| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 16, 2007 A deep golden color with a short-lived white head of fine bubbles. Very sweet malty nose , yeasty, earthy. Sweet & tangy with lots of spice. kujo9 (1078), North Ridgeville, Ohio, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jul 20, 2007 12 oz bottle from mreusch, 6/3/07: Thin off white head w/ a hazy, light amberish/orange body. Grainy malt aroma dominates and is even a bit more harsh as it warms. Wisps of fruity esters, and very little to no spicy yeast character. The flavor is also harshly grainy. There is a light yeasty flavor and very light ester profile. Mild, and I mean mild peppery yeast phenolic. Mostly harsh, grainy malt flavor. Dry finish, grainy aftertaste. Medium carbonation w/ a bit of bite. Medium body, dry m/f. Too clean for my palate for a saison. Not enough yeast character in either the phenolic/spice or esters for me, and the grainy character that dominates seems unpleasant to my palate and takes away from any other subtleties this beer might have had. Not a big fan of this one. stubby (326), Santee, California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 28, 2007 A good but not great saison. Mild esthers and some hoppiness. I like more fruitiness/spicyness in a saison. Very good, though.
