Feb 20, 2007 750mL. Poured a cloudy light amber with a solid, beaten egg-like head. Very sharp organic aromas of under-ripe lemon, cedar, whipping cream. Pretty dry mouthfeel with some sour milk notes. Alcohol hits pretty quickly. This is a really good saison but pretty dry in my opinion.

Feb 20, 2007 My first Saison, so no real expectations. I was pleasantly surprised with this beer. A rich yellow with a nice head. Definitely a fruitier aroma, sweet and carbonated on first taste, almost like a subtle cider. Smooth on the way down. Had this with tapas, so it made a good palate cleanser. Agree with above rating, I could sip on this all day.

Feb 18, 2007 A nice rustic Saison that does become too sweet for me after a while. The carbonation is zippy and the yeast profile is barnyard all the way to the barn. If the beer was drier I would have enjoyed it more.

Feb 15, 2007 Bottle shared by the manager of the Mellow Mushroom with me. Pours out a yellow color with a thick white head on it. Smell is sweet and grassy, with a hint of citrus fruits in it as well. Taste is smooth and light, with a good bit of carbonation in it. Very refreshing for the style. I could probably drink this all day on a hot summer day. Not bad stuff.

Feb 9, 2007 This beer pours a light amber with a very big billowing white head. Aroma is very yeasty musty but spicy at the same time. Taste is bitter but leaves you with a bit of earthy feel. I’m really starting to enjoy the tartness of saison and this one is so far my best.

Feb 7, 2007 25.4 ounce bottle. My second saison. This is a style I definitely enjoy. The pour is cloudy, translucent, and the color of a butterscotch candy. A generous white head stays through completion and leaves behind good lacing on the sides of the glass. The taste is floral and spicy. I smell and taste cloves, caraway seed, and coriander. These emerge from a background of flowers and pear. Foret is pleasant on the palate, sweet with a light hoppiness. Light alcohol flavor keeps the finish going, although diminished, pushing the spices to the forefront as it progresses. This is a sipping beer, and one with which to enjoy the company of good friends.
This was a great pairing with the wife’s chicken piccata, served over a bed of orzo.
