| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 27, 2006 Bottle. Pours golden with a thin white head. Aroma of banana, spices(cloves), yeast. Taste is slightly sweet honey and lemon and more yeast and banana. Light body and mild carbonation. This is very easy to drink, would be a good summer brew. Kind of has some hefe qualities to it. rybowen (105), Los Angeles 90039, California, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Oct 27, 2006 Golden color, pours with good carbonation though not like some Saisons. Actually sweeter, less character than expected. Honey and malt flavors; almost lagerlike which is weird. Medium body. Good, but not worth the $10.99 I paid for the sixer.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 27, 2006 i have never had a bad new belgium brew...and this isn’t even near a bad beer...an american version of a saison?..yes it is..but is it a bad representation..no not really!..it is mildly hopped...some honey tones in smell and taste...a new belgium like aroma for sure!...no fkin head at though!..a saison needs head..but i’ve never given a damn about that aspect...is a very fine brew..maybe needs a bit more funk but seeing as this is a nationally american brand, this saison is good, 3 of my friends loved it! ...so good for you NB, u really do seem to know what the heck u are doin...people friendly oh ya! oh boogie!...is quite delicous! tomciccateri (514), Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 25, 2006 12-ounce brown bottle poured a clear dark gold color with a thin but lasting white head. Fine bubbles pushed a complex/fruity aroma. Medium-bodied and displaying spicy, apricot flavors. A bit heavier mouthfeel than other Saisons, probably more intense malt presence as well. Still, very drinkable. Late alcohol character noticable. harrisoni (6802), Ashford, Kent, England
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 23, 2006 On tap at Hop Vine Pub, Seattle. Copper colour with thin beige head. Belgian yeast aroma. Nutty. In fact it’s really nutty. Peanut. I mean it’s peanut. Not unpleasant but doesn’t go anywhere, bit over carbonated. bitter (1137), Henderson, Nevada, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 7/20 | Oct 19, 2006 had this on draft the other day of all places a country club. poured orange brown with barely any head. sweet nose of apricots and wetness. flavors are abundantly puckery sweet raisins and astringents. extracty feel with an off character. by the end it was almost alcohol sweet and made me not want another.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 15, 2006 bottle-Pours light yellow with a fizzy white head. Why is this thing filtered? that is blasphemy! Other than the lack of apperance, this is a tasty session saison. nose is nice with lemon, light funk, estery, floral notes. flavors are grassy, lightly funky, with lots of lemon and sourness. body is somewhat lacking due to the filtered state of this beer. again, a decent session beer, but definately not the saison i was hoping from this company. paulmetzger (152), Pocatello, Idaho, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Oct 12, 2006 Straw golden with ample carbonation. . Band-aid aroma. Yeah, I know it’s supposed to be like that, but... Sweet and sour. bits of licorice, cherry, banana. Time and again I try beers like this, and every time I learn that yeast is not my favorite flavor in beer.
