Nov 18, 2006 Clear bronze with ample carb and a large head that quickly dissapates. Oranges, apples, and biscuity aroma. Rough on the tongue with a long tart malt finish.

Nov 17, 2006 Bottle thanks to kenb: Pours a clear golden bronze with a thin coating of wispy white head. Aroma is very reminiscent of an authenitc German hefeweizen with lots of bready yeast, banana, and spicy clove. Body starts with a pale biscuity malty sweetness revealing some more peppery clove flavor and a touch of earthiness. Fairly true to style, drinkable and enjoyable.

Nov 15, 2006 Updated: Jan 22, 2007Nice golden color. Great beer. Good crisp refreshing taste to it. Taste never gets old and I could drink it like a soda. Had in Denver for Barry’s wedding.

Nov 14, 2006 From a 12oz Bottle. Before opening the bottle, I’m left wondering how a saison ale cannot have a layer of conditioning yeast left resting on the bottom. What is the purpose of filtering a saison ale? Still, it pours a reasonable color of transparent golden straw, topped with a well-sustaining layer of sudsy white foam. Phenolic, bandagy aromas blend with some herbal lavender petals, some sweet banana, and some astringent herbs. Medium bodied, sparkling mouthfeel with an unpleasant bit of lingering sweetness left mingling with the messy herbal tones that linger on the palate. Flavors of banana and coriander with a bit of honey and macintosh apple fruity notes. More bandagy flavors. Overall I’m finding this too sweet, unpleasantly phenolic, and the spicy herbal characters seem too confused for my tastes.

Nov 11, 2006 The highest 10 raters of this beer swing from 2.1 to 4! Wow, its the Bob Dylan of beer. Unfortunately, I am gonna have to give it a "C" - average. Tastes somewhat like a Belgium Strong Ale, its a less noxious version of Pranqster. Strong fruitiness, long lingering after-taste, flavor is just a bit much.

Nov 5, 2006 12oz bottle from kenb via trade! - thanks Ken! - Pours golden with a short white head that fades pretty quick. Aromas of some apple, bannana, yeast, and light lemon. Flavor of apple, lemon, yeast, bread, a little clove and bannana, and some honey. Palate is light and somewhat airy. Smooth and easy to drink though. Not bad..
