Nov 2, 2009 750 ml. bottle. Batch 251, 252. Pours a thick white head, with lots of lacing, over a cloudy, pale yellow (SRM 3) body.....nose is citrus, apple vinegar, Belgian barnyard funk, ginger, cedar....taste is combination of citrus, apple, tiny bit of sweet, finishing with a lingering bitterness...mouth feel is light, carbonation high. Over all this is very reminiscent of scrumpy.

Oct 24, 2009 750 mL bottle. Straw golden color with a medium white head. Aroma of barnyard, cedar and yeast. Great full bodied taste of yeast, faint but sharp hops and some faint citrus. Nice funky finish.

Oct 17, 2009 On Tap at Jolly Pumpkin, Ann Arbor. The beer appeared flat, with no head. It was a maize yellow golden color, and a strong yeast aroma. The taste was nice, complex, and fruit peels. It was a great tasting beer, tart, and biting, but complex and changing throughout

Oct 9, 2009 I poured this one into my snifter and the head was amazing. It was probably three inches high and fluffy white. The beer itself was a bright golden yellow and cloudy. The smell reminded me of ketchup but in a good way. The taste was tomatoes! The flavor was really complex.
update 08/28/09 12oz bottle which must be a couple years old. Smells like a fantastic wild ale, subdued barnyard and lemon, excellent. The score remains the same however because this is awesome.

Oct 9, 2009 Bomber from redlight redlight. Very good saison. Pours a cloudy pale yellow/orange. The nose is full of wild yeast and the tart aromas of unripe berries. Earthy but floral. The flavor is mild and crisp, slightly tart, just a tad sweet, a delightful, classic saison.

Oct 6, 2009 Updated: Oct 18, 2009Pour from the 22oz. bottle: Smells a little funky, maybe like a heffe. I think JP hit the nail on the head with what a Saison should taste like, I’m just not a fan of the style. Lemon characteristics, a little peel, cloves, grapefruit, spicy, carbonated, light. Drinkability: A little too tarty for the party. Rebuy: Undecided. #131 on 06102009, DG.

Sep 30, 2009 22 oz. bottle shared by shawnm213- thanks, Shawn! Pours a hazy orange-gold with a large rocky white head. Aroma of bread, straw, grass, farmhouse funk, malt, spices, light citrus. Flavor follows suit, and is sweet, spicy, and slightly tart. Crisp and refreshing, with a dry finish. Really interesting saison.
