can, pours hazy orange with a medium frothy white head. Sazz hop and wheat aroma with light notes of orange and lemon. Nice bubblegum flavor of wheat and clove, with a nice spicing and sweetness. There is a little of that peppery sazz in the finish, but really more clean than anything else. This is a good brew.

Can - Light copper pour with a big frothy white head. Smells lightly spiced, with a little yeast. It’s a bit sweet and wheaty--very pleasant. Taste is a little sour and peppery, with some light fruitiness. Finishes with some nice spice and hops, and is light in the mouth, with just a hint of syrup. Nice and refreshing.

Poured from can into Snifter. Mostly clear sunset gold, slight head and lacing. Cloves, pepper, banana - very dry smelling. Slightly sweet banana, fleshy fruit and cloves upfront and turns more spicy and peppery on the finish. Fairly light overall. Moderate carbonation, medium body, slightly dry finish but not nearly as dry as other Saisons. Great thirst quenching summer brew with an ABV (almost 7%) that will sneak up on you.

Can from allendodd. That’s for all that’s Surly. Pours light amber with a fluffy 3-finger off-white head. Aromas of noble hop and light stone fruit. Medium minus body with tart, but not strong, carbonation. It’s sort of peachy backed by noble hop bitter. Grassy/floral/fruity? Pretty damn tasty with a nice bitter finish.

16oz. can poured a clear tarnished gold with a small lingering off white head. Aromas of yeast, pear, pepper, honey and light peach. Palate was light to medium bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of yeast pear, peach and pepper with a crisp dry lightly fruity finish.

16 oz. can (acquired via trade with tennisjoel). Golden yellow pour with a fizzy white head. Aroma of lemon, orange, pepper, and just a bit of funk. Spicy pepper and coriander flavor along with some tart citrus. A solid beer.

9/28/09 notes: GABF Friday. Smooth body, with a funky and slightly acidic nose. Flavors of wheat, soft funk and lemon. Pretty good, though did not leave a lasting impression.
