Feb 5, 2009 As good as Dupont. A phenomenal example of the style. Wonderfully effervescent, nice smooth mouthfeel and an excellent hop to malt balance. Not overly spicy or sweet like some other brewers attempts at the style. Hats off to the guys at New Holland.

Sep 22, 2009 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.

Jul 14, 2008 Had this at the Lake Country Beer and Music Festival. It was paired with Widmer’s Brick cheese. That worked pretty decently. The beer pours to a hazy yellow grain body with a very creamy white head and nice lacing. The aroma is extremely fruity and has a nice grainy back. Vibrant and clean. Distinctive. The flavor is sweet and dry and fruity. Yeasty citrus with subtle spice leaves this beer pretty complex. Dry and sweet with a surprisingly full body. Thick and silky and an absolutely great saison.

Jul 15, 2009 22 oz’er. Nice pour -- bright golden orange with an initial fizz that settled. The aroma was pleasant and a bit yeasty, bright and fruity. This drinks pleasantly enough, light but flavorful, with a nice character that would go well with any fresh vegetable, egg dish, or even a light poultry dish. Excellent. (#3612, 7/15/2009)

Apr 23, 2009 $7.99/6 pack on sale. Spicy, sour aroma and taste. Hazy golden color. As true to Saison style as most American brews. Wish it were available year-around!

Mar 30, 2009 22 oz. bottle from Hiller’s market in Northville MI. Pours a a hazy straw yellow with medium fluffy head. I got this not really knowing the style. I just got it because I knew I liked New Holland stuff, and I had never seen this. Well, in true NH fashion, this stuff is great. It really reminds me of a traditional Belgian dubbel, or trippel, but more subtle. It’s slightly fruity, with a great finish. Cheers!

Mar 24, 2009 Pours a pale gold with adequate head. Aroma of lemon, fruit, and that good ole brett. Taste is very refreshing, slightly sweet, grassy, with some funky sour. Wonderful brew that I will be drinking a bit more of.

Aug 10, 2008 On tap at Brew’s Cafe, Granville, OH; I had ridden 70 tough miles of hills before entering the Granville beer mecca. I picked this one first, and it really hit the spot. Great flavor, great balance. This and the Widdershins powered me for the last 5 miles to Alexandria on the bike path.
