Commercial Description:
A tribute to the highly drinkable ""every day"" beers from French-speaking Belgium. Contains Belgian two-row pale malt and 7% wheat. This beer is lightly filtered with an earthy, spicy hop character from imported Styrian Goldings hops and a beautiful rich creamy head from the wheat. Dry quenching finish achieved by use of the traditional sour mash process

OBF 2004. Yellow. Light lemon and sour soap nose. Fizzy lemon and yeast, light and stale in the finish. Tart wheat in there as well. Decent.

Slightly yeasty alcoholic aroma - a little citrus, some toasty malt. Flavor is citrus at the front of the tounge, then a dry hoppiness. Sweet finish. Meh.

08.05.04 12oz bottle. I’ve had lots of this this summer. Pours a clear golden yellow with average, fading head. Aromas are light, citrus, some spice. Palate is wet and refreshing, more spice, reminds of a wit. Finishes on a sour note, acidic, refreshing. A quaffable summer beer, but nothing amazing.

A nice light fruity beer that makes me think it’s more of a wit than a true saison. Very citrusy on the palate but suffers a little at the nose. Smooth finish leaving an almost tart after taste.

On tap at the Oregon Brewers Festival 04. Pours a light orange/golden color with a faint white head. Aroma has a floral hop smell and a bit spicy. Taste is nicely balanced, light on the hop side, citrusy with a medium bitterness at the end. This brew had a thin mouthfeel and was kinda watery.

Something went wrong somewhere. Mild farmy saison-esque smell. Sweetish malts, mild floral hops. Too peppery and spicy, not yeasty enough. This was like a pepper beer with little sweetness to redeem it. Yikes.
