting, but not quite right. Thanks Steve!

Pours a nice amber color with a small white head.Aroma has some spice on the nose.This is a poor repersentation of this style.Most saisons to me ar refreshing, not this one.Flavors of wet cardboard with a sticky mouthfeel.Totally dissapointed.

Pours a shockingly clear yellowy color with very little head. This sucker looks a lot like a pale lager but fortunately smells like a saison. Some funky yeasty notes in the aroma with a bit of allspice. Flavor is surprisingly fruity, like banana fruity. Almost heffeweizen fruity with a spicy finish and a fairly smooth and unsaisony mouthfeel. I can drink stuff like this all day, even if it is mediocre.

clear medium golden, no head from my bottle. aroma is a little clove, a lot of candied sugar, spot of bubblegum. intially a little sour, some alcohol, more sugar, moderate spicing (little pepper in the finish). not that typical of a classic saison, in my opinion, e.g. pipaix, but still pretty good.

12oz bottle, Pour was amber-golden with small white head. Nose was spice, peper, and citrus. On the taste, banana comes out in the nose?, and there is very little % on this. Nice.
