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

I wish this were my every day beer. A very nice wheaty beer with that great bready finish I love. Appearance and aroma were not spectacular, but this is definitely a well put-together wheat ale.

Had this on tap at GABF 2009. This is really more of an American blond ale IMO. It’s very good for that style but not so great for a saison, so I’ll rate it as a hybrid of sorts. Pours a clear golden color with a fluffy white head and decent lacing. Aroma is wheat, citrus, light spice, and grain. Flavor is wheat, pale malt, grain, citrus, and light fruits. Palate is clean and crisp with fairly light body and medium carbonation. Drinkability is high since this is so light with somewhat mild flavors. Finally, let me say it again: if you’re looking for a true-to-style saison, this is not the beer for you. If you just mowed the lawn on a 90 degree day, sure, it’ll work.

There is a distinct pine type flavor that I don’t like in a fresher batch. As the batch ages, that flavor dissipates and the beer is easier on the palate. It pours ver light golden and clear.

A very good refreshing summer ale from Flying Fish. Pours a beautiful golden color with a rich fluffy head. Hints or wheat, coriander and fruit. Very mild beer...could have had a bit heavier body, but finished crisp and smooth nonetheless. By the end of my glass the beer began to lose its "flavor" but still a great choice on a hot summer day.

12 oz bottle from Joe Canals. Poured a cloudy golden orange with a huge bright white fluffy head. Aroma of spice, pepper, corriander, wheat and citrus. Harshly carbonated and a thinner watery body made this one unpleasant, well that and the overwhelmingly lack of taste. Blah Ive had better tasting macros.
