Commercial Description:
GOLD MEDAL WINNER* 2005 Great International Beer Festival - Fruit and spice ale category. Pronounced MUN-joy SAY-zon. This is a rare Belgian Ale made with yet another special yeast. We spice ours with sweet orange peel, bitter orange peel, and ginger. It is dark orange/Amber in color. Earthy, floral, woody, with hints of plums and sweet raisins, it is aged for a month before tapping. This brew continues to mature and mellow with age so thqat the last pint will be better than the first. Available in August and Early September.

From a growler purchased at the brewpub. Pours a hazy red orange color with a white head. Aroma is citrus and spices. Palate is bubbly on the tongue. Could use a bit more body. This brew has a mix of flavors. Orange peel, coriander, grapefruit, yeast , wood, all with a slightly sweet background. I’m not real familiar with the Saison style yet, so I’m not sure how to compare it style wise, but I thought it was tasty & really enjoyed it.

Well-spiced, delicately fruited. Lots of mingling flavors: orange, woodchips, yeast, spices. On tap at the restaurant.

Mwahahaha, David hasnt rated this! It’s about the only one he hasnt too. Sorry, just had to make a quick cheap shot there because I’m jealous of all the saisons I have missed.<br />Anyways, this one was on draught at NEBF 05 and poured a hazy peach with a fair amount of bubbles and a foamy, white head that laces well and is well-retained for a pressurized saison. Aroma is sweet and citric, but a sweeter, round citrus with a fair amount of white, sugary dough, easygoing, pleasant ginger and light coriander dryness. Actually quite good for an American saison, though I’m not sure how much of the Wallonia yeast they used. Oaky dryness is a bit too apparent and harsh, but it has a good texture, creamy sweet, with a moderately expansive nature. Mouthfeel is perhaps a little too aerated/bubbly as it warms. It’s only modestly fruity throughout, with lots of spicy/peppery dryness. Light vanilla and more oranges linger on the finish, mixed with wood and dough. Perhaps a case of trying to do too many things at once (house yeast, wallonia yeast, hungarian oak chips, orange peel, coriander, ginger). I think when it comes down to it, it’s just another American saison that dosent compete with the real thing, but this one is wearing some really authentic clothing, just not quite authentic at heart.
