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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bottle from sams. Hazy yellow pour. Tart aroma. Sweet malts giving way to tart grassy hops.
