Schroppfy (1733), Ohio, USA Apr 12, 2008 Good but really too spiced for my comfort. Not just coriander, but an almost flowery lavender and also something sharp (grains of paradise?), and I don’t like lavender. Still, drinkable enough and in great condition, and with a nice cottony sweetness. Handbottled very well thanks to hophead75.
adrian910ss (1032), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 30, 2008 On draft at the Chestnut Street location. Pours a hazy golden caramel with a medium white head. Aroma of peppery hops Taste is peppery with tangy citrus undertones.
lemasney (299), Trenton, New Jersey, USA Apr 14, 2008 Moderate malt flavors, very nutty. Hops are heavy, flowery and purfumed - resinous, grapefruit and pine flavors. Moderately yeasty - very spice driven. Banana grape and apple - very fruity and sweet. Nutmeg and clove make an appearance. small off white head is mostly diminishing. Medium amber, orange red hues. Moderately sweet, heavily acidic, and slightly bitter. Well balanced and a bit acetic. A long duration. dry, creamy, syrupy body is medium to full. Lively carbonation. It’s delicious, spicy, fruity and deep. hophead75 (1680), Boonton, New Jersey, USA Apr 2, 2008 on tap in Princeton- hazy dark orange/light amber in color with a small off white head. Aroma: alot of spice: ginger, coriander; some light belgian yeast and some notes of pale malt sweetness. Taste is caramel, some biscuity malt with alot of spice and touch of yeast esters. Some earthy hops in the finish Not bad as a straight up spiced ale; but not good as a saison- actually nothing like a saison. I am not sure what Tom was going for on this one when he brewed it. chimp_lechamp (372), freehold, New Jersey, USA Mar 27, 2008 Thick spicy nose, cloves, pepper, quite dense.pours brown orange thin head very cloudy. loads of spice taste is overpoweringly spicy even for a saison not giving any barnyardy flavours that i was hoping for.
