Feel like I have been drinking a lot of saison’s and related beers lately. This one is pretty solid and has more of the citrus flavor bent. Pour is clear yellow and comes with a big foamy white head. Crisp aroma with some pilsner malt, toasted grain in there. Flavor again is bitter lemon and a grassy bitter finish. Relatively quick on the finish but a nice and refreshing drink.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 14, 2009 750 bottle. Pours clear hazy gold with a big white head, lots of lace. Aroma of spice, yeast, citrus, banana phenols. Taste is nicely bitter, with some yeast, citrus, and more spice. Mouth has plenty of carbonation, and is relatively light-bodied. Overall, a very nice saison. HonkeyBra (1361), Lemont, Illinois, USA

Aroma of yeast, spicey, citrus and a tiny bit of funk and dust. Flavor is lightly fruity and yeasty, with a citric sweetness. Slight bitterness, nice malty finish. Mouthfeel has a pleasant amount of carbonation with a nice refreshing body. Basically, this is the Saison of your dreams. arrogantb (714), Denver, Colorado, USA

Hazy, golden yellow with a fluffy head, white. Smells spicy and tastes the same. Extremely refreshing and as good if not better than Saison DuPont. If this was cheaper it would own Saison Dupont. Very nice saison and better than Red Barn, delicious and satisfying.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 9, 2009 Pours a yellowish gold with a big, thick head. Mellow, slightly spicy aroma with some light brown sugar, a bit of banana and mild hops. Gentle citrus fruits are more present in the flavor. Great balance, and great mouthfeel, but it’s simply a bit too delicate for my taste. decaturstevo (2007), decatur, Tennessee, USA
