Commercial Description:
A homage to traditional European beers brewed for quenching the thirst of farm workers of "Saisonaires." A unique Belgian Saison yeast is used to impart a mixture of spice, fruity and earthy notes along with a lip smacking palatability.

An orange beer with a beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of fruit - especially oranges. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and quite a lot of fruit, leading to a dry bitter end. Compared to the French farmhouse ales and Belgian Saisons, this is a very clean beer.

Rerate: pours gold with a faint tan head and sparse carbonation. Smells sugary with some peachy notes. Tastes of chewable vitamins and perfumy. Some grassy emelents on the finish. Not what I like in a saison, but better than the infected bottle I initially rated.

Sampled at Arg0’s Pre-RBSG Tasting at his pad: Golden, white head and light lacing. Nose of grassy tart fruity coriander, light wheat. The flavor is funky and tart with a dry bitter finish. Nice farmy citrusy and hoppy compoundes. Lots of good components here, just not spackled together well.

Beautiful poor with bountifullly bubbling CO2. Burnt orange with a thin, lively head. heavy layer of diacytl buttered over an otherwise citrusy aroma. Palate follows, heavy on diacetyl, but bright and lively citrus on finish. Goes down easy. Will certainly purchase again at party source, syracuse

Golden saison with a thin white head. A diacetyl aroma, buttery, with light malt and hops, rather herbal. In mouth, a biscuitty malt, with light coriander notes, not unpleasant, but very buttery mouthfeel. Still dont like those american tries at Saison in the US. Bought at Party Source, Syracuse, August 2006. 5-3-6-2-12

A golden hazy ale with a thick creamy off white head. Aroma of sweet malt, notes of cantaloupe and mandarine. In mouth, creamy spiced malt with light coriander, cardamom and mandarins. Rich bodied Saison. Bought at Bessette’s around fall 2007. 8-4-8-4-14

22oz - thanks clarkVV - Aroma is yeasty, locker room, spice, and hops. Pours hazy orange with a small head and good lacing. Flavor is stronger than aroma with hops and spicy yeast taking over. Palate is crisp and tart. Not as funky as a Euro saison, but still damn tasty.
