| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Nov 3, 2009 341ml bottle from Dépanneur Lauzière. Pours clear yellow witha tiny head. Very short retention. Nose is cheap beer, a bit grainy. Taste is cheap beer and a bit grainy as well. Some yeasty phenols but not much. No lacing at all. Tiny hints of citrus and fruits. Drinkable but there is so much better waiting in the fridge...drain pour.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 26, 2008 341ml botle. Look is light gold. Not very impressive look or aroma..

| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 1/5 | 8/20 | Jul 28, 2008 Bottle - 341ml. Golden cloudy body with instant-fading white bubbly head and lively carbonation. Decent malty/hoppy aroma with yeasty and citrusy hints. Taste, however, is rather watery with some light malty, honeyish, and coriander notes. Finish is almost unperceivable. Disappointing. swoopjones (1920), Buffalo, New York, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jun 16, 2008 Bottle. One of the most tasteless beers Ive encountered. Pours a extremely bland light as can be yellow. Absoultely no spiciness came across. Almost seemed like a light citrus vitamin water. Easy to drink but I found nothing that even resembled a saison here Viper666 (632), Greenfield Park, Quebec, Canada
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 13, 2008 Bouteille 341ml. De couleur jaune-dorée et claire. Nez de levures fruitées aux petites notes acides (agrumes, traces de pommes), léger de biscuits au miel et de pain ainsi qu’avec des notes de grains de malt pâle et de houblon floral-herbeux. Mince-moyenne en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-fort et un peu croustillant ainsi qu’une texture aux petites notes aqueuses. Goût de levures fruitées aux notes acides (agrumes et zest, surtout de la lime, traces de pommes) accompagné de notes de grains de malt pâle lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un léger goût de biscuits au miel et des notes de pain et de céréales puis en finale l’on retrouve une très légère amertume asséchante de houblon floral et herbeux aisni que des notes de levures épicées (poivre très doux). Post-goût court-moyen et moyennement sec, légèrement amer de houblon floral et herbeux avec des petites notes aigres de levures fruitées (zest d’agrumes, notes de pelures de pommes).

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 30, 2008 My Bottom Line:
This Witbier-like Saison sports citrusy spices and fruitiness in a frothy and easygoing mouthfeel made for summer terraces and sun-drenched conversations.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A sheet of foam tops the cloudy white.
-Wheat is prominent in the flavor profile and the spice mix.
-Age is definitely not a factor for this keg. It tastes as fresh as if it had come out a few weeks ago.
-I would not have tried this from the bottle (I’ve been burned often enough by Schoune beers), but I have to admit this tap version was clean and very drinkable.
