A hazy straw colored pour with a two finger white head that quickly disappears.Aroma of belgian yeast funk,spicy and fruity,some very nice clove scent some peppercorn,citrus zest A slight fruitiness,with some hints at banana. The flavor is close to the aroma,yeasty funk all the way,earthy,slight fruit and pepper notes,lemon zest and a touch of grass,some nice light pale malt flavor with just a dash of alcohol. Medium body with lively carbonation,nice dry/lasting finish with a lingering spice aftertaste. A very nice brew,I would buy this often if I could get it locally.

(12 oz btl) Frothy white head fully diminishes w/ no lacing; cloudy straw color. Strong clove and citrus peel in nose w/ little to no malt. Lively carbonation adds to sharp tang of clove w/ little other noticeable character - slightly astringent. Aftertaste is almost entirely clove; yeast is barely detectable.

~Pours a cloudy light golden color with big fluffy white head. (In tulip glass) ~Spicy clove scent with some coriander and apple. ~Spicy fruity flavor, just like an Abbey ale, but with more wheat. ~A light crisp feel finished with a sharp dry spicy finish. ~ I thought this was a really good brew. Not sure why all the bad ratings. I think I may have gotten a fresh batch since it was bought from the brewery. Very nice.

From a 12 oz bottle this poured gp;d with a very light haze, small white head, and a small amount of lacing. Nose of caramel malts and fruit. Medium mouthfeel. Flavor is citrus and light malts. Not much finish. Really easy to drink however.

WOW!! Calling this a saison is REALLY stretching the definition. Aroma was a bit weak. LIght fruit and a hint of light malt. Pour was ugly. Looked like toilet water that has been clogged for a day. Taste was dreadful and near drainpour. Extremely sweet and sugary with a iced tea aftertaste. The only thing that comes to mind is this beer is a clown. It’s laughable and mocks real saison.

Bottle: Misty gold color, light head and lacing. The nose is a bit malty with some pale and pilsner malts, spicy yeast esters, tons of coriander and clove with a bright orange note. A full sweet pale malt flavor that’s nearly cloying when it pairs with the spice and yeast zest. The finish is grassy and sweet; very spicy. Needs more carbonation, a bit more funk and a bit less sweetness.

Poured a lightly hazed gold with a thin white head. Light leather and spice over malt make up the aroma. The flavor was malty with a yeasty spice finish. Medium body and light dull carbonation.

Bottle... Poured a cloudy gold with no head. Fruit Juice aroma. Very tart and sweet, clove and ester with some orange peel and other fruit notes. Sharp finish.
