750 ml bottle from PhillyBeer2112 enjoyed at my Holiday Mini Tasting. Pour is hazy gold yellow with a 1/2 inch off white head. Aroma of very full yeastiness, hay and developed earthiness. Floral, honey, and melon notes as well. Really layered and fulling engaging nose. Taste of hay, beautiful layers of earthiness and a mild sweet caramel booziness to the finish. Loved this beer, though the booziness to the finish left it a bit short of perfect. Thanks for this one Dan.

Draft at Capone’s. Poured a murky light golden orange with a spare off-white head. Aroma of grass and straw from the yeast. Taste of a bittering hop with some lemon sweet citrus and slight tart. Medium bodied. Not bad, but not worth the hype.

On draft at Capone’s. Pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma of candied malts and orange peel. Taste of sweetened candied malts and fresh yeast. Very nice, yet very expensive.

the body is unfiltered and almost burnt orange. The aroma has a little bit of orange and a lot of fresh bread. The flavor has a little bit of the citrus flavor as well with a ton of yeast. The palate has a little bit of a harsh boozy egde to it but overall very nice. 6.99 for a 750

Bottle 37,5 cl. Golden/orange, cloudy, and big white foam. It has a rich, full body. The flavor is medium sweet and has a long bitter finish.

750 ml bottle. This saison got my attention from the first sniff and kept it through the last swallow. Appealing frothy white head that sticks around. The body is cloudy dark yellow. The first impression from the aroma is smoke and funk from the yeast. That’s followed with notes of bread and grain, alcohol, caramel and lemon. The flavor is lightly sweet, moderately bitter and moderately acidic. Medium body. Smooth mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Nice warming in the finish. Very nice.

Pours light golden color with soft, bubbly white head. Yeasty aroma with ample spice- coriander, peppery notes, candied sugar, sour apple, citrus, and a bit of alcohol astringency as it warms. Some barnyard yeast reminiscent of a lambic is also present. Flavor initially carries bready and sweet malt notes, but finishes dry and spicey. Really unique balance is achieved both in the flavor and in the palate, which is at once creamy and dry.

750ml bottle: Golden yellow pour with a sticky white head. The nose is huge with lots of lemon lime, coriander, mint, earthy yeast and fresh dough. The body is velvetty and malt driven. Notes of caramel, sweet bread and straw are abound. Finishes tart and dry. Very good.
