| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 28, 2009 Aroma was heavy on the grain,not to say that it was a rich aroma, red fruit hints ,not much of the spicing others seem to get, taste was much the same, grainey malt, a little of a wheat tang, some red sucker sweetness, and only the remotest tinges of spice of any kind. Seemed a little to one dimensional for a saison, could see it as a late sipper cking (1041), North Canton, Ohio, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 27, 2009 An exceptional example of the Saison style by an American brewer, really good quality. Delicate aroma that has a peppery/sugary spice quality. Plenty of yeast with fruity apricot and peaches countered by fresh dough. A thin, swirling head sits atop of a cloudy golden-orange body. There are minute traces of lacing on the glass. Medium bodied with a sweet and dry feeling as well as a boozy kick. Dry, doughy malt with gritty grass and crisp wheat. Spicy flavor that also has a fresh hotness. Calm esters and a back drop of citrus and melon. I enjoyed these bottles even more than my score indicates. blipp (1714), Newark, New Jersey, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 21, 2009 Bottle. Pours an effervescent hazy light straw color with a 1-cm thick white head. Has a pleasant aroma, almost wit-like, but slightly more peppery. The taste is light and non-commital, too sweet and not even a remote sense of dryness to it.
