Hazy amber coloured beer with some light carbonation and a small white head. Light herby and especially a light fruity touched aroma. Full palate. Finish is light bitter and fruity touched with at the end a dry yeasty hint. Not bad.

Dec 24, 2009 Draft at Cheeky Monk - cloudy peach-colored beer, with an impressive, frothy head - quite an earthy beer indeed, with a lot of cellared, cobweb notes - not as dry as a lot of saisons - actually, there is quite a bit of honey sweetness - this one sits somewhere in between saison and biere de garde - apricot and other fruity notes - toasted grains - wheaty tang - spicy, almost peppery finish, with lingering sweetness behind it - quite tasty, actually.

Dec 6, 2009 On Tap @ The Trappist. Excellent Saison - without funk! Pours a cloudy orange with white head that goes away. Notes of orange peel and lemongrass. Very dry and fruity - if you can believe that.

Dec 5, 2009 Appearance: Pours out a richly-hued, golden-orange body with a rapidly expansive, long lasting, white head.
Smell: Opening wafts of pale and pils malts with a sweet-smelling aroma of fresh honey braced with ensuing notes of flowers, soft fruits, and a light touch of spice. Some slight phenols are tucked away in there as well.
Taste: Pils and pale maltiness along with, perhaps, some slightly tangy wheat blended in. A big, eye-opening sweetness rockets in with a taste of clover honey and candi sugar. Fleeting fruity hints of white peach and melon juice. As with the nose, there’s slight phenolics going on. Flowery, spicy hop character with a light bitterness. The flavor picks up some slight winey notes reminiscent of Riesling upon warming. Drying, effervescent finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Very well carbonated.
Drinkability: A good saison that’s big on sweetness, and, if you’re big on saisons that are big on sweetness, then give St. Feuillien Saison a go.
