Nov 18, 2007 On tap at the brewpub on 6/20/07: Pours a slightly hazy bronze copper with a thin-lacing white head. Slightly sweet earthy caramel malty nose has some floral hop balance. Body starts fairly full and toasty earthy caramely sweet with a touch of biscuity Belgian malt toward a drier, authentic bready finish. A pretty decent saison.

Oct 23, 2007 GABF 2007. 55 IBUs and 5.5%. The beer pours to a thin gold body that is extremely watery. A thin creamy white head. The aroma is spot-on-Saison-duPont. Yeasty, clean grains. The flavor is tart, yeasty, with tons of saison qualities. Grains meet yeasts. Tart. The palate is dry, refreshing, and tart. A superb saison. Creamy light mouthfeel. I had a bunch of this beer.

Oct 15, 2007 Light amber pour, lite white head. Traditional yeasty aroma, light white peppers and honey w/ hints of what i’m told are juniper berries. Avg pal. Odd sweet juniper a touch of tart in the finish and a hint of clove. I’m not a fan of this beer.

Jul 5, 2007 Sampled at RB in downtown Chicago. Pretty sure this is the first Saison I’ve ever tasted and I was pleasantly surprised. Spicy aroma, the juniper and coriander were definitely noticeable and well done. Sweet and tasty beer.
