Aug 21, 2008 A universe of thanks to SoLan for sharing this brew. Pours a murky gold color and 1.5 fingernails of off-white head that holds retention well. A yeasty, dusty aroma; very reminiscent of a Saison. The taste is citrusy and wheaty--like a hefeweizen--subtle grassy hops, white bread, clove, and banana with a dry, peppery finish. This beer confused me as it shares the qualities of a Hefeweizen, Saison, and Belgian Strong all in one beer. Medium/high carbonation and medium body. A great brew.

Aug 12, 2008 Can: Pours a murky yellow/gold color with a rocky, white head. Notes of belgian yeast, bready malts, pepper, and floral hops are noted...flavor consists of sharp, floral hops, citrus, pepper-y accents, bread dough and a bit of barnyard. Medium-bodied and quite good overall.

Aug 12, 2008 Issued forth a bubbly straw gold with a medium off-white head. Aroma had fruity esters and light grassy hops. You definitely got the yeast notes of the classic Belgian saison, but none of the barnyard funkiness. Taste was fruity up front with a peppery finish. Definitely a different breed of saison, but nicely balanced and refreshing.

Aug 11, 2008 Poured pale golden color from the can. Aroma was peach with some belgian yeast fruit notes. Taste was started fruity, belgian yeast, then finished with earthy hops, pepper and a very dry finish. Really interesting beer. I enjoyed it.

Aug 4, 2008 Can, shared by yobdoog at BCTC on friday. Thanks Trevor! Nose is nice a yeasty with a fair amount of hop presence. Flavor similar; more yeast, hops, a bit of spices, pepper, and a mild sweetness.

Aug 2, 2008 Pretty good brew, on tap at the brewery. Sweet smell of fruits. A yellow-orange color with a small off white head. Flavors of malts, barley, yeast are balanced decently but doesn’t give it too much "mmm" factor. Smooth with a dry finish. Overall, decent but very impressed with the awesome aroma.

Jul 27, 2008 16 oz can from hellomynameis; Nose is sweet, apircots, and light belgian spices; urine yellow witha big yellow-tinged head; flavor has a little tartness, peppery spiciness, and alittle bitterness in the finish. Decent saison!
