Nov 10, 2007 Saisons/farmhouse ales run across such a wide spectrum of beer, that I have a hard time saying I like the style, as there are many examples I like and many I don’t. This particular sample offers a hefe-like wheat-y mouthfeel and flavor, matched with an intense amount of sourness I really enjoyed.
Appearance was a hazy straw color with towering head formation which I found extremely appealing. This fine cumulus-head stuck around for a long time, maintaining its height in the middle of my glass and it sloped downwards on the edge of the glass. Aroma was light and wheat-y, but also rather sour. Flavor was similar. Mouthfeel was pucker-y, like you’d expect a sour beer to be.
Quite nice. Definitely recommended.
I bought this bottle at Murray’s Wine & Spirits "going out of business" sale.

Nov 9, 2007 smells great at first whiff! pours a great golden cloudy orange, nice thick fluffy white head. the taste is a little off-center for me, a little sour, not bad really just not the greatest taste. overall decent - worth trying but not buying

Nov 9, 2007 Bottle; poured a yellow with a large frothy white head. Aroma of yeast, apple, must and bread. Surprised at how much I enjoyed this one. Flavors weren’t amazing, but they all came together well. Flavors of apple, yeast, banana, spice and citrus. Palate was as expected. Good for the style.

Nov 4, 2007 A very fruity, crisp ale. Spicy with citrus and oak in both the nose and palate. A good beer from a fine brewery.

Nov 2, 2007 Pours a cloudy yellow with a frothy white head. Has a authentic dusty farmhouse aroma. Taste is sour fruity, spicy and funky. Too much bubblegum for my liking. Still has enough going on (lemon zest and coriander) for me to enjoy this. Finishes dry and watery.

Nov 2, 2007 Wow, this beer surprised me. Somehow, living in michigan, I had only had a sample of this a long time ago. Glad I picked some up. This is a gateway beer into funky goodness. Just a touch. Poured a yellow/golden color with a nice white head. Diminished and then a thin layer lasted. Aroma is a little bready with a hint of sour. Taste is some grapefruit, touch of barnyard funk, bit of hops. Very rounded and nice. A joy to drink. I am not exactly sure why, but I loved this beer.

Oct 31, 2007 Single 12 oz. bottle from Broudy’s at Jacksonville Beach. Pours a murky gold color with a lot of white head that lasts. Aroma is slightly sour and a bit of yeast. Taste is tart with what seems like grapefruit and a touch of sourness. Not too bad.

Oct 28, 2007 Updated: Nov 17, 2007My palate does not agree with this brew. Dry and very sour, hazy gold. Lots of grapefruit in the palate and nose. Wish it had more hop spice, but that is just be my palate talking....
