Pours cloudy yellow with chunkies dispersed throughout. Head is white and fades fast. Aroma is standard for saison: spice, hops, and the barnyard funk. Not as highly carbonated as I thought it would be, but still is lively on the palate. Flavor is spice, yeast, hops. I was hoping for a drier and hoppier finish. This is good but I think I like the Vieille Provision better. It seems a bit strong for a Saison and seems to be better fit for the holidays and not a refreshing summer saison. All that said I still like this brew and would put it a close second behind the Vieille Provision.

Clear yellow golden color with a white head that has good retention and lacing. Smells of bubblegum, chamomille, flowers, and hints of pepper and ginger. Light spice, chamomille, clove, and bubblegum in the taste. Medium bodied with high carbonation. Good stuff.

Bottle. I’ve had this one many times as its sure to show up at tastings and probably one of my fist if not my first saison. {ours a cloudy orange with foamy white head. Loads of spices funk and hops seep out of this pour swirling around your mouth and leaving the etoh out of the picture. Great way to introduce yourself to the style.

Bouteille 750ml. De couleur dorée-orange et voilée. Nez de levures fruitées (agrumes, léger d’ananas, notes de poires et de mangues), malté de pain avec des notes de sucre bonbon, moyen de houblon floral et herbeux (herbes fraîches et notes de foin) et léger d’épices (poivre très doux, traces de coriandre). Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement plutôt élevé et une texture légèrement crémeuse. Goût prononcé de levures fruitées aux petites notes terreuses (agrumes et zest asséchant, surtout citron, notes de poires et de pêches, traces de mangues, de bananes et de pommes) accompagné de notes épicées (coriandre) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté de pain avec des notes de sucre bonbon et de miel. Parallèlement l’on retrouve une moyenne amertume assez asséchante de houblon herbeux (herbes fraîches, notes de foin et traces de thé) aux notes florales ainsi qu’un moyen goût de levures épicées (poivre doux) jusqu’en finale, où l’on note également la présence d’un léger goût d’alcool aux notes réchauffantes. Post-goût moyen-long et assez sec, moyennement amer de houblon herbeux aux notes florales, légèrement aigre de levures fruitées (zest d’agrumes, notes de pelures de pêche et de pommes) et avec des notes d’alcool et d’épices (poivre doux).

Refreshing scents of freshly cut spring grasses, complex yeasts and citron bids the imbiber a heartfelt welcome. A dense, lasting creamy head that refuses to go away only accentuates the notion that this is a saison to be reckoned with. The balanced golden sheen, the profound hoppy profile and a hearty 9,5% ABV delivers an artistic punch that lingers on long after the final zesty drop has been savored. A classic.

Pour was orange straw with nice head and lacing. The aroma was weak funk. Man, this is one rich and creamy beer…excellent mouthfeel. The flavor was tart fruit, a very mild level of spice and a mild barnyard funk. This is a different kind of saison, but I really enjoyed it!

Pours hazy straw color with big white head. Nice sweet bready aroma. Earthy, musty flavor that is slightly sour. Medium body with average carbonation and a smooth, velvety mouthfeel that finishes dry. Excellent saison.

Nice orange golden colour with a perfect white foamy head. Funky, yeasty, fruity (tropical & citrusy), a bit ethilic, peppery & spicy. Some cellar notes. A bit harsh MF, alcoholic but developing in a strong saison character.
