Feb 23, 2008 What a great offering Ommegang has put together--do yourself a favor and give this one a shot. The pour is a hazy golden yellow, with noticeable carbonation and a medium/mediium-small head that dissolves very quickly. The aroma is very sweet--a bit of sweet grain and somewhat malty. There’s some sense of floral/fruity notes that resemble bananas with apple pie. The flavor is multi-layered, but incorporates all of the aspects of the aroma and adds a sweet herby taste along with more fruitiness, with ample carbonation to keep the sweetness light. The sweet/spice taste linger into the aftertaste and ths sweetness does leave a bit of a sticky mouthfeel. In the end, definitely something worth trying and something I’ll definitely keep on hand.

Feb 22, 2008 Sampled during Cellar’s Wine & Spirits beer tasting evening in St Paul, Minnesota. From 750 ml bomber pours a semi-hazy golden orange brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that has good retention and some light spotty lacing. Aroma of some fruity character (banana, pears and some apple), spiced herbs, a light yeast funk and a touch of wheat. Taste is medium bodied, plenty of carbonation, with flavors comparable to its aroma but with more multi-grain flavors with light yeast. Finish is semi-sweet, fruity with a dry clove aftertaste that quickly disappears.

Feb 21, 2008 Hazy golden pour with a small foamy yellow head. Wheat and banana in the nose. Good carbonation and solid mouthfeel. Tastes like a really solid hefe - wheat, bread, bananas, clove - but a little stronger. Really nice brew.

Feb 21, 2008 Bottle shared by mmtmatrix. Poured a clear golden color with a fluffy white head. Aroma of fruity esters (banana) and yeast. Semi-sweet, spicy, estery flavors including banana and soft citrus fruits contributed to the taste. Just the right amount of carbonation. Refreshing taste, definitely a solid saison.

Feb 21, 2008 Pours a hazy orange color with a nice full foamy head, that fades to a tasty lacing. Couldnt smell to much because a being sick, but I what I tasted was pretty good.

Feb 21, 2008 good, not great, ommegang. The spice was a little intense at first. A bit too much for my liking, but it grew on me as i drank it. Worth having once and a while
