Growler at the Grand Tasting during 2008 RBSG. This saison pours a medium orange gold color from a fresh growler. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is fruity and sweet, touch of grapes. A medium bodied saison. The malts are fruity and sweet. The hops are earthy and floral. Touches of grape tannins, skins and seeds? Crisp and clean. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

From a Growler. Deep orange with a decent head. Aromas of sweet malt and some bright fruits. Flavors were similar with touches of sweet bread and more fruit. Good stuff. I love Valley Brew.

Draft, courtesy of KrausenJockey. Thanks!! Pours a slightly hazy, honey-orange color; white head with fine-bubbled lacing. Solid amounts of honey, malty sweetness, and white grapes in the aroma; sweet and vinous. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: chewy honey, white wine (very mild tartness) and intricate malty sweetness and yeast; really nice, restrained sweetness and wine grape character. Very drinkable stuff. Lengthy finish: toasty malts, honey, and wet malt goodness.

On tap at Stone. Bright and light in color. Very light head. The aroma is of spices. The flavor was wide in the mouth. It filled it but not full tasting. Laterally on the tongue. Complex and sharp with the spice flavor. Licorice.

On-tap at Stone. Pors light amber with a moderate, fizzy white head, specks of lace. Smells like grapes with some light wheaty malts and slight yeast. Tastes much more balanced than it smells. Sweet grapes with a pretty complex malt profile, cereal and wheaty, dry and crisp. Pretty nice, hard to drink a pint though. Medium body, fizzy carbonation.
