| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | 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 (5565), Montréal, Quebec, Canada
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | 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.
