| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 29, 2008 On Tap.
Pours a murky golden/yellow colour with a good size head and very nice carbonation.
Smell is very fruity and clear, well balanced and pleasant smell of sour fruits and sweet fruits.
Taste is rather bitter and sour, but also fruity and well mixed in. There are lemons there mixed with sweet fruits such as oranges, which ofcourse can also be sour, giving it a great light bitter flavour. illkarate (89), Bloomington, Indiana, USA

Really complex, hints of dandelion, pepper, cantelope (maybe other sweet melons), and bark. Really well balanced - finishes with a slightly astringent alcohol bite. Excellent beer for Thanksgiving. Well done. BMan1113VR (2813), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA

Aroma is funky with some misc. spices, peppery and light fruit. Taste is nice and dry, fruity with a touch of clove, honey and funk. A classic saison squared! Very lively bubbles and dry mouthfeel. Very drinkable and the alcohol is well concealed. m4rest88 (216), Beverly Hills, California, USA
