Commercial Description:
As the story goes, the charm of the Cap hails an otherwise mischievous band of winged-monkeys to carry out any three commands its owner wishes, such as carrying you from vast scarlet poppy fields to Emerald City, or even to the comfort of a country farmhouse. Golden Cap Saison however, brings the comfort to you with its modern interpretation of a traditional farmhouse ale. A soft, pale beer, Golden Cap accentuates the flavors and aromas of summer fields. Brewed with an ancestor to wheat called spelt, and bottle-conditioned; it's straw-colored body accentuated with lively carbonation and unique fermentation profile evoke fresh cut hay and cracked peppercorns. Ep-pe, pep-pe, kak-ke! Hil-lo, hol-lo, hel-lo! Ziz-zy, zuz-zy, zik!

Pours clear gold with a bubbly white head. Aroma is lemon, vinegar, and funky yeast. Taste is also acidic with grassy notes. Thin body with a lemony sour finish.

Courtesy of jcwattsrugger. Pours deep gold with a touch of haze and thin white head. The aroma is spices, wheat, a bit of bubble gum, grains and a thin layer of lemon. The taste has lots going on from lemon like acidity to sweet honey to spices and wheat and then followed up by grains and a sprinkling of yum. I really like this.

Good, but a little too weak. Can’t believe this is 7%. Very light flavor all around, but mild cloves, lemons, and some bananas present similar to a weak witbier. The backbone of the beer is its wheat and yeast flavors. Slightly dry, pepper aftertaste. Very drinkable.

On tap in a tulip, really nice-looking beer with a thick creamy white head and lovely hazy straw color. Terrifically drinkable, slightly sweet and spicy. I agree with other reviews that mention this is quite wit-like and very refreshing.

smells a bit clovey tastes of pepper, slight banana, slight sour. nice feel (a little creamy at the end, refreshing, but suprisingly full flavored for such a light beer. Pretty dry when cold, but more sweet as it warms up. good. aftertaste is musty. Could drink a few of these

Hazy yellow color with a thin, fizzy white head. The nose reminded me a of wet wheat, lemon grass and a hint of urine. Tangy tangerine and bitter orange peel flavors with some spicey pepper tones. Dry, with a long mouth tingling finish. Refreshing, especially for the claimed ABV. Not really a Saison to me.

Not readily identifiable as a saison to me. lots of coriander and wheat aromas. Slightly peppery on the nose and palate. Still, full and spicy, with a long spice finish and some good caramel malts. Slightly thin palate and more alcohol than usual from the style, another atypical aspect to a beer that works better as a wit.

Sweet up front followed by a soft medium body. Slight tartness carrying a citrusy fruit flavor as things continue, ending with a light yet sharp hop zing that finishes mostly dry but a little creamy.
