Jun 25, 2009 pours a murky yellow with a nice white head. Notes of lemon, grass, cloves, and some nonoffensive skunkyness. Flavor has some light bitterness. smooth with a dry finnish. Refreshing. pretty decent and i would drink this again. Some subtle aromas and flavors. No big punch. nice on a hot day though

Jun 24, 2009 Bottle. Golden colour with a long lasting thick white head. Spicy aroma with notes of pepper, lemon and hops. The flavour is slightly sweet, spicy, citric and hoppy with malty notes. Finish is dryish, medium body. Very nice, refreshing brew.

Jun 20, 2009 Bottle from Whole Foods. Poured a really lovely golden yellow with lively carbonation and a solid white head that held. The aroma is an easy indicator of what’s to come in the flavor. The carbonation and the tart dryness (lemons, orange, paprika) of this beer make it incredibly refreshing on a hot summer night.

Jun 19, 2009 On tap at Stone. Nice gold color with a cap of thick white froth. Subtle spicy aroma, cloves and pepper, lemons, and grain. Flavor is similar with a grainy base, lemony wheat notes, and a dry, peppery finish. Perfect balance and interplay between flavors are what make this the quintessential saison. Refreshing and drinkable.

Jun 19, 2009 Poured a bold rocky white head with a very pale golden body that produced significant lacing. Aroma hinted toward funk, but was rather sweet and mellow, banana, orange, lemon zest, pear, pepper, and a little woody. Flavor was sweet lemony pepper, a tease of funk, floral, and slightly woody. Altogether light, quite subtle and thirst quenching

Jun 17, 2009 Pours slightly cloudy straw-orange into the glass, with a huge frothy head that retains well and leaves nice sudsy lace. Immediately, the nose hits me of extreme earth notes, with hints at of burning rubber (exactly that of a pencil eraser that has been overused, and still warm from the friction). Very pilsner-esque so far. The flavors come nicely, some lemon, hops, silo grains and dry spices. Everything integrates well, with a touch of pepper toward the finish to pull everything together. The mouthfeel is very easy-drinking with decent carbo levels. Not my particular style of choice, but the rating is not based on my likeness; rather, my appreciation for the offering. Good job for a saison.... almost an impy pils imho.
