Oct 10, 2005 Fully diminishing white head covers the clear golden hue. Faint cookie malts appear surprisingly husky, fruity while the yeast dominate the flavour fight through its estery nature. A good dose of spices (vanilla, coriander, ginger) contribute a majority of the aromatic component while the palate hereby becomes more vinous, à la white wine and thus tannic, tart and citric. Poor example for a special from such a talented brewer.

Oct 9, 2005 GABF 2005: Golden hue with a fizzy lasting head and okay lace. The aroma has notes of flowery yeast esters, lavender, cardamom, and coriander. Some tart fruits (apple and grape) and sweet malt as well. The taste start twangy and earthy with a mild spice and wheat background. The feel is lively, clean, and very refreshing. Mikey likey. Is it a great Saison, no but it isn’t bad either.

Oct 4, 2005 Tap at brewery. Some banana and chamomille on the nose. Taste-sweet, mild, lotion, some plastic smoke. Not bad, but not a great example of the style.

Oct 3, 2005 After having a deluxe tour of NB was directed to a nice sandwich shop and had this on tap. Even after having so many beers this one shone through. Full bodied, fruity, estery and just plain GOOD.

Sep 16, 2005 This beer kicks ass. I do have to admit I am a big saison fan and this beer is true to style. Much better the NBB’s old saison. Golden and hazy very effervescent and yummy spice. Top Notch.

Aug 13, 2005 On tap at Horse Brass. Clear golden with a white head. Aroma is estery/fruity with banana. Flavor is light yet very flavorful; notes of light grain, white grapes, champagne, some caramel and light fruitiness. Plesantly sweet, solid hop bitterness at the end. Medium light body with lively carbonation. Nice brew.
