Aroma of clover and banana, with some other spice as well. Appearance is golden and carbonated, with foamy carbonated head. Flavor of light cherry, banana, clover and white grape. Palate was bubbly and effervescent. A nice Saison.

Dec 31, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy golden color with a larger white head. The aroma is floral, herbal, spicy, and sweet. The flavor is floral, herbal, lemon zest, some barnyard, and slightly fruity, The problem is this is intensely sweet and I usually like sweeter beers. Is this a style that needs to be imperialized? There is too much sweetness to enjoy this beer fully.

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.
