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

Draft at Simon Pearce Restaurant, West Chester, PA...pours medium gold in color, no head (by the time I got it)...very faint aroma of earthy fruits...taste was light, crisp, quite fizzy...refreshing while extremely cold, but otherwise just OK.

Not a huge fan of the summer ales anyway, but i have had much better. Better off of the tap than bottle. Dont think i’ll ever purchase this beer again.

Clear golden-yellow body with a clean sudsy white head. Lightly aromatic nose of pear-like esters and pale doughy malt. Flavor is semi-dry with light tartness and gentle spicy bitterness. Light-bodied palate. Much too clean to be a world class saison in the modern sense, but a decent, refreshing session beer with some modestly pleasing character.

Draft. Poured a hazy, straw color, with a fairly large off-white head. Aroma of wheat, spice and yeast. flavor is primarily yeast and wheat; earthy undertones with fruit, herbs, and mild hops. Thin bodied. Refreshing, but nothing spectacular.

12 ounce bottle from Ernest
Poured in to my La Chouffe glass. Bright straw yellow with a billowing white head. Left behind a nice layer of lace. The aroma has a sort of a peachy tone, with lots of spicy hops. Sort of perfume flavor and quite bitte. Very dry. Its not really all that good of a saison, but I surely drink it in a pinch.
