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.

Bottle. Pale yellow with a nice white head. Little bit fruity in the aroma and flavour, some pleasant hoppiness and bitterness throughout but overall a bit bland and light. Nice refreshing beer for the summer but unexciting otherwise. Where is the spice? Mondial 4T (Capflu).

Poured a light yellow with a small white head. Light grassy and citrus aromas and tastes. Thinner body. Light refreshing beer. Not really my favorite style (light on the aroma and tastes).

Again, not a particularly beer from Cherry Hill, New Jersey’s Flying Fish Brewery. Whaddaya expect from the city that gave us the 80s one-hit wonder, The Hooters. Anyway, this ’saison’ is generally milder and more watery than I had hoped, though it’d be nice on a hot day when you’re either playing tennis or waxing the car. Slight bitterness in the finish.

I actually thought this beer had too much going on for it to be an enjoyable summer beer. Had it down on the boardwalk, and kinda wished I had ordered something else. This is probably very good with food, but as a summer beer, this is not my cup of tea (or pint of beer).
