| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 26, 2009 Nice saison and definitely hands and feet better quality than the overly uninspiring Paper City lineup. It would be nice to see a quality brewer coming out of Western Mass making more than silly one-off beers to rival BBC and People’s Pint.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 3, 2009 On tap at Rattle’n’Hum. This is a dry, sharp saison. I could taste some vanilla and wheat, and some sourness and pine/menthol hop flavors too. Slightly herbal aftertaste. Complex and tasty - definitely a superior saison.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 29, 2009 Blonde with a rich creamy head. Grassy and clean, indistinct herbal-tinged aroma redolent of new spring. Earthy, herbal flavors, perhaps of wintergreen? Fairly high amounts of European hops. Lightly peppered and phenolic with a crisp, bitter-sour, tannic herbal finish. rustychiles (1053), Mesa, Arizona, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 26, 2009 Pour is orange with a huge large bubbled white pillow like head. Floral notes with spices and fruit. Very nice nose. Flavor is a bit muted, but otherwise very nice. Flavor really mimics the nose. A different take on the saison style, but quite nice. Good effort overall. Maverick34 (701), New York, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 24, 2009 Draught. It was like a saison, but with way too many hops poured into it. I thought it was decent but not for the style. blipp (1669), Newark, New Jersey, USA

The flavor has a peppery spicy note that rubs me slightly the wrong way. Light earthy notes and a light sweetness, followed by a pleasant dry finish. Decent. mcox90 (634), Wilton, USA
