| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 13, 2008 Faintly cloudy orange, with a nice constant carbonation. Mellow perfuey, citrusy aroma.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 14, 2008 Bottle from acknud! Thanks! Nose of cloves, nutmeg, maybe a hint of corriander, some light yeastiness, and some banana esters; lightly hazy yellow with a medium pale yellow head; flavor has spiciness, bananas, light sweetness, and a tart hint! nick76 (2694), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Aug 27, 2007 The aroma has yeast, alcohol, malt, and fruit. The appearance is golden with a small head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is smooth. Overall it’s OK but nothing special. notalush (2691), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 3, 2009 I normally shy away from Clipper City brews, but I can’t pass up a new saison, no matter who makes it - this has quite a bit of wheat malt for the style, but it’s fairly good - semi-sweet honey, tangerine, other tangy citrus character, spicy and fruity belgian yeast character - a bit of phenolic quality through the middle - sweetness makes way for potent spiciness, peppery character, a dash of hops - the finish is a bit much, making it less refreshing than a saison ought to be, but this is decent.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 8, 2007 Light banana/grapefruit, musky aroma. Bad label, good cap, orange-tinged clear gold beer with a quickly dissipating quarter-inch white head. Tart, fruity, pretty sweet, spicy, slightly salty and buttery -- wit-like at times. Turns a grassy carbonated edge going into the finish, which has some off phenolic flavors. Medium body. Slightly warming. Market Square Liquors. puzzl (2650), New York, New York, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 13, 2008 Tap at Spuyten Duyvil. Spicy hot pepper aroma though without any burn, with a bright wheaty malt coming through. Pour is clear and golden. Big peppery malts in the thin, sweet flavor, with a minor euro hop finish. Very mild, kind of scummy. Easy drinking, medium bodied. Jeppe (2638), Ølbutikken, Denmark
| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/20 | Sep 18, 2004 Thin off-white head, hazy orange body. Sweet yeasty and hayish aroma, rather harsh. Sweet and sugary flavor with lots of oranges. Cloying and syrupy. Not very good.
