bomber from bob. Thanks! Pours yellow and clean. Pillowy fluff head. Smells are bread, flowers, and ginger. Taste of floral, rusty iron, and dry martinis. A wonderful saison.

Corked and caged bottle via trade w/ MrBendo. Bright golden color, slight funk and lots of citrus on the nose, tastes of creamy vanilla and citrus, slightly tart, awesome saison.

bottle. pours a clear pale gold with a huge white head that fades halfway pretty quickly, but slows down, and leaves huge chunks of lacing as it goes. nutty malt smell with a lot of coriander, which does a good job hiding the fresh spring morning backdrop that the yeast are trying to create. light fruit (oranges, white grapes, pears, and apples) notes occasionally reveal themselves, but the spice is too assertive for them to play a big role. in the taste, the nutty malt is again the dominant component, and again the spice ruins what appears like it would be a pretty solid ester profile. light, dry finish, some bitterness from the spice, and a bit of some hop bitterness, very little sweetness, fairly light body, kind of a surprising resinous mouthfeel. rather astringent. very bubbly. i didn’t really notice much in the way of tartness, and there’s no noticeable brett, either. it’s a good beer, though my tone might suggest otherwise. i am just personally tired of the beers where the yeast might create a unique and wonderful character but they kill it with too much spice. still, every fan of belgian golden ales ought to give it a try.

750ml bottle from nolankowal. Very nice saison. Pours a bright, hazy gold with a lasting cumulus like head. Estery, spicy and malty aroma. Spicy yeast, light tropical esters. Some dusty, dry, midsummer grass. Light amount of spice on the tongue with a balancing amount of tropical fruit and hay. Very balanced and refreshing. Medium bodied, quite lush and creamy with good carbonation. A well made example of the style for sure.

i really like saisons. they are really refreshing. pours out a cloudy orangish color with a huge head. aroma was sweet and citrusy with hints of the barn yard. I love that aspect of these beers. flavor had a grassy taste with a nice hop mix to it. fantastic brew.
