| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 12, 2009 FoBAB. Cloudy golden color with small white head. Aroma is spicey, peppery and yeasty, dry. Flavor is much the same but is at the same time off-putting with a sweeter fruity flavor and some hop background. Medium to light body with a nice fizzy carbonation. This is nice but at the same time I don’t know what to think about it. cbkschubert (2017), Cochise Co., Arizona, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 27, 2008 On tap @ the Liars’ Club - Pours a hazy golden color with a small white head. Light lacing. Aroma is light esters and spice. Flavor is more of the same. This beer really comes around as it warms up. Quite spicey (cloves and pepper). Light to medium body. Pretty smooth. A pretty good beer.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 21, 2008 Tap at the Toronado SF. Not a bad little beer. Bartender was right, this is a saison. Very good little session beer, could drink this all day. Not bad. SamGamgee (1466), Santa Cruz (La Selva), California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 21, 2008 Updated: Jun 10, 2009Draught at the brewery tasting room. Hazy gold with a creamy white head. Wheat malt and herbal spice aroma. Duusty, doughy yeast, wheat tanginess. Pretty dry and refreshing, a bit fruity with lightly biter herbal hops in the finish. Light bodied, but still plenty of body considering the abv. Snappy carbonation. The wheat character is hight, with just a bit of farmhouse yeast influence, but overall a good summer quaffer. I could definitely session this one. (3.4)
rerate: At the brewery again. This year it seems to be smoother and fruitier with more spice as well. A very nice, very drinkable saison. ratman197 (3256), Arvada, Colorado, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 8, 2008 Sample at PP Carlsbad; color was a clear, toasted yewllow; compact white head. Aroma was of musty wheat and earth, with some fruit notes. Very soft on the palate. Flavor of spicy wheat and bread, with some spice/herbal, almost lavender like. It was a bit too straightforward and not great tasting for me.
