swoopjones (1179), Buffalo, New York, USA Oct 3, 2008 On tap @ Coles Buffalo NY. Scores based on that its labeled a saison otherwise it would be a kick ass wit/wheat. Pours acloudy-murky yellow. Citrusy, lemon, yeasty. Not realy finding any saison-y qualities. Very drinkable & tasty but not really a saison IMO. Rastacouere (5409), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Sep 29, 2008 Objectively speaking:
Herbal, very wheaty beer that masquerades as a saison.
I like:
Smelling rather fresh.
I dislike:
Straight white beer look. Misplaced vegetal undertones like bok choy or onions. The soft carbonation would better fit a larger ale, here it accentuates the thinness. Very green and herbal hops. Absent malt character.
Bockyhorsey (2033), Mesa, Arizona, USA Sep 28, 2008 Tap @ Papago. Sour fruity peach and spicey on the nose. Cloudy yellow body with white head. Flavor was like drinking fruit juice with some dried fruits detectable. Leaves a sticky sweetness on the palate. Decent beer. hellbilly (912), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA Sep 27, 2008 tap at papago... hazy apricot golden brown color with a small white head which leaves behind some spotty lace. fairly dry smelling... light yeast, dried grass/herbs, sweetened orange peels, lemon, mild spice and vague pine-like hops. lots of yeast present in the flavor along with orange, lemon, dust, light malty sweetness and a nice dry spicy finish which is packed with bitter, grassy, herbal hoppiness. medium to full bodied. slick if it weren’t for the prickly carbonation. there’s not a whole lot of complexity but it is very refreshing and easy... alexanderj (1346), San Diego, California, USA Sep 19, 2008 On tap at Stone; poured a golden colored. I actuall really liked the aroma; alot of bubblegum, banana, yeast and spice. Flavor had an intersting spice presence; almost a bit salty. Yeasty and dry, seemed to linger on the palate a bit. Flavor not quite as good as the aroma, but it was very easy drinking.
