| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 19, 2009 750ml. Hazy, deep gold body with a lasting white head. Pleasant aroma of clove, banana and orange juice with a hint of pepper. Also, hints of flowers and mold. The flavor is moderately sweet and moderately bitter. It finishes much the same, but with an added tang and acidity. Dry, but not as dry as classics. Medium body with a creamy texture and lively carbonation. A little sweet and not overly complex. Still, this was an enjoyable, solid saison.
