Clean tasting ale with a creamy frothy head. Wheat beer style fruitiness but slightly marmaladey. Semi bitter finish that is dry. Coriander tones throughout. Refreshing.

Oct 10, 2009 Bottle (don’t recall for sure where I got it, but likely via HogTownHarry). Doing an inventory of my stash today, I discovered this was missing, and then recalled that I brought it to dinner at a friend’s place a couple of months ago and didn’t take tasting notes. D’oh! I remember it pretty well, though, as we all really enjoyed it. Had a rich golden colour with a moderate haze, and a luscious aroma of tropical fruit, spice and yeast. I remember pineapple especially, and a bit of funk as well. Flavour was equally enjoyable, with similar notes to the aroma, and a solidly hopped finish. A slightly unorthodox Saison, but still a very good one.

Sep 19, 2009 Bottle. Moderate malt aroma of grain, perfume and lemon/lime for the hops, light soap and musty for the yeast, with background notes of apple, wine, cedar and allspice. Head is small, frothy/fizzy, white with fair lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is hazy amber/orange. Flavor starts lightly to moderately sweet and acidic, then finishes lightly acidic and slightly bitter. Palate is medium, oily with a lively cabonation. Spicy and fruity, this is one nice Saison.

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.
