Commercial Description:
Our homage to the beers that have quenched the thirst of Belgian farm workers for centuries. Brewed with barley, wheat and rice and fermented at high temperatures with a special blend of four different yeast strains, Saison is fruity and slightly tart, with a dry finish that makes it that rarest of treats–a beer as refreshing as it is complex. 7.3% ABV.

Pours a hazy pale yellow. Nose is bright lemon and earthy yeast. Taste is watery, the yeast lacks any personality that i’d want from a saison, thin, citrusy, overly citric, a tad bland.

Straw yellow with a modest white head. Tart, citrus aroma with a touch of rice. Crisp, refreshing taste. Some tartness without being over bearing. Slightly fizzy. Clean finish. Very drinkable and enjoyable.

From the Ft. Wayne tasting. Hazy yellow color with a white, fizzy head. Light, spicey nose. Very spicey flavor, with clove, tangerine and oragne rind, some soap and banana. Dry finish. Easy to drink saison.

bottle at Ft Wayne tasting - Pours hazy yellow and smells of malt, fruit, yeast, and a touch of the barnyard. The taste is sweet, tart, and slightly funky. It has a medium body and a dry, somewhat hoppy finish. Good brew.

Draft: Poured a yellow color with a white head. The aroma was citrus, yeast, banana, and grass. The flavor was earthy, grassy, lemons, malts and spice. Overall, a tasty saison.

22oz bottle from Liquid Solutions. Pours a glowing pale yellow with a bright white head. Like funk on the nose as well as some citrus peel and banana, maybe a bit of baking spice in there as well. Faint spice in the flavor with some bright lemony characteristics, some corn on the back end. This brew definitely grew on me as it warmed.

bomber - pale, straw gold with fluffy white head fading quickly; pilsner malt, mild yeast and lemons; stale, grainy, lemons with very minor spice or yeast flavors; incredibly basic and uninteresting; IMO GD has been pumping out way too many new styles lately

This bottled brew from a rating party poured a medium sized head of foamy finely sized white colored bubbles that were long lasting and left behind a hazy typically carbonated yellow-white colored body. The complex aroma was floral malty and farmhouse. The semi-thick mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of a malt backing and soft floral hops. Delicious and one I would certainly like to have again. very nicely done!
