Jan 29, 2006 Bottle: Foggy, burnt caramel color with a fluffy, off-white head. I definitely smell the lemon verbena and something else like curdling milk as well as other herbs. The taste isn’t as good as I was hoping for -- aftertaste is kind of like I imagine my little boy’s urine-logged diaper would taste like. I imagine there are other redeeming qualities, pehaps I drank it too cold.

Mar 15, 2009 Tap at Pap. Refreshing texture and flavor - subtle hops, grass, lemon, sugar. Reminded me of when they had Devotion on tap: a US version of a Belgian that turns out quite refreshing.

Feb 8, 2003 Pours a cloudy deep amber orange color with a small creamy lasting head, light citrus flowery aroma. Wheat flavors kind of reminds me of lemon cough drops. Medium body with a dry finish, not bad very interesting I have not tasted anything quite like it.

Jul 19, 2009 650 ml bottle from Freddy. This is a lips of faith bottling. Pours a translucent copper color with a medium white head that soon recedes to a 1/8 inch and holds. The aroma is very saison-like with musty fruits, spices and Belgian yeasts. The flavor is complex with funky yeast, cinnamon, clove, hay and mixed fruits. The mouthfeel is full and malty smooth with a bit of an acidic quality. The finish is long and dry with lingering cinnamon spice. Overall: Very nice but not great, to acidic for me..

Feb 24, 2002 This is good. I love the appearance, burnt orange in color, nice head and lace, good carbonation and cloudiness. It tastes and feels like a French biere de garde, a style that I really like (Saison is the Belgian equivalent of biere de garde). It has that nice malty, yeasty taste. I didn’t notice much of the lemon, which is good in my book. The lemon initally made me apprehensive about trying this, because I don’t like any fruit in my beer, but don’t let it scare you.

Sep 26, 2009 Sampled at ABR 2009. This is kind of like a muted saison. I’m not an expert on the Biere de Garde style, but I enjoyed this quite a bit. Dry flowers, brett, lemon, and some underlying banana/clove make this an enjoyable New Belgium brew. Pretty decent beer here.

May 17, 2004 Very light aroma. All I could detect was peach, no hops or malt. Pours a cloudy orange, sparse head. Medium body and flat. Acids are present and moderate bitter finish. Quite dry. Maybe I’m missing the point, but I found this boring and dull.
