| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 11, 2008 Ooh, nice! Shared by Stine to the Minnesota beer gang at Cellar’s Wine & Spirits in St Paul, pours a hazy golden straw brew with a decent white head that has some nice retention and lacing. Aroma of spiced golden malt, yeast, some barnyard funk, a touch of coriander and some thin tropical fruit. Taste is light to medium bodied, good balanced carbonation with flavors of light golden malt, yeast, coriander and a touch of lemon zest. Finish is slightly dry, a touch of yeast in the aftertaste with a light lemon and coriander flavor. MatSciGuy (640), Rosemount, Minnesota, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 10, 2008 [Bottle, thanks Stine!] Pours hazy golden with an off-white head. Aroma is very fresh and nice with a lot of yeast and a good deal of coriander and citrus as well. Taste is similar with the citrus showing through. Medium mouthfeel with a decent finish. A very solid saison that I can hopefully try again some time. Stine (1380), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 9, 2008 Updated: Apr 13, 2008Poured from a 750 ml bottle. Hazed apricot yellow body. Aroma of clove, banana, red pepper, mint zest, flowers, and lemon. Bright, sunny, funky, alive. Flavor is lightly nutty, with plenty of crisp hop bitterness of florals and pear skins; some brown spices, tarragon, and lots of bready yeasts. Palate is spritzy, pillowy, and medium in body; finishes sweetly with buttery pancake and some tartness of lemon juice. A lovely example; both delicate and generous. Thanks John!
