Oct 17, 2007 Can shared with and courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a hazy orange-amber with an average size somewhat-lasting creamy off-white head. Very nice aroma of yeast, lots of fruit (peaches and more), honey, pepper and other spices -- quite impressive really. Flavour’s yeasty and spicy along with some fruit and honey to sweeten it and has a big bitter finish. HogTownHarry mentions "almost a charred linger" and I’m getting that as well. Medium bodied plus. I’m not the biggest Saison fan but I love this! Surly never disappoints.

Oct 12, 2007 Hazy and smells great. Very fizzy, kind of dry. The taste left me somewhat disappointed, I was expecting more coriander flavor. It’s a good beer, but for the price Surly runs, I would rather grab a delirum tremens or something.

Oct 10, 2007 Can (16oz). Shared with blankboy, my can courtesy of Oakbluff. Saison in a can - well why the hell not. Hazy medium-deep amber pour with a large lasting creamy-frothy beige head. Well, smells like a saison - very yeasty, light herbal hops, almost hefeweizen fruit sweetness, I detected a bit of banana bread in there. The taste is solid heavy yeast saison, so much yeast and spice it’s quite pungently bitter, lots of very heavily roasted malt backing it up, and not much fruit - almost a charred linger. Thick body, very astringent with the spice, long raw spice (cinnamon? nutmeg? allspice?) bitter finish. Damn that’s good.
