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.

Oct 17, 2008 Pours a hazy golden yellow with a clingy-lacing froth of white head. Aroma of sweet biscuity pale malts with some clove and banana esters. Body starts with good fullness and sweet maltiness balanced with a lightly peppery spice and some doughy Belgian yeasty character before a drier, crisp finish with some grassy floral hop bitterness. Pretty true to style and enjoyable with extreme drinkability.

Oct 6, 2008 Bottle. Pours with a heavy cloudiness, the color is soft orange, similar in appearance to witbier. Has a mild pepperiness on the tongue, some of your standard coriander, orange peel, white pepper, flower pedals, a little soap.... Belgian yeast character isn’t that clear. Body is hefty and chewy, further suggesting witbier with a chuncky sort of wheat character throughout. No noticeable flaws, well-made, but a bit boring. Still, pretty easy to enjoy.

Oct 3, 2008 Bottle from Capone’s. Pours very turbid gold with 1-finger white head. Nose is beautiful...a medley of heavy floral hops, spicy citrus, funky yeasty notes, and slightly tart apricotty fruit. Tastes dry, floral, citric, with hops, yeasty spice, and mild funky notes. The nose is better than the flavor or palate, and this one is very, very good for a domestic saison. Put this one on steroids and it could become as good as Scratch 4, and could become a world class saison.

Mar 28, 2009 Bottle from Captain Cougar. Love saison. Thanks a bunch Tom. Hazy orangey color with a spritely white head. Aroma of sour citrus and maybe funk. Near medium body with prickly carbonation. Flavor is a bit of grain, citrus, and I’d say clove. There’s peppery hot bits. Finishes dry and clean. Nice saison. Lovely ale.
