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

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.

Minimal aroma, small head. Good color. Stays bitter the whole time. Overall a mild beer.

Draft. Pours gold with a thin white head. Fruity and tart aroma with lightly sour apple and earth. Medium body. Flavor has a very basic malt profile, also grass, earth, and a bit of fruity sourness. Not bad, drinkable.

12 oz bottle courtesy of Thaichile. Pour is hazed straw golden with a pretty two inch white head. Fine carbonation bubbles streaming their way to the top. Aroma of earthy herbal maltiness and some soft citrus notes. Taste is grainy earthiness, melding into a light sweetness in the middle, and a crisp citric bitterness to the dry finish. Floral notes are present. Palate feels unfiltered, drinkable and satisfying. Quite a bit of character in this one, I enjoyed it. Thanks Mark!

Draught as the "Grey Lodge 10th Anniversary Dunkel Farmhouse". Tried to get this one from the cask, but they hadn’t started pouring yet :( Light golden-amber color and a very light malty aroma. Taste was light, sweet & grainy. Not my favorite style or the best beer around, but pretty refreshing for a summer beer on an exceptionally warm day in October.

Draft. I think I get more disappointed each time I drink a flying fish beer. Nothing really noticable about this beer but the fact that it barely tasted like a saison. Fell too flat too soon.

Pale straw lored with a nose of pear. Not stellar. Slight, slight banana. Some grass. Sorta "kolsch"-ish and that is nod good for this style. Lacks any spice.

An average beer but pretty decent to enjoy the hot months of the year, some thin & bland flavors though
