Jan 23, 2009 Trade with noncaloric. Nice head. Hazy amber. Belgian aroma with hops strong enough to clear the sinuses and pepper once you can smell anything else. Very peppery flavour. Golden finish. Peppery aftertaste.

Jan 18, 2009 Can from Chad, thanks. Pours out an orangeish yellow color with a nice white head on it. Smell is fruity, earthy, and sweet. Pretty interesting smell, a little bit of hops too. Taste is smooth and refreshing, very easy to drink. This would be a great session beer for people who can get it. Very good stuff. I love beers in a can, and this one tastes incredibly fresh.

Jan 15, 2009 Wow - a Saison in a can! Notes of honey and clove, as well as the belgian yeast factor. This beer could use some bretts, but its all good. Pours amber golden in a proper tulip. Minimal white head. Lots of hop character in this one - it has lots of bitterness.

Jan 15, 2009 Big thanks to my bud Matt for sending. Flavorful beer that shows how Belgiany esters and big hops can get along well. However it may be a bit too heavy in the end to be very refreshing. Can pours clear orange-amber with quick-fading white head. Nose has notes of honey, clove, and oranges, the latter I think from both the yeast and hops. Has a juicy malt sweetness to balance a juicy hop bitterness, and they nearly form a harmonious whole. Nearly. Medium to full body, a bit sticky where I’d prefer it to be light, lively and dry. Some alcohol warmth in the finish. Still a really nice flavor, and I’m guessing this would be money on tap.

Jan 10, 2009 Pour: 16 oz can into a Duvel tulip. Bronzed goldenrod color with a lackluster white head. A little wet lacing.
Nose: Honey and diacetyl sweetness, pear, pepper, a tiny hint of stone fruit, and some grass.
Mouth: Very peachy flavor, but not the lush, dripping-with-fructose type of peachy. More like underripe, bruised, didn’t-ripen-on-the-vine peachy. Accents of black pepper and earth. Diacetyl is just barely apparent. Mouthfeel is pretty nice, although the carbonation is noticeably coarser than a real Belgian saison. Solid drinkability, but overall this beer is only decent.
