Apr 19, 2007 This is quite a solid beer. It has a nice light brown color with a firm head. The mouth has a nice texture that brings a full saison style flavor. Great beer!

Jun 13, 2007 Gold color, light head and good lacing. Nose of grassy yeast and sweet malt, some bright orange citrusy coriander and hops, some caramel. The flavor is nice and crispy with hops. Plenty of pilsner malt and belgian yeast. Finishes nice and tart, well balanced saison, a bit more funk and stronger, and this would be near perfect.

Apr 11, 2008 On tap at Taco Mac. Poured clear and yellow/gold with a thin, white head (Taco Mac always pours drafts with no head and too cold...). The aroma is spicy with some banana notes - quite floral, too. The phenolics and noble hops remind me of a potpourri - almost like chamomile and lavendar... There is also a slight pepperiness in there. The flavor is nice - bready with a little residual malt sweetness, lots of fruity esters (subtle banana note), yeast (accentuates the breadiness), and delicate backup of floral/perfumy hops. The middle of the tongue picks up more esters, and the beer finishes a bit full (probably too full compared to Belgian Saisons) with a nice, balancing bitterness. The mouthfeel is crisply carbonated and medium in body. Overall, a very tasty Belgain ale - but not quite dry enough (same mistake I made the last time I tried to homebrew a Saison...)

Feb 17, 2008 1/3/08 @ the Tour @ the Brewery with Bikesandbeer, 8th Brewery of the trip, 1st of 3 of the day. out of a 22oz bottle. Pous clear yellow with a off white ring. Nose is light spicy, and sweet. Taste is sweet, and brisk, very drinkable and nice and tasty. As a Saison it might not be much but for itself its good.

Aug 10, 2008 Pours a golden champagne color, with a bit of bubbly effervescence that forms a small ring of quickly dissipating foam. Very nice nose, citrus, toasted bread crusts, honey, a light bit of persipan and even a bit of tropical flowers, almost a hibiscus floral nature, elegant and delicate. The flavor is quite nice, pie crust, honey, gentle spices and more biscuity notes. This is very pleasurable to drink. Well done!
