Clear golden body with a thin, quickly diminishing white head. The aroma is sweet and spicy. Orange, honey, coriander, grains of paradise, light wheat and a faint hint of warming licorice. The body is light and fairly lacking in carbonation, not the most interesting body ever. The flavor, like the nose, is sweet and spicy. The sweet malt and residual sugars blend fairly well. The finish had a nice blended bitterness of high spice levels and piny hops. Not my favorite Lost Abbey offering, but not a bad beer. It is probably better suited to warmer weather.

Nov 21, 2009 pours a slightly cloudy golden with a nice white head. Aroma of bread dough and yeast, some fruit, a little spice, but not as much as some saisons. Flavor is a little soft, not bad, just not quite as spicy or peppery as many, leans more toward citrus fruit, lemon and grapefruit, a little tartness. Very enjoyable though, made even better by The Ohio State University Buckeye’s victory over that team from up north.

Nov 21, 2009 27th August 2008. Smooth, soft and silky. Lovely fruity notes and no harsh spices. Spices come through on the finish. A very deft and superior example.
