Apr 8, 2008 [draft] Pours a clear straw gold with a moderate white head. Aroma is a lot of banana, a little bit of yeast, and other fruity smells. Flavor matches the aroma. Very light and refreshing in the mouth and very easy to drink. It just doesn’t have the funkiness of many of the other beers of this style, but it is a great brew nonetheless.

Apr 8, 2008 Beautiful hazy golden pour, a little lighter around the edges. Huge white pillowy head. Very effervescent. Nose is inviting. Spring flowers, yeast, cloves, hay and white fruit. Flavors of apples, pears, white grapes, subtle coriander and clove, homemade bread, and splash of lemon perhaps. Very crisp and fresh. Flavor palate, although expressive, is not "in your face", very laid back. Great body and smooth finish. A little more sweet than I was expecting but great nonetheless.

Apr 6, 2008 My opinion the best Belgian Ale made in the United States. The appearance is a good copper color, the flavor is incredible which will turn your palate upside down, overall fantastic, you won’t mind paying the $12 a bottle or up to $28 at some restaurants.

Apr 5, 2008 Updated: Jun 3, 2009super dry and yeasty, like a saison should be. fruit flavors or hops are not prevelant, only a delicious bread like yeast. amazing that americans can produce such accurate depictions of belgians, great brew!

Hazy pale yellow color, white head. Very fruity, sweetish, slightly hayish and papery hoppy aroma. Sweetish fruit sugar flavor, alcoholic, some pepperness. This is American style saison - too sweet for my liking.

Apr 4, 2008 Bottled. Hazy yellowish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruits, yeast, alcohol and some spices. Flavour is very much the same, with the alcohol giving a really sweet sting. Also some toffeeish notes. Strange.

Apr 4, 2008 Quite spicy, with citrus and malt flavors that sort of remind me of an octoberfest. I think it was a good introduction to this style.
