May 19, 2009 Thanks to JMFG for sharing the goodness. Pours a golden color with a fruity and funky aroma that doesn’t overpower. The flavors are tart and fruity, with pears and grapes. A little spice in the finish.

Mar 30, 2009 CPLYFO 09. Thanks to Dan for sharing! Pours a really nice slightly cloudy deep golden- bright orange with a massive fluffy lasting head- and good lace. Aroma is loaded with nice full fresh breadiness, pils malts, light sweetness which is cut by a sharp yeasty phenolic character- very saison like with some citrus hints, light spicy phenols, and slight seafoam scent. Doughy pils malt flavor, yet not too big or sweet, spicy, lemony, spritzy with salt, light brine, and a slight tartness in the end along with it being bone dry make for a very well made saison. Rockin!

Mar 17, 2009 750ml via trade with explosivebeer, drank cellar temp shared with my girlfriend. 2007 Vintage bottled 8/07. Pours orange with a tan head. I love when a cork pops and the nose is abundant and this beer has that and a wonderful nutty biscuitty sweet and slightly spiced nose. Taste is sweet and light with a really delicious creamy mouthfeel. I like this a lot, it isn’t the best saison but its damn tasty.

Mar 17, 2009 Bottle from the Otown throwdown. Thanks cheeseman! Coudy and a bit chunky. Aroma of coriander, oranges and yeast. Flavor is really more like a witbier. I get no saison notes at all. Creamy and yeasty it is nice but fails for the style.

Mar 16, 2009 FRO Throwdown: Cloudy yellow, foamy head. Bready with cloves? Lemony, coriander, wheaty. Minty coriander flavors. Lightly spicy finish. A witbier labeled as saison or something?

Mar 15, 2009 Courtesy TheCheeseman. Pours a cloudy bright orange with a medium foamy white head. Smells of orange peel, light spice, and some coriander and citrus. The orange peel is more evident in the flavor, with a dose of hops becoming noticeable as well. the spice chaacter and refreshing citrus notes came through in the finish. Pretty solid saison here.

Feb 16, 2009 750 ml corked and caged bottle ordered over the web directly from the brewery. 2008 Vintage. Pour is initially clear golden with tons of cascading (reverse cascading I suppose) carbonation bubbles building up a 2 inch white head that falls pretty quick. The final pour was hazed. Aroma of herbal floral sweet hay and yeastiness. Some notes of honey and apricot. Taste is the honey sharp sweetness, herbal, grassy hay and clove spice yeastiness. Complex taste, decent melding of flavors. The aftertaste has a lot of clove to it. Palate is medium, mouth coating and a bit less thirst quenching than other Saisons I have enjoyed. The honey cloys a bit towards the end. Overall, a nice Saison.
