(draft, Rogue Ale House, Portland) Off-white head atop a hazy amber body, Aroma is medium sweet, coriander, pepper, light orange. Taste is medium sweet, orange, coriander, pepper. Light-medium body, some stickiness. A little too sweet for the style.

Flavor is very soapy and sweet, as is the aroma, with some sugary perfume scents and some white grapes. Tastes of vanilla, fancy bathroom soap, and some bad chemical, sugary concoctions.

On tap at Brewpub. Light orange color. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is fruity, touch of must and leather, kind of sweet. A medium bodied saison. Malts are fruity and sweet, grapes, spices and a touch of funkiness. Light and refreshing. Nice balance. Crisp and clean. Somewhat sweet, but not to bad. Aftertaste is fruity and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

(Draft: Issaquah Brewhouse in Issaquah, WA) A solid saison, at least in terms of the American brewed saisons I’ve sampled, and it’s reminiscent of Pizza Port’s SPF 45. It’s spicy and sweet, yet mildly tart toward the finish, so the sweetness doesn’t become overbearing. Light-to-medium bodied, sweet and a bit sticky on the palate, but with the tartness, it’s far from being cloying. Sweet, spicy and musty nose, with a hint of coconut in the background. Hazy golden color, with a small white ring of head. Very little lacing. I still haven’t developed a true appreciation of this style, but it’s an interesting style, and this beer is decent and not harsh in any way.

This was a really nice Saison. Pours a beautiful cloudy glowing orange, with a tall white head. Lots of spice in the aroma, orange peel, slight fruit tartness smell to it. Taste was very well balanced, citrus flavors up front, followed by a nice blend of spices, finishing with a medium dry finish.
