Aug 24, 2006 via trade with Buck Dich - Pours a clear golden color with a good size white haed. Aroma is yeast, banana, and spice. I’m not quite sure about the flavor. Some yeasty esters. Light to medium body. I’m not sure what to think about this beer. Not bad. Thanks Jordan.

Aug 22, 2006 Light orange with white head. Notes of a spice future for my palate on the nose. Has an interesting yeast flavor with ripe citrus and bananas and maybe an apple thrown in there too.

Aug 11, 2006 Bottle: Clear gold with lots of bubbles rising to the top creating a white fizzy head. Malty aroma of rich spices and ripe bananas. The flavors are interesting - in some ways it is close to some hefe’s. I noticed flavors of cola, yeast and bananas. It is easy and smooth to drink as far as the feel, but I am not sure I want this beer to be that easy to drink.

Aug 9, 2006 Bottle pours a light slightly hazy orange bronze with a thin quick off white head. Aroma of soft spices and floral hops. Flavor was quite bland, subdued and thin. I expected a much more bold spice flavor profile. It seems to me that NB is trying top introduce a "Saison" for the masses and trying to hard not to alienate it’s regualr customers with something to wierd. Tons of the stuff showed up at the local co-op the other day so it appears to be "un"-retired. Maybe it still should be.

Jun 16, 2006 Whew...the aroma is one of the spiciest I’ve encountered: cloves, allspice, floral perfumes. There is an overlying impression of black tea, the palate is especially deceiving - hitting the back and sides of the tongue where beer doesn’t usually make itself known. Sits on the back of the throat. Something else of note, this beer doesn’t seem so have that bite associated with spice-laden beer - it’s actually very smooth finishing with an out-of-nowhere sweetness that gives me the impression of band-aid - maybe it’s the lavender. Unusual.

Apr 25, 2006 12oz. Employee Bottled thanks to Crosling. Clear golden color with a good sized white head. Floral, fruity aroma of green apples, coriander and hops. Flavor is mildly sweet and very fruity. Green apples, tropical fruits, coriander are the flavors that stand out the most with some earthy yeastiness. Very enjoyable.

Feb 5, 2006 On tap @ Falling Rock poured a clear gold with a large, lastin white head. Aromas of pineapple, yeast,light spice and a hint of mustiness. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of apples and a hint of spice with a clean, dry finish.

Jan 27, 2006 Thanks to Nick for the bottle. Pours gold with a nice size, lasting head. Smells like corn though, with just the faintest amount of earthy funk. Taste is sweet and corny but I’m not going to let this beer trick me. In fact, it reminds me of Stella Artois meets McKenzie Saison. Weird... but sort or addictive. So, I give this stuff a real mixed rating and hopefully the great folks in Ft Collins will have this stuff available all wee at GABF ’06. Cheers!
