Hazy gold, thick foamy white head. Peppery ginger nose with soft undercurrents of bready pineapple throughout. Fruity ginger and pepper tones round with a soft yeasty backbone. Medium bodied, lively carbonation, drying, lightly sweet, spiced finish. It’s not Belgian authentic, but certainly a very nice take on the style...

Dec 26, 2009 Bottle that I have cleverly avoided for quite some time, now. Pours a cloudy gold with a huge fizzy head and aromas sweet with honey, candy bits and cloves. Flavor is sharp with alcohol and sweet and spicy saison stuff. The booziness is a bit much for me, and the sticky sweetness isn’t really up my alley, either. That said, it ain’t bad...

Dec 23, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a pale golden transparent orange with a huge fluffy head... Aroma of spice, juniper, and spruce with some fruits that barely linger in the background... Flavors flavors somewhat improve with more earthy and pithy fruits. Finish has some bitterness. Carbonation fairly high. Not a big fan at all.

Dec 12, 2009 Draught at Ginger Man, NYC
Hazy blond color; creamy head. Aroma of plastic and spices, lightly soapy. Sweetish malt flavor, quite good indeed, a bit flowery and soapy. Correct bitterness. Good body strength. Pleasant.

Dec 3, 2009 Bottle ( 12oz ). Clear gold with a HUGE fizzy white head. Fairly dry, somewhat sweet fruity/yeasty aroma, moderate alcohol, but seems less than 9% ... tastes pretty much like a tripel: sweet candy malt, strong yeast, fairly strong alcohol, nicely balanced, not too sweet. Light, crisp, lively mouthfeel, quick-finishing with a slightly dry spicy linger. Damned good.

Nov 24, 2009 Bottle [12oz]. Pours a clear, bubbly gold with a large fizzy white head. Aroma is sweet and yeasty along with herbs and fruit, some alcohol, light sugary sweetness and bubblegum. Flavour of yeast, herbs, alcohol, honey, sugary sweetness again and some light bitterness. Quite carbonated. Medium bodied. It’s good but it’s too "big" for a Saison in my opinion, no need to go Imperial with that style. Interesting but ultimately not on style at all. O.K. for what it is though.

Nov 22, 2009 12oz bottle. Poured a lighter yellow color with a huge sized white head. Not a gusher, but more of a creeper that came out of the bottle. Lots of small suspended particles. Aromas of spices, dried banana chips, yeast, and ’sweaty’. Tastes of the same.
