Feb 22, 2009 Finally! Oakes repaid his debt! Luminescent cloudy gold with lively large, long-lasting rocky head and lacing. Aromatic brew! Egg shell, citrus rind, herb (?thyme?), grass, white wine, laurel leaf, perfume. Enters with pleasant up-front tartness. Smooths instantly as the lively effervescence tickles the mouth and throat. Lovely leathery quality in flavors and texture. Undeniably saison complexity without any wacky insanity. Has some pineapple, white grape, lemon peel and herbal magic. Grain in background signals sturdy malt backbone. Finishes extraordinarily clean. Is good enough to be special but easy enough to be sessionable. A great beer better in my mouth than on the sidewalk :)

Feb 17, 2009 [1817-20081022] 375mL bottle. Mild grapefruit flesh aroma has lots of citrus rind. Hazy, light orange yellow body with a medium-lasting foamy white head and heavy red floaties. Sour grapefruit orange continues in the flavour. Medium body is sour. Interesting.

Jan 21, 2009 Very hazy golden coloured body with a super-dense white head. Aroma of coriander seed, wheat, hops and curacao. Medium-bodied; Sharp wheat up front then fades dramatically. Mild coriander seed taste-good flavour-no off tastes. Aftertaste shows some nice flavours - a good beer, not great...but good to try! I sampled this 75 cL bottle purchased at Whole Foods in Tyson’s Corner, Virginia on 17-September-2005.

Jan 16, 2009 Very lively once the cork flew out. A very hazy straw like gold. Mounds of off white foam and one or two floaters. Not all too appetizing at first glance.
Sweet, fresh gooseberry with hints of banana from the yeast. Quite late summery. A harvest beer?
A little tart at first then mellowing into wholesome sweet bread. It’s a nice journey encompassing tight sour flavours and floury textures. Quite thin but it keeps it refreshing. A little cereally in the finish.
Pretty tasty saison. Though having any more than one may lead to a bit of a stomach ache. Thumbs up.
