Bottle 33 cl. A hazy beautiful yellow colored beer, with a nice white head. It disappears soon. It has a very rich aroma of yeast, citrus, grains. Very complex. The taste is fresh, it has citrus fruits in it, some spices. It has a very nice bitterness with a dry after taste. a very good summer beer.

Jul 25, 2008 bottle at louie’s. Man this is a great beer. Well balanced like the commercial description says. And understated. Aroma of yeast and floral hops. Wonderfully mild farmhouse flavor with dry finish.

Jul 18, 2008 Has anyone ever confused this with a hefeweizen? Color and palate seem very similar. I’ve had this beer plenty of times but my 1st rating of it when the beer is in front of me. Aroma is captivating. Some slight bitter and off flavors on the finish. Floral, hay, summer day in the mountains cool refreshing type of beer, yet still showing a lot of hops. Could see how this could be considered the model all other Saison’s are produced from. There is a weight and concentration I can’t remember any other Saison having. I believe the cork was branded with the year, 2008. Very nice feature.
