Apr 20, 2008 Deep hazy golden amber coloured body with a nice sized dense tan head. Aroma of fresh malt, spices, hops and a bit of an alcoholic kick. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong alcoholic and malty taste with a good hop background and a potent spiceyness with some grassy notes noticeable. Aftertaste shows a bit more kick with some light sweetness near the end. Overall, a good beer - nothing too special, but good to try! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from K&E Discount Beverage in New Paltz, New York on 19-April-2008.

Mar 23, 2008 Updated: Aug 7, 2008Pours hazy amber with huge head and great lacing. Nose of ctirus, and yeast- earthy and subtle. Very drinkable and refreshing, while still having great complexity and taste. This is great.
Re-Rate: Lots of cirtus and spicy yeast. Thirst quenching and highly drinkable, with seemingly perfect mouthfeel for the style.

Mar 16, 2008 22 oz bomber served in my Smuttynose snifter. Pours a hazy golden amder color with a 1/2" white head. Moderate lacing coats my glass. Nose is bananna & mixed spices ( can’t really put my finger on it). Mouthfeel is lively with good carbonation & a tart fresh taste. The up front flavor is the Belgian yeast Smutty uses in this brew. Also, bananna, cloves, lemon & a slight hop presence. Alcohol is hidden behind all the aforementioned flavors. As I mentioned in discussing the mouthfeel, this beer is tart, clean & fresh. I drank it in March, but it would be a great summer beer.

Feb 5, 2008 22 oz bomber from Discount Liquors. Clear orange with a fluffy off white head. Lots of spice in the nose with malts and hefe notes. Creamy banana esters were not what I was expecting. Orange and lemon with pepper and a slight earthy funk. Lots of toasted malts underlying the flavors. Creamy wheat with a light lemon and banana sweetness. Pepper, spicy hops, earthiness. Decent beer. The slight funk/earthiness is a bit strange, but enjoyable.

Feb 5, 2008 Transparent and magnifying bright brass in color with a dust like fizz rising to feed an icy grey head. Aroma rises to the charge as well. Ginger, nutmeg, coriander and muskrit interweave with caramel and almond shells, encasing wheat stalks in the last summer season. Flavor produces a full array of much that is good in the world. Bright carbonation catches the tip of the tongue and then a hoppy edge interweaves with earthen spicing to balance the authority nicely. Almond sweetened honey oats treat with grains of paradise and a touch of ragweed over cracked wheat stalks. A trace of mustard seed imparts a rudimentary rawness over toasted grain while ginger and coriander impart the prevailing spicing. Fuller bodied like a good ol’ smutty, finishing with a numbed yet titillated afterlife that hums with coriander, honeyed wheat bran and ragweed hanging in the summer wind. Thanks for the bomber, tpkenned!

Feb 3, 2008 July 2006 - Golden straw color, pillowy head. Sweet aroma with a touch of farmhouse funky. The flavor profile was similar to Hennepin...a tad sweet and a tad "underfunked" for a typical saison, but delicious nonetheless. Wheaty base, fruity, spices and pepper and a touch of honey. Excellent for a summer night on the deck (which is exactly how I had it)!
