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

Slightly speckled pale golden color. The nose is plastickey with some light fruit and a fairly big hoppiness. The body is quite hoppy for the style with a nice fruitiness with plastic coming through. A spritzy beginning moves into the middle with citrus and resiny wood notes. Finishes smooth with a resiny hoppiness. Not much of a saison I must say, more of a hoppy blonde or something.

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

Very lightly hazed straw body topped by large white head. Aroma is medium sweet, apple, herbal. Taste is light sweet, herbal, cereal, light grassy, finishing herbal. Light body.

Light gold body, no head. Slightly grassy aroma with a mild, malty flavor. While there was notihng really wrong with this, I just found it much too bland and uninteresting.

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.

tap at andy’s, pale golden with a creamy white head. aroma is grassy with a little citrus tone. flavor was very boring, a little bit of malts and a slightly hoppy finish. i didnt get any of the spicyness i was told to expect. i thought this was pretty boring and would never stand it up next to even hennipin or heavyweight dark.

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

12oz bottle. Poured out a nice golden color with a big lacing off white head. The nose offered floral hops, some citrus, and tineiest amount of spice, nearly nonexistent. This drinks very easy, again with floral hops leading the way, some bitterness, tiny amount of malt, and not much else. A crisp mouthfeel, and some bitter hops lingering on the palate.
