Jan 9, 2009 Corked bottle and served in Duvel snifter: Clean initial golden hue with a big fluffy head and outstanding rings of lacework upon the glassware. The nose is mostly classically trained, lots of yeasty and earthy driven esters. Some ginger, white pepper, wintergreen, bready malts and a hint of oak found running about. The taste is quire refreshing and a "hats off" to the classics of the olden lands. Pale malt and yeast flavors abound throughout the palate. Just a hint of orangey twang towards the finish. The mouth feel is quite lively without becoming over carbonated. Among the best of the genre brewed within the boundaries of the United States. Mikey Likey!

Jan 9, 2009 Bottle: Poured a medium yellow color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and good lacing. Aroma consists of light funky yeast with a bready malt backbone. Taste is a mix between some a lightly sweet Belgian malt backbone with some slightly funky yeast notes. Body is quite full with good carbonation and no noticeable alcohol. Good but lacking some ester and character to bring this one to the next level.

Jan 2, 2009 Bottle thanks to Ryan. Bright hazy golden pour with big pillowy white head and nice lacing. Earthy bitter grainy yeasty banana nose. Fresh hay. Bitter hops. Bit of lemon. Light palate. Super dry finish. Technically not an American saison, perhaps, but probably the best I have had that was brewed in the U.S.
