| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 28, 2009 Thanks sebletitje for the share. Pours an orange-gold with a white head. Nose is citrusy- orange, lemon, grapefruit, and tangerine. Flavor is similar with lemon and lime notes emerging. Very light, fizzy, and refreshing. Yeast plays a part in the drama, but does not dominate. Very easy-drinking saison. sebletitje (1999), Tampa, Florida, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 10, 2009 Translucent orange in appearance. It pured easily, and it poured well. This has a nice and fairly pungent fruity smell. Very carbonated beer. I am not a huge fan of very carbonated beer, but this is good and has a strong yeast and fruit tate. Nice texture, for this saison. I love that fruity and yeast aronga. Overall, this beer is really good. I enjoy the fruity and yeast taste, and I appreaciate that the carbonation was difficult to deal with. zach8270 (2136), Henrietta, New York, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 28, 2008 750 ml bottle in Duvel glass. Foamed over when opened. Pale orange with lasting head and lace. Spicy sweet fruity lemon aroma. Orange and honey and melon sweet strong fruitiness with mild tobacco bitterness. Medium body and not much interior carbo, perhaps because of foam over. Pretty good for an American saison. A little heavy in the body and slightly thick in the mouthfeel. Still good.
