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.

Dec 12, 2009 Clear golden in colour with a thin white head, light lacing.
Aroma is of light spices, yeast, some alcohol and lemon citrus.
Flavour is spicy, herbal, peppery, some citrus and bananas, light alcohol.
Warming mouthfeel, medium body, moderate carbonation.
Finishes warm and spicy.
Seems a bit harsh to me and not nearly as drinkable as other saisons.
Bottle at Mondial 2009 in Montreal, Quebec.
Sampled on June 5, 2009.

Dec 5, 2009 Cloudy golden body with a thin white head. Fruity, sweet aroma. Like a can of fruit cocktail with a touch of spice. I would say that a decent peach aroma stands out. Full, slick mouthfeel with some good carbonation. Starts fruity and sweet and finishes with a nice punch of peppery spice. This is a pretty good beer that surprised me.

Dec 4, 2009 Hazy gold, small and quickly settling white head, little lace. Light fruit -apricot and peach, apice. Light to medium body, tingly, palate cleansing effervescence. Lots of honey sweetness on the front end, a big kick of peppery spice enters quickly, soft bitterness that yields to a lingering stickiness. Interesting, lots of character, a little sweet for my tastes, but refreshing nonetheless.

Nov 25, 2009 12 oz bottle pours a hazy honey color with a thick white head. Aroma of banana, clove, honey and wheat. Taste is a fruity banana with spice and a grassy/wheaty finish. Nice drinking beer that I would visit again. Solid offering by New Holland.

Nov 7, 2009 Bottle - Huge white head. Spicy aroma. Good lacing. Pours a dark cloudy honey color. Very much like a wheat beer. Slight taste of bananas. Very drinkable. Maybe the best I’ve tasted from this brewery. Definitely will try again.

Nov 6, 2009 Bottle. Grainy wit yeast in the nose with a hint of lemon spritz. Light-colored, pale golden body with a sudsy beige head. Darkly grainy taste, overdriven wheat resolving to a bone-dry crackery finish and mildly metallic aftertaste. Sharp with a light tang, medium-fullish body, well-hidden alcohol with light and lasting bitterness. Pleasantly effervescent, with breezy, mild pepper and spice, lemony hops, and fresh hay that hangs in the still air.
