Aug 17, 2008 This was probably the best summer ale that I have tasted. It had a nice color to it and didn’t lack on flavor like alot of them. Flying fish puts out good stuff.

Aug 14, 2008 12oz. Wow, what a disappointment from one of my favorite styles. Lightly filtered? yeah right, this is completely clear bodied and as such carries no distinctive properties of the style. Drinks more like a domestic than a saison. Good riddance.

Jul 31, 2008 Had on tap, appeared a light yellow color. While picked up very little aroma, it had a nice crisp, citrus taste that was refreshing.

Jul 30, 2008 Bottle. Dusty, dry, malty, slightly catty aroma. Minerally. Yellow-golden, clear pour with strong carbonation and a large, fizzy white rocky head. Taste is extremely dry and dusty with a bit of a crispy cracker overtone. Lots more mineral water. Light body, dry and a touch unrelenting, a really nice American take! Have to get used to its character.

Jul 14, 2008 Bottle courtesy of funknmilla. Thanks! Pours gold with a white head. Smells of dry malt, light spice, perfume, some floral hints. Tastes lightly bitter with some refreshing dry malt. Crisp finish. I was hoping for a little more body and a touch of funk, but this is very sessionable.

Jul 6, 2008 THOUGHTS: I’ve always avoided this beer, but after finding that saisons aren’t scary, I decided to try it. It had some funk, but mild enough to please the masses. At least the masses of beer lovers. Really refreshing summer beer. I didn’t really get the wheat in the aroma, but I’m just glad it didn’t have that grainy aroma of most FF beer. I think this is one of their better beers.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a clear, golden orange with a small, white head that mostly diminished and left fair lacing. The aroma was a hint a caramel malt, light citrus hops (lime), and light to moderate horse blanket yeast. The initial flavor was lightly sweet and bitter, and moderately acidic; while the finish was moderate to heavily acidic, moderately bitter, and sour with an average duration. There was a little caramel malt then some funky yeast and citrus hop with a little lemon and a little wheat. The light to medium body was dry with fizzy carbonation and a dry and moderate to heavy astringent finish.

Jun 28, 2008 Pour was golden with a little head. Nose had some corn and a bit of butter to it. Flavour had a thin hop profile but was assertive enough to make a great session beer.

Jun 23, 2008 Bottle at my wedding: Poured a golden yellow with a white head. The aroma was some hops, fruit, yeast and spice. The flavor was smooth. It tasted slightly hoppy and just enough sweetness to make this easy drinking. Overall, one of my absolute favorite summer beers, good enough for me to supply to my guests at our wedding.
