Apr 5, 2009 A very boring beer for the price, even on sale.
A peach/grape fruit aroma up front with some soft floral notes. Clear dark gold color, medium head (nothing special) that forms a thin head, no lacing.
Rain fresh, yeast, farmhouse, fairly watery that does not leave a good first impression.

Mar 25, 2009 Pours a murky grayish honey with a 3 finger (in a chalice no less) chunky peachy beige head that has excellent retention and leaves nice lacing. Aroma has a ton of grassy hop and slightly spicy yeast qualities, hints of citrus zest, grapefruit juice, sourdough bread dough, some limestone, cornfield in summer and just a hint of buttered toast. Flavor is full of citrus hop meets belgian yeast character. First up is lime, grapefruit, and orange juice sweetened with clover honey, followed by yeasty bread rolls with pepper and marmalade, some pine comes in along with lemon danish washed down with grapefruit juice and crusty bread for the finish. Palate is medium to thin with a slightly syrupy entry, strangely oily feel and dry, oily, acidic finish. I see this as a yeasty Belgian Single/bitter APA mix, it turns out quite nicely. If I could find this at $8-10/6 pack I would probably buy it all the time but at $10/750ml it will remain a pleasant oddity that I might buy from time to time. I think it would make an excellent pairing with spicy roast duck and stuffing.

Mar 24, 2009 Side by Side with the Saints Devotion thanks to Beerlando. Orangish cloudy pour with a big puffy white head. Nose is very spicy with lots of peppery yeast and some orange peel and citrus. Flavor is quite yeasty with a bit of a pepper note in the finish. Citrusy. Not amazing but a very solid saison like belgian.

Mar 22, 2009 Lignt amber straw color. Hops and malts are nicely blended in the aroma with a touch of honey. Sweet citrus flavor hits the palate with a sharp bite. Slight pepper notes, mildly acidic in the aftertaste. Could be a little more assertive and bold. Maybe a nice summer quaffer.
