luiss (89), Elmsford, New York, USA Jan 13, 2007 Tap- A nice cloudy yellow, orange look. The head is thick and creamy with plenty of carbonation. Lively beer with an aroma of fresh daisy austinpowers (2828), New York, New York, USA Dec 14, 2006 Golden, smacks of alcohol. Thinnish like a typical Saison. Herbal/grassy flavors with lots of fizz. SoLan (1369), Orlando, Florida, USA Nov 26, 2006 Courtesy of The Epeeist. 2005. Glowing, hazy gold. Large, foamy, fluffy, airy, white head. Flavor and aroma: musty, grainy, floral, perfume, fragrant herbs, earthy hops. Balanced medium body. Awesome. Have to get more. duff (5474), Surrey, Greater London, England Sep 23, 2006 Bottle, with ClarkVV and Sully. Golden colour. Aroma is flowery/spicy. palate is sweet and quite folowery and spicy, as it was in the aroma. I’m not sure what flower is responsible for the ginger, but i get definite ginger characters. I’m not a fan of ginger , so it inevitably affected my score, to much flowery spicyness for me. nhorween (639), Chicago, Illinois, USA Aug 30, 2006 Updated: Mar 30, 2007Bottle, 2005. Pours a golden honey color, very clear (at least the top is) with a sudsy white head. Nose is yeast, cheese, apples, candy sugar, floral - I assume that’s the flowers brewed in - bread, hay... a great saison aroma. Flavor is very fresh - lemony, pear, only slightly bitter, but almost tart. Dry finish, very carbonated, but a nice dry finish. A great take on a saison, not outrageous, but different enough to please. rerate - mega spicy, no rating change, i still love it. TheEpeeist (1429), Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 23, 2006 25.4 oz bottle vintage 2005. Slowly rising hazy straw yellow; big white head dies with veils of lace. Each pour adds drifts of foam. Fresh melon, rose hips, banana bread and lemon zest. Exquisite. Lemon tart with a pinch of grated lime peel. Flower petal finish. Just perfect carb with a smooth, rich body. Restrained floral; bracing with subtle complexity. A treat for all the senses. An outstanding saison! Sickboy282 (1098), San Diego, California, USA Jul 20, 2006 Pours a cloudy golden hue with a white head. Aromas are sweet with hints of honey, almonds, pez/candy. Flavors of candy, roses , honey, and very refreshing and light on the palate. Philip (436), Illinois, USA Jul 13, 2006 Another bottle thanks to Noah. I recall having this at DL Day, but there wasn’t enough in the glass to rate it. Strong notes of lemon and chamomile on the nose leading into a decided note of lemon and Sprite like lymon notes on the palate. Floral and spice kick in with a fine lemon finish. The best saison I’ve sampled to date. Great stuff.
