I let the gf choose between this and London Porter for #100 - 12 oz. bottle from John’s Grocery (Iowa City, IA). Pours a very hazy straw yellow color with a substantial white head. Aromas are of belgian yeast, citrus, spices, a touch of grassiness, and bit of sweetness. Initial taste is light, with a bit of sweet citrus, spiciness, and a dryness that is it’s most noticeable characteristic. It really does taste like a barn smells (A concept I never understood before). Dry bitter finish that I really like followed by a slightly sweet mellow aftertaste. Complex yet was able to grasp it. A great beer to discover on #100. Cheers all! SamGamgee (1469), Santa Cruz (La Selva), California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 17, 2008 375ml bottle. Clear straw yellow with a huge rocky head. Dusty yeasty and grassy hoppy aroma with some honey malt sweetness. Dry and peppery spiced flavor. Dusty yeast with light malt sweetness and a slightly soapy, hoppy finish. High carbonation with a lighter body. Its pretty nice stuff, and quite refreshing and flavorful without being overbearing. MJGG (424), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 16, 2008 Bouteille verte de 750 ml. Arômes de levure, légère touche sucrée et épicée. Robe orange pâle, légèrement trouble, belle effervescence. Belle rondeur en bouche, on retrouve une belle amertume de levure et de houblon. Le goût caractéristique d’une saison (céréales, levure, foin) est bien présent et bien équilibré. Une bière facile à boire et très intéressante. masonjer (564), Holt, Michigan, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 16, 2008 Poured a hazy straw color into the glass. Nice billowy white head. Smell was some barnyard, little citrus and spice. Taste was much the same, true to style, nice hint of funk and earthy hops on the finish. Very well balanced. well done. v64 (74), Austin, Texas, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 12, 2008 Dark, yellowish brown in color. Thick, bubbly head. Average aroma, nothing special. Nice, balanced hoppy taste. Solid beer, but not really my style. texasbartender (160), Sugarland, Texas, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 11, 2008 The beer pours a hazy yellow color. It has a thick white head made up of tiny little bubbles. The nose is a dusty mix of spice yeast and hops. The mouth feel is highly carbonated. The taste is a sweet mix of spice with a very forward flavor of acidic lemon. The finish is a dry sweetness that is somewhat lingering. A great example of this beer style. Yves (1050), Beerse, Belgium

Fulle sweet palate. Ending is balanced, little hoppy and some bitterness in the background. Juelze (922), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | May 9, 2008 Trade from Ross, thanks! Pours a hazy straw color with huge pillowy head. Aroma is of brett, light yeast funkiness and mild citrus flavors. Taste is a bit lighter then the St. Somewhere I had and became spoiled from having taste it. However, this is still good and worth the praise. Easy to drink and alcohol is well hidden. Excellent saison.
