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!

22 oz bottle. Pale golden straw colour with a thick sticky white head. The nose is really lovely. Bright spicy/minty nose with a very lean, crisp crackery maltiness. Spice and light lemony/herbal straw grassiness. Fairly zesty nose. The palate is soft and creamy with a touch of light vanilla. The grassy/hay-like character is quite pronounced and it gives a beer a lovely dry finish. Delicious and quite underrated really.

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a medium sized head of foamy finely sized white colored bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a transparent typically carbonated yellow colored body and a fair lacing. The funky aroma was coriander and malt hop. The mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of malt hops fruity orange peel and coriander. A decent one that I would consider buying again.

Nice hazy orange pour. Grass and black pepper aroma. Flavor was sour dough bread, lemons and black pepper. Very easy drinking and went great with the chili.

Bottle at Yourdarklord’s tasting. Pours golden with a slight haze and white head. Lemon and pineapple estery aroma. Lighter side of medium bodied without being watery, soft to medium carbonation. Flavor is like the aroma, and not overly tart or sour. Smooth finish. One of the better New Holland beers I have tried.

12oz bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow golden with a small/medium somewhat creamy fizzy white soda head. Aroma is stinky urinal cake, sweeter, floral, herbal, chalky, loads of vanilla, wheat, yeasty, lemon, soft but sweet. Flavor follows, abrasively sweet, yeasty and hot, the alcohol is offensive, lots of yeast and super weird sweetness, the alcohol is brutal, meaty yeasty, weirdly citric. Medium bodied, a bit syrupy sweet, too sweet, somewhat corse tightly packed carbonation. Abby tripplish.. Eh... needs to dry out.

Mildly hazed yellow with an airy and bubbly head that quickly dissipates into a thin layer. Aroma of toasted grains, herbal and grassy hops, light pepper, mild honey and spicy yeast. Taste of cracked pepper, grains, spices, light fruit, mild horseblanket, grassy hops with some light sugar and corn syrup to boot. Finishes up a bit dry, a decent saison.
