May 24, 2008 i think this is very nice--a dry and bit tart overall with a great balance among its ingredients; this reminds me of orval; i think it is more like a typical belgian ale (i.e., it is like orval) not a saison--it could use more juicy fruits and more potent herbs, but as a beer it is still great.

May 24, 2008 Hazy golden amber with nice frothy white head. Layered fruity and yeasty notes comprise the elegant and sugary/syrupy nature of the aroma. The thick bodied and dusty flavors comprise a tasty and decent offering of the style. Not bad.

May 21, 2008 Updated: Jan 6, 2009Shared with Maniac and MaltDawg. Re-tasted with barrios courtesy of sixfootsix. Pours a murky dirty gold with large white head. Nose of clove, lemon, pepper, and a sour note, and a white wine. Tastes not as *farmhouse* as i normally expect in a saison. Flavor of white grapes and other citrus. Alcohol is evident but not overpowering.

May 21, 2008 Bottled.
Pale orange colour with big creamy head. Big spicy aroma, with citric pale maltiness and good fruity esters from tropical fruits. Spices add complexity here as always with Saison, that goes well with the pale malts. It feels a bit sweeter than the average Saison, but that’s just a side note. Very good beer here.

May 20, 2008 Bottle shared by csbosox. Pours a cloudy amber with a fluffy white head that collapses to a thin cap. Belgian yeasty esters, citrus and dusty malt comprise the nose. Light to medium-bodied with soft carbonation and a lightly dry finish. Dry, citric and yeasty with a moderately spicy, peppery-dry finish. A tasty saison. Thanks for sharing this one, Chris.
