The aroma was medicinal and herbal with some apples. The taste was light apple cores with some hay. There was also an herbal and medicinal quality here. Good stuff.

Flavor has a nice little bite with the spice and hops mixture. Good balance with a bit of sweet honey from the malt.

A lot like Saison DuPont. Lingering sweetness like Brette. Not bad. CharlesDarwin (1849), Point Judith, Rhode Island, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 31, 2008 750mL Bottle. A funky cobweb and lemon flesh aroma. Waxy. Some seltzer-like mineral yeastiness. A little weird. Lightly hazed gold pour, with a really, really lacy white head. Flavor is dominated by banana, clove, and wheat oils. Very mild tasting, but well drinkable. The phenols and yeast characters run a little heavy on this and make it somewhat coarse. Very dry. Fresh tasting, with some bits of spice maybe herbal. A bitter hop gland finishes off the beer. Thanks Andy! BlackForestCO (827), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 31, 2008 Bottle shared by Crosling, thanks Nick. Poured a clear golden color with a moderate white head that receded to a layer. Aroma of yeasty funk with undertones of pear, apple, clove, and coriander. Moderately dry, spicy entry with some clove that leads into a yeasty, fruity finish with hints of pear, apricot, and apple. Crisp, light, and dry on the palate. Overall, it is solid, but I think I would prefer Red Barn over this.
