May 20, 2009 the aroma is a terrible funky smell. the taste is not as bad with a light flavorful taste lots of astringent in the end. the rest falls short, not quite what I am looking for.

May 20, 2009 The aroma is wild and funky and like a bathroom with sweet malt, cloves, and grassy hops. The appearance is cloudy gold with a foamy head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is average for the style. Overall this is not that good.

May 19, 2009 Sampled at Max’s American Beer Fest. Pours a transparent, straw gold with a ringing white head. Aroma of perfume, grass, sweet tarts and clove. Flavors are similar, sweet tarts, cloves dominate with some grapefruit. Very soft on the palate and slightly chalky. Nice.

May 16, 2009 Bottle… Hazy yellow ale with a small, flimsy, white head. Spicy nose provides pale grains, yellow and fuzzy fruits. Medium-bodied with middling carbonation. Well-balanced and spicy with mild, metallic bitterness and very light acidity. Lengthy, crisp, spicy, aluminum/nickel finish.

May 16, 2009 22 oz bottle. Pours a hazy yellow with a frothy white head that quickly diminishes to a thin collar.
The aroma is musty yeast and some light banana and cloves.
The flavor is musty yeast with a surprising sweet sugary fruitiness at the finish. The alcohol isn’t obvious at all. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with light carbonation and kind of watery.
Overall, not a bad summer beer, but not too interesting for a saison - a little too sweet and the sweet sugary fruits don’t jive well with the yeast funk.

May 15, 2009 I’m not a huge fan of Saisons, but this offering from Great Divide is an excellent rendition of the style. This beer pours a bright straw color with an ample white head. The head leaves a generous amount of lacing around the glass. The nose is full of fruits, yeast and earth. The flavors are fairly sweet, with notes of yeast, grapes, bread and orange. The finish is a bit sweet, as well, but with a nice malty tone. This beer is quite refreshing and a real depature from most Saisons. I really enjoyed this one!
