Apr 6, 2008 Pours with a large, creamy, off-white heead covering a cloudy orange-gold body. Great lacing, and good retention. Aroma has wood, lemon, and some funky yeast. Taste is sweet and yeasty. Some yeast as well. I can’t find anything wrong with it, but it is kind of boring. Dry, fizzy mouthfeel and a bit acidic in the finish.

Apr 6, 2008 Pours a hazy color with white foamy head. Aroma is light spice, apple, citrus and yeast esters. Taste is fruity and satisfying but I’m miss a certain yeast quality you find in a really good saison. Still, it’s good and very drinkable.

Apr 6, 2008 Body is glowing gold, lots of pretty rising carbonation. Big puffy white head with nice lacing. Nose is yeasty lemon & clay, some pepperiness, a bit of apple skin, some warmer fruits too - peach, apricot. Flavor is alot of yeasty fruit, nice dryness resulting from the pepperiness. Unrefined fruit zest bitterness. Lacks some sort of depth - I think the problem is that the spice is too forward and there is no malt to balance it.

Apr 5, 2008 Pours a straw golden color with a large foamy white head. Aroma is spicy, with some clove and belgian yeast. Taste is spicy, yeasty, and a bit of citrus. Reminds me a lot of a Tripel than a Saison. It lacks some of the funkiness that is common in a Saison. Decent but I don’t feel it defines the style well enough.

Apr 4, 2008 Hazy golden body with a thick and dense head. The aroma is earthy with some mushrooms and flowers. Nice and sweet. The taste has some sweet carrots and apples. A fair amount of cinnamon spice goes into this one. It’s like chewing into the crust of a nice sweet pumpkin bread. Lots of carbonation. This is an enjoyable experince.

Apr 3, 2008 375ml of Silver Jubilee from Whole Foods, Raleigh. A light hazy yellow with a billowy Duvel-style head. This one had all kinds of peppery notes in the nose, with just a hint of funk. It tasted exceedingly dry, almost champagne-like, with a bit of tartness and yeastiness in the middle. Not overly complex to me, or necessarily even top-drawer. But certainly enjoyable and worth sampling again.

Apr 2, 2008 What a delight! This beer poured a golden copper body with a small yet fluffy white head. Nutty, yeasty, floral nose. Complex esters of tropical fruits and spices. Great PNW hops presence. Another fine example of an American brewery doing Belgian-style.
