BeerZack (116), Austin, Texas, USA May 6, 2008 Cloudy light orange color with smallish white head.
Sweet lemony and orange citrus zest, champagne-like yeastiness.
Somewhat thin and maybe too acidic. Mostly a wheaty taste with the sharp citrus acid notes, almost offensive for how light this beer is.
Drinkable, but only because its so light. By style, this is a very crappy Saison.
RSRIZZO (1027), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Oct 7, 2008 750ml bottle courtesy of Headbanger. Aroma is a bright sour scent with hints of apple. Color is a hazy orange brown with good carbonating and a thin tight white head. Taste is sour and citric. Starting with a medium body it goes down with a crisp feel. Finish comes in sour with orange and coriander flavors then a faint tartness on the end. In the after taste there is a mild sweetness. This is an amazing brew, it combines the flavors of a white with the sour feel of Flemish. Headbanger (1001), Aurora, Illinois, USA Aug 31, 2008 750 ml (8/10/08)-Pors a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma of yeast, coriander, orange, and sweetness. Taste of the same with a little more citrus than most other saisons. This medium bodied brew has a dry finish with a tweak of alcohol. A nice tasting Saison. hombrepalo (506), Chicago, Illinois, USA Aug 29, 2008 750ml bottle thanks to OldStyleCubFan for this big bottle. Poured a golden body with a good size head. Aroma is of yeast and spices. Medium bodied, creamy texture, soft carbonation and a chalky finish. Short duration, moderate sweetness and acidity, light bitterness; nice herbal hop and straw, grassy malt and yeast flavor with trace citrus notes. Overall a nice tastey Saison.
Thaichile (599), 10aFly, New Jersey, USA Aug 29, 2008 Bottle. Pours a very pale yellow with incredible head and carbonation. Nose is musty and damp. Flavor is that of funky, basement with some barnyard. Not that I mind that actually since in some red wines it is very welcomed. However, iIt is thin and slightly bitter, not a full bodied saison. The excessive carbonation became annoying. Definately not worth the $12 price, but I’m not sure at what price it would be worth it. ucusty (1213), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA Aug 26, 2008 Bottle from sams. Hazy yellow pour. Tart aroma. Sweet malts giving way to tart grassy hops.
