12 oz Bottle-Pours a clear golden color w/no head. Sweet, fruity, grassy, floral aroma. Very smooth-light & carbonated but flavorful. Sweet hoppy flavor, somewhat spicey-but not peppery-more like a cinnimon & citrus flavor. Long spicy finish w/some kick to it. Refreshing & enjoyable.

Golden colored, relatively thick white head. Sweet fruity, vanilla, yeast aroma. Fairly strong. Vanilla, cream and banana flavors in the taste with a sharp alcohol note in there.

This one has a floral malty alcoholic scent with a flavor that swirls between sweetness and sournews with an almost grapefruit-like character. For a saison it doesn’t seem carbonated enough and seems a bit on the wet side. But it has an excellent spice content and I find this one a nice summertime brew. It goes down easy with a slight alcoholic tinge.

Pours a cloudy orange. Hints of citrus, sugar and spicy hops in the aroma. Some sour yeasty flavor that finishes with spicy hops bitterness and alcohol warmth.

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.

Sampled at the Pizza Port 9th Strong Ale Festival, thanks to whomever opened a bottle of this at the "ratebeer" table. Sweet banana coriander aroma and flavor, light fruity and tart. A nice departure from some of the aggresive tastes availabe at the festival. Not bad.

Wacky but incomprehensible cartoon on the label of this Clipper City Brewing product. Floral, hoppy aroma and a nice orange color. Interesting flavor that clearly has a Belgian character - flavors of raisins and melon, a little on the sweet side. Well-hopped and with a clean finish. I like the Heavy Seas brews I have tried so far.
