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 a clear straw with white head. Nice buttery aroma with hints of yeast, malts, straw. Similar taste, very fresh and easy to drink. A session saison. Cheers

Bottle shared with the guys at the Inglorious Emergency Tasting. Light golden with crystal clarity and a decent white ring of head. Bready aroma, with lemon zest, and small alcohol hints that come out as a nice warming in the flavor. Sweet clean, nonfunky, saison. Good for style.

Pours a fading, white head with a pure golden body. Smells of grapefruit and funk. Flavor is dough, lemon, earthy yeast.

12oz bottle. Hazy yellow-tan color with a minimal, patchy, oily head. Sugary sweet aroma with a touch of herbs. The taste is sugary sweet malt with some tangy undertones. Slight peppery finish. A little closer to Belgian Saisons than some of the wacky-ass examples I’ve had this summer, but still lacks the subtle depth of the authentic stuff. Pretty decent beer nonetheless, with a broad spectrum of flavor.

Cloudy, fizzy light sweet ale from New Holland Brewery, this is one of the first saison ales Ive tried and, according the the classifcation from ratebeer, this is a good example of that style. Aroma is sweet and spicy and the white fizzy carbonation and golden color clears up after pouring. The initial taste is over ripe and sour..but it finished dry and smoother than it’s begining...but it’s not my cup of tea...I couldn’t drink more than one. but an interesting experinace.

Pours a cloudy golden color with a nice white head and good carbonation. The nose is nice. Wheat, light fruit and a nice hint of white pepper. Nice and earthy. Flavor is different but nice. Definite wheat and hay but a very strong taste of pepper with nice backbone of bread dough. Interesting beer.

Pours clear gold with a small amount of fizzy white head. Aroma is hayish, sweet grains, and a tad bit of flowers. Flavor is doughy with some lemony tartness and a dry bitter finish. Overall enjoyable.

12 oz. bottle from Fries Cafe in Cincinnati. Pours golden yellow with small off-white head. Aroma of wheat, mild fruit and citrus, hay, and bread. Flavors were largely the same, also with lemongrass and yeast. Medium body and carbonation and very smooth and easy to drink. Doesn’t leave much behind. Alcohol is hidden. Good warm weather beer.
