posikyle (163), Alabama, USA Jun 5, 2008 Really not that great. Pours a great gold color, with a nice thick head, but the positives stop there. This really tasted like a light beer, it’s probably the worst saison out there. Try Lost Abbey’s Red Barn instead.
ucusty (1217), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA Oct 3, 2008 Hazy light gold pour and a fluffy white head and drippy lace. Malts and yeast on the nose. Spicy flavor combined with malts and leather. Dry acidic finish Bockyhorsey (2033), Mesa, Arizona, USA Sep 7, 2008 Tap @ Papago. Spicey aroma on the nose. Gold body with white head. Flavor was a mix of sour tart and spice. Leaves the palate dry and itching for some water on a 100 plus day in the desert. SuperDave70 (831), Beautiful Sunny Mesa, Arizona, USA Aug 30, 2008 On tap at Papago, served as "Lagunitas Farmhouse Ale, Saison." I assume this to be the same thing.
Light hazy gold pour with a small creamy white head that fades away. Aroma of light fruit and malt, and just a hint of yeast and spice. Flavor is much the same, but somewhat weak and disappointing. A bit thin on the palate. Drinkable, but nothing exciting. SamGamgee (593), Santa Cruz, California, USA Aug 24, 2008 22oz bottle, 6%abv on the label. Light yellow with a small head; super clear. Light aroma with some light hop spice, yeast, pear, and peach. Light yeasty flavor, pale malt, pretty clean, some fruity pear, light tartnes in the finish. Thin body. Pretty bland, but refreshing. Nothing bad tasting in here, and has a nice dryness, but this is a weak and uninteresting saison for sure. Homer321 (80), Rockledge, Florida, USA Aug 21, 2008 pours a clear golden color. that was definitely unexpected for a saison style. mouth feel is very thin. taste lacks overall saison spiciness and funk. I had a real hard time trying to figure out why this "sasion style" was clear and bland. I would pass on this and go get a real saison.
