Mar 2, 2003 bottled (RAF): clouds of orangish cider colored fluid with a nice cream covered topping and aromas of strong yeast, spice, and acidic twang..Flavors exhibited notes of chewy cake drenched in liqour, spiced rum, ginger heat..whispers of orange peel bitterness..full body with heavy spicing filling in any palate gaps..this is like a sophisticated dessert.

Sep 29, 2003 Bright orange and murky. Wonderful nose full of ginger, rye, and curry, oddly enough. Spicy. A little thin, but refreshing and bold with the rye bread and ginger flavors. Very punchy.

Mar 1, 2004 Updated: Jun 28, 2005Dense, dirty orange color with a bright foamy white head. Almost looked unfiltered. Sweet and spicy nose (Liberty? Hallertau?) with a light yeasty presence. Gentile, soft carbonation. Full mouthfeel that has a candi sugar meets classic Belgian orange peel/ corriander flavor. Slightly tart. Big orangey finish with bready, banana flavored yeast. I really like the yeast flavors on this. Took Silver at GABF in ’03, along with many other awards. Really nice interpretation of the style.

Dec 20, 2003 Hazy orange from the tap at the pub with a thin white head. Clear, crisp finish with nice spicey flavors. Not as subtle as other saisons I like, but a very easy drinking beer.

Mar 2, 2003 Bottled (RAF). Nice spiciness in this dry beer. Coriander, orange, clove, soft yeastiness and nice, dry hay. This is a pretty good saison, not my favorite, but worth drinking. A pretty good balance.

Oct 15, 2005 GABF 2005: Golden hued with a small head and some lace. The aroma had notes of banana, clove, cardamom, pepper, bready malt and dusty esters, nice. The taste starts with a fruity twang and a mild flowery background. Some spicy and yeast character as well. The feel was just average, fit within the style. A nice beer but lacks that something special.

Nov 4, 2006 Multiple samples, GABF 2006.
Head is mostly lasting.
Body is dark yellow.
Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (toasted bread/grain, cookie), with notes of clove and grains of paradise.
Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter.
Finish is lightly sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, moderately bitter.
Medium body, watery/velvety texture, lively carbonation.
Spiced rendition for sure, but not overly done (like the Powerhouse version, e.g.). Decent mouthfeel and appearance help the total experience.
