| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 10, 2009 Pours hazy yellow / orange with a frothy head. The aroma has dry nectar fruit that’s grainy with funky earthy yeast, light pepper, coriander and other spices. Medium grainy body that is smooth and crisp with a good amount of soft carbonation. The flavor has all of the aroma traits and a ton of spice - very dry and refreshing. The finish has nectar fruit, spice and funky yeast - thoroughly enjoyable. Thumbs up to this winner.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 6, 2009 [Bottle] Pours a clear glowing gold with an effervescent white head that turns rather rocky and leaves a lot of sticky lacing. Aroma is peppery, white and black, lots of orange and tangerine, and a little yeast. Flavor is initially citrusy and fades to the peppery, spicy finish. Not a bad beer at all. The mouthfeel is a little rich and there is a touch of bitterness on the back end. Beaver (598), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 6, 2009 750 ml bottle, cork says 2008. Pours a clear golden yellow with a creamy white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is funky yeast, floral hops and a little leather and pepper.
The flavor is a little sweet malts and fruit and some spicy yeast with a dry lightly bitter floral hop finish. As it warms, sweet fruits start to dominate. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with spritzy carbonation.
Overall, it’s decent but not one of the better saisons I’ve had. xnoxhatex (1305), Grand Rapids/Chicago, Michigan, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 4, 2009 First bottling (i beleive) from trade, huge pop! Clear, straw with large white, small bubbled head. Aroma is peppery, dry, yeast spice, slight citrus, funky, bretty, pineapple, serious horse blanket, nice. Dry, peppery, dirty, grapefruit, very spicey, surpising alc presence, okay. Light and active carbonation. Very nice, enjoy the aroma more than the flavor, but its not bad. Pepper actually adds a little heat. Sammy (4002), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 4, 2009 Whitish body with lots of white foam on top. Yeast and lightly spicy aroma. Easy drinking medium mouthfeel, the taste is a light bitterness integrated with the spicy yeast, a little boozy but most drinkable.Bottle picked up in Brandon, Florida. A very good saison, although not the greatest I have ever had. drfabulous (1241), Columbia, Missouri, USA
