Dec 11, 2008 On Tap at the Blind Tiger Ale House, New York, 19-11-08. Labelled as Saison Deluxe 07. Pours hazy golden moving towards a very light amber with a white head. Good soft farmy nose, nice softness in the mouth. This tastes just a little sweet although it is a very decent Saison in all other respects. A nice swirl of lemonyness finishes things off marvellously. A 7 A 4 F 7 P 4 OV 14

Dec 5, 2008 Pours an clean amber/orange body with a huge, sticky white froth. The aroma is rich with dry farmhouse yeast, coriander, and cloves. The flavor starts with a sweet white bread taste with some honey, oranges, artificial sweetner, earthy hops, and farmhouse notes peaking through. A little sweeter than I would usually hope for.

Dec 1, 2008 Pours to a hazy golden yellow with a thick pillowy white head that lingers well into the drink and leaves very good lacing. Aroma is a slight hay with a fruity over-ride, mostly fresh apples and a hint of citurs. Mouthfeel is full, tingly and somewhat tart, and the finish is long and smooth.
Not quite a Dupont, but a darn good American Saison

Aroma is a bit sour with citrus, fruits, light spices, dryness and an earthy element. Taste is earthy with a touch of caramel sweetness. A bit husky with a mild alcohol backbone. Very lively carbonation, with a dry mouthfeel.

Oct 26, 2008 750 ml. Though a little too sweet, this saison has a moderately bitter backbone to add balance. Clear golden body with a large, frothy white head that slowly diminishes. The aroma contains strong notes of mildew, mold, toasted grain, clove, lemon and honey with a hint of grass. The flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter and lightly acidic. The finish is more bitter than sweet and moderately acidic with some peppery alcohol notes. Medium body with a smooth, velvety texture and lively carbonation that is fizzy on the tongue. Overall, an enjoyable, solid saison.
