This hazy, light gold brew sits under a thin white head.
Typical funky Belgian aroma.
Moderate sweetness in the flavor, some spicy notes as well.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 9, 2008 750 ml. brown Belgian bottle. Corked and caged, but no freshness date seen. Poured out a hazy yellow color, with a sticky off white head. Aromas are of sour lemons, white pepper, funky yeast, typical Saison esters.
Flavors are of chalky water, strong clove spices, yeasty bread. The cloves are almost overpowering, numbing my throat. Medium mouthfeel, almost too thick for a Saison. Finished sour and dry. pepsican (885), The Student Ghetto, Iowa, USA
