<P>
The body of this beer is a hazy golden/yellow and holds a bubbly, diminishing white head. The aroma is fruity and lightly funky. The carbonation is intense and tickles the nose. There is a vague suggestion of vanilla and lemongrass as well.
<P>
Biting carbonation on the first sip is followed by grain/wheat cakes, light fruit notes, muted vanilla, nilla wafer-like flavors, herbal notes and a dry almost dusty finish. Some lemongrass appears in the finish along with some floral (almost rose petal) highlights. It still amazes me that these beers are usually around 8% as they are so soft, light and refreshing.

Dec 20, 2006 Updated: Jan 19, 2007750 ml. bottle. Large frothy white head floats over a hazy gold pour leaving nice lace as it slowly settles. Spicy citrus nose with some hints of yeast and spruce. Clean mouthfeel with a medium body, smooth yet with lively carbonation. Light honey sweetness fades qucikly replaced by a pungent spicy bitterness and a light sourness combining for a pleasingly dry finish. Wonderful.

Dec 19, 2006 Nice bright white head of fine bubbles. Excellent carbonation keep a nice head on this one. Yeasty, spicy and with a big shot of lemon. Lots of bitter citrus. Color is a clean golden orange. Dry mouthfeel. Slight tartness along with plenty of spices and yeast. More lemon but not quite as prominent. Lingering lemon and slight bitterness. Warming from the alcohol.. Relatively light bodied but yet fullfilling and satisfying. An excellent saison and one that all other should be judged against.

Nov 25, 2006 Pours slightly cloudy orange/yellow with a medium white head. Light spiciness, flowers, berries/fruitiness, citrus and a hint of wood in the nose. Flavor has notes of lemon zest, light honey, oranges, pepper, flowers and herbal noble hops. Didn’t pick up any brett/barnyard character. Lightly acidic, lightly tart/sour and pleasantly sweet. Alcohol content very well-hidden. Medium bodied with a very smooth texture and effervescent, fine-beaded carbonation. Great all around.
