Jan 7, 2009 Bottle. Pours a cloudy light yellow with a thick white head. Aroma of funk, yeast, clove. Kind of reminds me of Hennepin in the nose. Flavor is loaded with peppery spices and yeast. Extremely quaffable. Excellent saison.

Jan 7, 2009 Sampled at tronraner’s Xmas Eve^3 tasting. Pours a clear light yellow with thin white head. Light citrus lemon aroma with some pepper spiciness, but not much. Flavor is bitter citrus and some grassiness. Moderate carbonation. I’m not a huge fan of this style, and this beer in particular didn’t really do it for me either.

Jan 3, 2009 Medium sized white head, retention is good with decent lacing. Clear, gold color. Nose full of creamed corn and faint wit like spiceyness. Light bodied and coating on the palate. Lightly sweet malt flavors, corn and some coriander notes. Lightly sweet finish. Yak. WTF was that? Haha, Saison!? Stop it wouldya.

Dec 30, 2008 12 oz bottle thanks to CaptainCougar! Pours a mostly clear at first hayish golden with a nice thin foamy white head with some lace- then gets some wierd dirty floaty yeasties in suspension which I dont usually like. Aroma at first is somewhat dupont-ish with some lemon zest, citrus, a bit of dough and some orange cleanser then gets a bit more phenolic, some vanilla and even some fruity esters. Flavor is a nice straight up belgian ale but not really in the saison character- more leaning towards a doughy and fruity tripel character- ok sweetness in the midpalate, with a lot of fresh bread and dough which was ok, some earthy and leathery pepperyness, more phenolics and some orange zest combining with a somewhat dry finish. Looking at the description I can tell the Chouffe has taken most of the control of this beer.

Dec 30, 2008 Bottle... Cloudy, pale yellow ale with a small, fizzy, white head. Decent retention. Yeasty, estery, phenolic aroma - banana, pear, clove and lemon peel. Medium-bodied and lightly creamy with lively carbonation. Sweet, fruity and spicy. Mild bitterness provides proper balance. Lengthy, spicy, gently bitter finish.

Dec 26, 2008 Bottle, much thanks to CharlesDarwin, shared at Xmas Eve Eve Eve. Pours pale yellow with pretty white head. The aroma is light lemon and banana, sweet bread. The flavor is tart lemongrass, rye bread, cellar must, coriander, and a clean malty finish. Good stuff.
