Pours red/brown with a tan head. The aroma is sweet, yeasty and spicy. The flavor is sweet fruit like apple and pear with some spices. It actually reminds me a lot of spiced apple cider. A little syrupy, with a mildly bitter finish.

nice beer, brown appearance. I thought it had a bit of a sweet taste, spiced a bit, good body.

Had it on tap at the Pony Bar in NYC. Pretty good beer. Pours a dark brown with a medium head. Nose of yeast and roasted malts. Flavor is interesting: a plethora of fruity notes atop a malty foundation. Slightly sour. Finishes crisp and clean.

Draft @ Village Beer Merchant. As a fan of the saison style, I wasn’t impressed with this strange hybrid. It’s like a sour dark hefeweizen with lots of roasty brown ale-type notes, and lots of spice/banana/wheat-yeast characteristics. If it was labeled something other than saison, my brain might stop trying to make sense out of it and therefore enjoy it more. Ehhhhh....

On tap at Rohrbach’s. Dark brown with orange highlights, nice head. Toffee, butterscotch, some sour yeasty notes, I also noted the banana/clove hefe notes, fine by me, as I’m not real sure what the saison style is anyway. Sour palate, complex stuff, nice mouthfeel.

Sampled at the Great Tucson Beer Festival. Not a fan of this at all. Didn’t really find the saison in here...in fact, tons of hefe characteristics with strong banana and clove presence. Dark ruby brown color with a small eggshell head...medium mouthfeel. Don’t really understand this one.
