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.

aroma is subtle peach, bready malts and a touch of yeast. some general spiciness begins to creep in. appearance is very hazy apricoti with wispy head. flavor is peppery with some yeast and good balance of strong breads and some hops with slightly vegetal note. ends bitter with coating mouthfeel, a bit messy.

This poured a slightly cloudy yellow color with a big white head. Aroma was peppery, some belgian spice, bittering hops, light fruit, and some sweetness too. Flavor was very sweet, with balancing from grassy hops, and the belgian spice character. Pretty interesting and different stuff.

Pours a hazy yellow w/ small white head. Aroma of earthy hops, fruity and cereal grains. Great taste...wish I wouldn’t have read the description before I rated it so my rating would be more objective, but the brewery’s description is spot on: peppery notes mixed with apricot & peach. Actually reminds me of a peach flavored chardonnay I’ve had only less sweet. Dry finish, lingering peach on the palate. Only negative would be a bit of an astrigent aftertaste. This is only the second or third Saison I’ve had and this is the best...It really does taste a lot like the others I’ve tried (dry, fruity, yeasty, medium body)...an interesting style of beer.

Bottle shared by JoeTheYounger.. Pours golden orange with no head...Aroma is slightly spicy with some citrus...Flavor is spicy with pepper... Lots of carbonation... Just a tad too peppery.

RBSG 07. On tap at Surly. Lightly hazy gold, small dense white head. Estery, spicy, light colored fruits, little bit of wheat, very light mustiness, crisp graininess, mild tartness, floral and bitter hops on the drier finish. Very easy, could drink it all day. Send cans to FL, please. From notes.

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.
