Jun 12, 2005 Transparent orange with a large scattering white head. Large iron aroma, bloodlike. Maybe some fruit punch in it to, lots of red fruits in the punch. Stewing grass also present. Tastes alot like chilled carbonated lemon flavored thera flu, not too sour though.

Jun 12, 2005 750 mL, snifter. Medium copper hue with a thick, frothy white head. Aroma is all over the place: fresh hay, wet grass, salt, herbs, honey, lightly spicy hops, cobwebs, dust, white grapes, lemon and a touch of vinegar-like sourness. Flavor reveals much the same characteristics. M. sweet, m. acidic, l. bitter flavor becomes a l. sweet, m. acidic, l. bitter finish. Medium body, creamy texture, lively carbonation. The bottom line is: wonderfully complex and refreshing. A very nice take on a fun style.

Jun 12, 2005 Bottle provided by BBB63. Opaque golden color with a nice white head which is long lived. Spicey aroma, bits of sour come off also. Lighter to medium bodied and well carbonated. Tart and refreshing on the palate with a solid balance of malt. Very nicely done American Saison!!

Jun 11, 2005 Bottle: Courtesy of BBB63 at Kuhnhenn’s. Sweet aroma with lots of spice (clove). Pours a cloudy orangish-yellow with a small white head. Fruity up front with a light yeastiness. Rather lemony sour finish which was suprising until on got on the site and saw the full name of the beer. Light acidity.

Jun 3, 2005 Pours a somewhat hazy golden straw with a huge head that stays. Aroma is of hay, some barnyard, pear, a mild sourness, a mild goat cheese, and some chalkiness. Flavor is of pear, a slight tartness, a slight sourness, hay, mild barnyard, and a mild cheese. What I like about this saison is the sweet, tart, and sour blend. Niether to strong and all nicely balanced with the others. Very quality saison.

May 21, 2005 Pours a cloudy golden body with a big foamy white head. Very mild aroma of yeast and leather. The initial flavor is very sour and gueze-like with a granny smith and subtle banana finish. High carbonation. Really good after letting it breathe a while.

May 21, 2005 Pours a hazy gold with a very large, fizzy white head. Aroma of some sourness and barnyard funkiness. Flavor is also sour in a gueuze sort of way, with notes of wheat, yeast, bread, and apples. Finish is dry and biting. A bit too much carbonation. Very good!

May 16, 2005 750 ml. I am so glad to see Baker taking the brewery into a new direction. This is the first in the series. Aroma is mellow earth and sweet malts. Nice and crisp I cannot wait to see what this does over time. Nice going Tom.
