Pours a cloudy dirty orange color with big bubbly head that sticks.
Spicy grassy hops, lemon zest, bready malts, hay and a slight sour funkiness all come out in the nose.
Crisp carbonation keeps it light and effervescent. Good bit of acidity.
Sweet bread and hay flavors balanced by the aggressive carbonation (which immediately foams in the mouth) and a good dose of lemony acidity. Somewhat dry bitter finish.
This is no little knock-off Saison, this is the real deal with nice acidity and even a mild funk. Would like to see how this ages.

Oct 1, 2008 Foggy brass colored pour with a medium sized foamy and fizzy head with moderate persistence. Medium lacing. Nose of yeast with traces of citrus. Initial taste impression is a sharp tartness, like an apple. Notes of citrus and bread in the taste as well. Initial tartness rather quickly and abruptly segues into a classic hop bitterness that lingers to form the finish. A nice, if not outstanding, saison.

Sep 16, 2008 Bright orange color lightly cloudy in look with a nice foamy white head. Smell is oranges, spiced, cooriandor, and fruit. Taste is spiced, fruits flavrors, and some yeast.

Sep 13, 2008 Bottle: Hazy orange pour with a fading white head. The aroma has some orange peel, marmalade, musty yeast, and flowery notes. Spritzy palate, with a very yeasty flavor. Some very mild sweet notes of bubblegum come through, along with lots of mineral-y flavors. Dry Belgian yeast offers some mildly spicy phenolics. It’s a bit too mineral-y, still decent.
