christwagons, i will never get all these notes entered in. i’m not a 3rd of the way through the first notebook. damn you lack of internet access, damn you to hell. light orange body with a lasting lacing head. a bit funky with a manure-ish plowed earth niceness in the nose. what is wrong with someone that describes something like that and likes it? taste hits me with rye peppery wheat , fruit, sweet caramel and a great yeasty sourdough finish. a nice easy drinker i could have all day. 4 7 8 5 17

On-tap at the brewery so why the hell not? Golden color , slight spicy smell.The taste was clean with a little spiciness but very refreshing. This would be an awesome summer beer for barbecues and sitting outside. Nice stuff but that is not surprising for Green Flash. Serving type: on-tap Reviewed on: 09-30-2007 17:02:54

On tap. Straw to golden color with a slight haze (20% unfiltered). Aroma of pepper, chamomille and assorted spices. Like the aroma, the flavor was balanced with not one spice overwhelming the ale. This was a beer first with spice adding to the profile. Drinkable on a hot Southern California day with some fresh Blue Fin Poke.

Pours a hazy straw yellow. Nose is floral and spicy, lots of yeast, dried citrus peel, and pepper. Taste is nice and dry, very light sweetness in the malt base, nice carbonation, no overpowering flavors, it is not big like some Fantome saisons, but as its name states, its a san diego summer saison, nice delicate floral and citrus flavor, hints of pepper and nice yeast, nothing huge, but an extremely flavorful and drinkable saison.

On tap at the brewery. I think it is only two weeks old. Taster with a small head. Creamy microbubble head. Light yellow color. Light citrus flavor. Low hop bitterness. Like a Hefe, but with no banana (a good thing) and no cloudiness. Very, very drinkable.

Tap @ Hamilton’s. Very good ale. The saison spicing isn’t overpowering, lending more to the choice of yeast and light hopping. Very delicious. I had 4 in a row. I particularly enjoy the low alcohol content which meant I was still able to coherently eat my dinner when I got home from the pub.

sampled at the stone 11th. This was simply a nice, tasty saison, pale yellow with some spice & fruit

Tap at Barcade. Straw yellow in color with a little white head. Floral hoppy and malty aroma. Orange and grapefruit floral notes. Citrusy spicy flavor. Sweet tasting, Medium bodied. Dry finish. Very drinkable.
