Jul 20, 2008 Out of the bottle the aroma of spicy yeast is amazing. I almost appreciate the aroma of this fine saison more than the flavor. Pours a slightly hazy straw golden with beautifully spritzy carbonation. Make sure to have 2 or 3 tulips ready when you pour because the carbonations forms a huge head that is retained very well. Drinks with a very dry, yet fruity flavor with semi-lingering finish. I just love Saison & this one is on the top of my list. I appreciate the bone dry & spicy aspects to this beer and wish that more American brewers produced a beer with theses characteristics as opposed to the more fruity, sweet side. Blaugies never lets me down.

Jul 19, 2008 My label looks nothing like the picture here, but all of the info matches properly. This is similar in profile to Dupont, but slightly sweeter and a little less bitter. Still a terrific saison.

Jun 27, 2008 750 ml bottle. A very cloudy golden beer with a huge and persistent white head. The aroma is fantastic, more hoppy and yeasty than malty. There are notes of grass, herbs, hay, citric fruits and some spices. The flavour has a light sweetness and a balanced acidity. Again very grassy with some fruity and spicy notes. Medium body, lively carbonation, dry, medium lenght finish with moderate bitterness. Fantastic aroma, balanced tartness, lovely flavours, maybe a longer finish (that however is very clean) would have helped. But this is a very good stuff.

Jun 18, 2008 75cl bottle courtesy of markwise purchased at Knightly Spirits (Orlando, FL). Pours a dark golden color with a very thick, creamy white head that settles slowly. Smells of spice, wheat, yeast, malt. Flavor has notes of citrus and hops with a slightly dry character. Lacks depth, but a drinkable saison.
