May 30, 2003 Draught.
Body is hazy light yellow.
Aroma is
lightly malty (toasted grain),
lightly hoppy (flowers, lemon),
lightly yeasty (cobwebs),
with a note of vinegar.
Flavor is
moderately sweet, moderately acidic, acetic.
Finish is
lightly sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter, acetic.
Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.
Have had twice now several weeks apart...the vinegar elements are consistent. Oh well.

May 11, 2003 I'm assuming this is the "Saison Wheat": Yellow-orange with a weakish head. Light and creamy mouthfeel. Sweet bread dough malts with some light, flowery hops. Bitter hop nip in the finish.

Apr 30, 2003 Not bad as simply a refreshing golden beer on a hot day; but not very distinguished as a Saison. The French need not worry about Oskar Blues.
