That was the first thing my brother said when we poured this beer. I like barnyard and all, but this was WAY too much. Good news. It tastes great, and the overwhelming barnyard goes away after a bit, and your left with a nice, American saison. jasonlends (15), Louisville, Kentucky, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Dec 28, 2007 Color is golden straw and very hazy. Head is huge, white and pillowy with great retention. Light and effervescent body. Aroma is tart fresh cut green apple. Flavor is the same. I didn’t think it very complex, but very refreshing. It screams for some granny smiths and some sharp cheddar. A very enjoyable beer. mgermani (865), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 26, 2007 Pours a cloudy yellow with tenacious lacing and a modest head. Aroma is ginger, perry, and sweet - nice! Wonderful spicing in the taste - sweet yellow pepper and ground black pepper. A sweet/bitter finish which warms nicely! Creamy body, good soft carbonation. Yum! Complex floral spicy notes make this beer a really compelling brew, and the great hop finish is a welcome end to each sip. sunevdj (1785), Copenhagen OE, Denmark

Fantastic fountain of bubbles from the bottom of the glass. Slighltly sour with some funghi. Also apples, citrus, spices and a bit of leather. Medium- to full bodied. Very high carbonation. Dry finish with funghi and coriander. Thanks to BBB63, my July Santa. Syd (903), Waconia, Minnesota, USA

The aroma is spicy, yeasty, and floral. The flavor is dry and spicy with a cleansing carbonation for the palate. Overall, glad I bought the 6. MIBRomeo (1965), Wisconsin, USA

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 16, 2007 I poured this into my new Surly glass that has curves in the glass walls up to the top so it has the same affect as the tulip, but without so much nose activity.
Pours a great white head that leaves a great lacing behind and leaves the head still sitting there. Color is gold and very clear. The smell is sour and gueuze like, slightly fruity, and light. The first thing I noticed was the high carbonation on the mouth, almost soda like. The flavor is lighter than the smell and more wheat-like at the end. The sour flavor is very subdued and nice. Very drinkable, but hard to find. This one cost me $14/six pack. chef201atc (249), Weatherford, Texas, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 15, 2007 Slightly cloudy straw colored pour, smallish white head. Just a hint of funk, some barnyard, hay, and flowers on the nose – nice! Very light and refreshing palate. Actively carbonated. Flavor is somewhat straw-like, a bit spicy, with a dry and slightly hoppy finish.
