| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 9, 2006 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. Cletus (5057), Connecticut, USA

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.

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. xproudfoot (729), Paleolithic, Pennsylvania, USA

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 MI2CA (1266), Noblesville, Indiana, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 18, 2006 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.
