| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 10, 2009 Bottle from TexasJeep at the Houston sour tasting. Thanks, man! Pours a deep, thick cheddar orange with a nice white head. Aroma is bready orange biscuit. Flavor is syrupy molasses bread with a hint of sharp cheddar. Thick mouthfeel. Pretty good. tronraner (1938), Seymour, Tennessee, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 31, 2009 750 mL bottle. Pours slightly hazy golden yellow with small, dense whitish head. The aroma is light spice (coriander, pepper, mint), green apple, some sweet honey notes, a bit of citrus, and a distant cellar must. The flavor is a little stronger on the spice end. The ginger is pretty obvious, with detectable orange and pepper. A dry earthiness underlies the spices, with a sort of faint tropical fruitiness in the background. The finish is a bit dry with another gingery spice kick that lasts for quite some time into the aftertaste. Pretty good, and definitely refreshing, but in my opinion the spices are quite overdone.

Very special! vtafro (477), , New Jersey, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 28, 2009 Bottle. This beer did not live up to expectations. Was expecting a beer similar to Saison Dupont. Beer was refreshing and smooth but the flavor wasn’t up to par. Pawola22 (783), Kansas City, Missouri, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 24, 2009 On tap at the brewery in San Marcos. Pours a clear, pale golden body with a thick, dense and foamy, white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a light lacing. Aroma is thick wheat malts. Bready, earthy, and orange citrus. Smooth and soft yeast as well as a noticeable ginger. Flavor is chewy wheat malts and slightly bitter orange. Some honey and sweet fruits as well as some floral spices. Lingers with lots of sweet malts and a soft yeast spice along with some coriander and ginger. Palate is full and chewy with a slow, drying finish. Overall, a pretty solid saison. Nothing too exciting, but well put together and enjoyeable. LooseCannon (936), Norfolk, Virginia, USA

Aroma spicy, yeasty and malty. Taste yeasty, spicy and malty with bitter and dry finish. Doppelganger (1353), Dry County, Arkansas, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 18, 2009 Bottle, with Alaskanwarren. Slightly cloudy pale gold, billowy milk-white head. Cardamom, coriander, mint aroma. Chewy oaty sweetness, coriander/citrus spice, lingering resin. A bit over-spiced for my preference, but still a pleasant beer. ekstedt (2447), Göteborg, Sweden
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 14, 2009 Bottle (75 cl) from Ölbutikken. Shady golden, large rocky off-white head. Clear spicy aroma, could pick the ginger, with a yeasty and fruity malt backbone. A bit moussy mouthfeel. Fairly dry, low to moderate bitterness. Spiced beers aren’t my thing.
