Sep 11, 2009 Bottle from Monument Liquor in Concord, CA. This was a great beer. Poured a hazy golden color and smelled of spices. Wonderful mouthfeel and very easy to drink. Predominately tasted of citrus and floral flavors. A real winner from Lost Abbey.

Aug 12, 2009 Bottle. Pours an attractive hazy golden orange with a quickly fading white head. The nose is pretty subtle; some clove, grass and a tinge of banana. Simple pale malt base with notes of white grapes, grass/hay, lemon/citrus, clove, banana, pear and light flowers. Earthy hop character. Ample hop bitterness but very well balanced by a little residual sweet maltyness. Medium bodied with moderate carnbonation. Solid saison.

Aug 2, 2009 Pours a pretty delicious looking dark yellow muted orange color. Definitely not like it is going to hit you with the full body and sweetness that it does. Some spice, a little sweetness, and some baked bread aromas. Citrus flavors and spice bread again. This would make a nice drink around the holidays with all the cinnamon and clove going on. There is that faint fusel alcohol going on but it is muted enough to add some complexity to the finish. A little of that stuff goes a long way.

Jul 24, 2009 Pours a beautifully brilliant golden color. Very little head retention. Carbonation is quite low as well. I am finding a slight sweetness that is uncharacteristic of a classic Saison. However, it is very balanced and fruity. I believe this comes from their house strain of yeast, I like it! This is a true pleasure to drink and the esters are truly starting to grow on me. Definitely would give this to a give a friend.

Jul 16, 2009 750ml bottle. Spicy, somewhat funky aroma, herbal woody and fruity with notes of honeyed apple, flowers and faint tartness. Lightly hazy medium golden color, head is fine and lasting. Sweet malt, fruit and spices in the flavor, more sugary malts and yeast funk, with suggestions of straw, honey, wood, earth and melon. Surprisingly thick mouthfeel, gently tart with a medium-full body. Pretty nice beer overall. Cheers to theisti for the share!
