Dec 29, 2005 [bomber] Pours a bright gold golor, with a short head that dissolves quickly. Aroma is funky yeast and spices. Tastes interesting and unique.. kind of like some weird cheese. This is decent, but not my thing.

Dec 28, 2005 huge foamy white head. grains and malt dominate the aroma with hints of spices. bitter grainy flavor. I don’t notice the usual Rogue hop character. lacks the sweetness of belgian saison’s.

Dec 28, 2005 Heavy aroma of yeast and cheese. True to the Belgian Saison style as far as I can tell. Decent flavor, but keep your eyes shut and nose closed. Good if this is what you like, but very different. Very very different.

Dec 28, 2005 Poured a cloudy orangish color. Aroma was filled with yeast, and an unpleasant cheese like smell. Sediment settled out after a while to give a nasty looking brew, I found this to be Rogues worst attempt at a beer. Besides the yeast, this whole thing was just funky.

Dec 28, 2005 Updated: Dec 29, 2005The aroma is heavy with yeast. It gives it a cheese like quality with lots of spices and maybe just a little ammonia, smoke, and dirty feet. The appearance is exactly what Saison should look like. It’s a cloudy gold with a small head. The flavor is cheese taste and the spices really dominate the taste as well. The bitterness from the hops hit you in the finish. Overall it is a really good beer if you can handle the aroma.

Dec 28, 2005 Seductive body of murky cider appearance. A light yeasty aroma further tempts the senses. The taste is a mixed bag of herbal flavors with none really standing out. The finish is of yeasty citrus. Perhaps this would be better with aging. Unfortunately the flavors were not developed enough to truly pique the senses.

Dec 27, 2005 Foggy orange pour with a solid and steady fluffy white head. Aroma is herbal and fruity with a light wiff of alcohol. Slow but dependable carbonation bubbles rise in the glass. Flavor is Grainy, citrusy, fruity and finishes rather acidic. I find this to be a bit hard on the stomach and harsh. I was suprised by the low ratings but I must admit sadly.... I agree.
