On draught at the brewpub in downtown Mt Horeb, Wisconsin. Pours a hazy golden blonde brew with fast dissolving white head that quickly dissipates to a fine white ring. Aroma of banana, light cloves, yeast, some golden grain malt, honey and a touch of herbs. Taste is medium bodied, some carbonation with flavors of golden grain malt, some honey, light cloves and a touch of lemon. Finish is semi-sweet at first that changes to a tart lemon and crisp aftertaste. Some multi personality character going on with this saison.

Orange pour with a small white head. Lemon zest, orange peel, and honey aroma. More lemon goodness in the flavor with a nice combination of malty sweetness and some sourness to finish it out. Tart but sweet...like sweet tarts (imagine that) Yum.

I’m pretty glad I tried this out, I almost didn’t. Pours a golden color with a small head. The aroma is just mildly funky and largely sweet with some floral notes. Flavor is really different for a Saison; there is certainly some funky tartness that pairs well alongside the citrus flavors. This has a real sweet & sour thing happening which is pretty nice and very refreshing.

G.A.B.F. 2008: (Labeled as Sassion) Hazy light golden pour. The aroma has some soft yeast notes, with apple crisp and soft citrus. Soft and fluffy on the palate. The flavor has some light sweet esters/yeasty, mildly tart lemon notes as well. Fairly clean finish with just a touch of yeast. Pretty nice.
