| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 20, 2008 mostly clear golden yellow color, thin creamy/foamy white head that was short even when I tried to force it. aroma is pretty clean for a saison - honey and grainy sweet malt, and weakish floral notes too. flavor has a bit more zing, some lighty spicy malt with a pinch of zestiness that comes from the sparkly carbonation. maltiness goes sweet with a bit of banana, then dry yet doughy and yeasty. finsish goes drier like citrus pith. not as wild as I like a saison, but well done nordic style, makes me want to try this at a raw bar. shp555 (1683), Atlanta, Georgia, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 11, 2008 Bottle from U.S. Liquor, Minnetonka, MN. Somewhat sour, doughy, farmhouse aroma with citrus notes. As such nails the style. Cloudy yellow with a smaller white head. Creamy smooth mouthfeel that is lightly carbonated. Tastes like it smells to a large degree. Moderately sweet but tends to the drier side. Could stand to be a little more carbonated, but just needs a little more body and doughyness. A pretty good effort overall, although at $7.99 they’re cashing in on their name and not necessarily the quality of the brew. ABUSEDGOAT (1934), California, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 2, 2008 Pours a golden hazy color with thin off-white head. Aroma is of light citrus, yeast and lightly floral. Taste mirrors the aroma with a little more citrus shining through. Light mustiness permeates this beer and brings it to the forefront of Saisons I’ve had. Pretty damn good.
