9/3/07: Bottle.
Bright yellow-orange body with a minimal white head. Nose of spice (lemon pepper, clove) orange zest, and yeast. Flavors of yeast, bread, allspice and wheat. Zesty, zippy wheat bite finish.

Bottle from a trade with StFun. Pours hazy dark golden color with white head. Aromas of bread dough and spices. Doughy flavor with mild spices and some fruitiness. Kind of a bland saison to me. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Thanks Josh.

A spicy, fruity saison? Not quite what the bottle led me to think, but a nice drink nonetheless. Didn’t see any yeast, but the pour was a wee bit cloudy orange. Too much carbonation up front, but then it mellowed, leaving a peppery sweetness.

Arrghhhh for my 420th rating! Argghhh... Arggh, arrghhh... Anyway, this isn’t a hemp ale, but it involved redness. Silly, not of the eyes, but in the sky! Oohhh, trippy! This beer ain’t trippy. It’s sugary, filled with a banana-like fruit, honey, and heavy with sweet things; spicy, but not sure how or exactly why it’s spiced in such a way; drinkable, prickly, and otherwise mediocre, but all in all not quaffable at all. This is a really strong brew, but I prefer their other strong brew, their IIPA.

The aroma is musty and raisiny with a slight vinegar note. Light tight carbonation makes for a soft, but slightly prickly mouthfeel from this golden yellow brew. The usual fluffy white head of a Saison is not present. Medium-light and floral this beer ends with a lingering sweetness. Its hides its ample 8% ABV very well.

Pours light orange-copper into the glass, with a decently medium head and mild lace. The nose is uniquely sweet n’ sour wheat grains and spices. The flavors are predominated by spices (sweet kitchen) and malts, with a slightly clove finish. The mouthfeel is both refreshing and syrupy, but in a "thin" way. Overall, a nicely complex brew that probably deserves a little better than its current rating (3.27).

12.14.05. 12 oz. bottle. Poured into Ommegang chalice. Nice light cloudy gold color. Sweet spice aroma. Very earthy citrus/banana/clove flavors. The Heavy Seas brews seem to be pretty good all-round.
