| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 17, 2009 Pours a pale hazy yellow gold with medium white head, decent lacing. Aroma decent of hops, yeast, spices, light malt, and some herbal notes. Flavor matches well and has the right amount of tartness without dominating, making for a wonderfully refreshing brew. Another great one from JP.

The beer had an attractive appearance, the fluid was cloudy and yellow. The foam was large, white and fluffy.
Nice, slightly sour aroma. Wheat, citrus maybe even some apples?
The flavor was very fresh and refreshing. Soap, grass, spices, carbonation was lively and liquid was dry. A wonderful saison that had a nice balance between sourness and bitterness. Great! AGAquino (92), San Juan, Puerto Rico
