Complex floral aroma, spicy and herbs. Flavor is also complex, not heavy. Aromatic flowers, spices. Sweet with an unusually sharp bitterness. Refreshing, strange and wonderful. The most interesting beer for me at this session. yobdoog (1502), Woodridge NY, New York, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 24, 2007 Shared by OldSock. Hazy pale body with a small white head - fading. The nose is cotton candy, flowers, light caramel and doughy bread. The favor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter and floral with herbs, cotton candy and cracker. Medium/full body is soft with gentle, light carbonation. A strange, plant bitterness in the finish is the only real negative. awaisanen (1279), Irvine, California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 28, 2006 From bottle, poured at the 2006 Pizza Port 12 Hour Belgian Beer Party courtesy of cquiroga. Beady, lemony yellow pour with a huge white head. Wonderfully wild aromas of freshly mown lawn, wheat bread, and an almost cloying herbal sweetness of honey and lavender. The flavors are a smidgen sweeter than the aroma suggested, but not in an overly unpleasant kind of way. Fresh bread dough and the wave of floral tones balance out the honey flavored brew sugars quite well. Smack of ginseng and honeysuckle. riversideAK (2769), Shoreline, Washington, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 1, 2008 Rating from memory. 2005 bottle, purchased at some lovely bottle shop in Philly. A really interesting saison that lingers in the memory, with a full body, pleasantly piqant aroma, and a sharp, quirky flavor. Hibiscus and rose petals come across to this relatively unsophisticated nose, giving an interesting quality to an already good saison (less buttery than their Deluxe). I do hope to try this again sometime.
