Jun 17, 2008 Appealing orange color with good carbonation and head. Enjoyable aroma, albeit hard to pin down, but with essence of caramel banana. Flavor is light caramel malt. Perilously drinkable, but would never call this a "saison."

Jun 6, 2008 Updated: May 3, 20092005 bottle at Butters Big Blowout. Clearish yellow with slight chill-haze and bubbly white head. Citrus nose and massively bready. Farmhouse flavors aren’t overpowering and is suprisingly balanced. Nice and thin refreshing body with big carbonation. Decent, not overly tart, finish.

May 25, 2008 750 ml bottle. An enjoyable beer, but is sweeter than classic saisons. Average frothy, white, diminishing head above a dark yellow, cloudy body. Aroma has notes of grain, hay, cobweb, banana and clove with a lighter note of pear. The flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly bitter and moderately acidic. Medium body with a watery texture that turns creamy. Lively carbonation. Nice.

May 23, 2008 750ml corked & caged bottle: Brilliant golden pour with a rim clinging white head. This is pretty hoppy for the style, offering lots of citrus and perfume up front in the body and nose. The body dries nicely as esthery notes bombard the tongue. Pears, apricot and sweet oranges mix well with the moderate dose of honeyed malt. Finishes dry with a peppery alcohol burn. Nicely done.

May 5, 2008 Bottle, 750 ml. Hazy particulate yellow, with a diminishing white head. Good lacing. Sour aroma, but complex on the palate with a salty, sweet, and sour all in one drink. Dry finish. My first saison, so I have nothing to compare it to, but I look forward to drinking more of thi style.

Apr 27, 2008 750 ml bottle shared with Friends at Boxers Cafe, Huntingdon: Aroma was full and rustic featuring spices and perhaps even some wild things. poured slightly hazy gold with ample carbonation and 2 fingers of head that disipated, partially becaue I think the glass needed to be cleaned better. Flavor was full on spices, cumin and ginger with a bit of smokiness and a citrus snap. Addictingly dry. bubbly mouthfeel. refreshing but the spices were maybe a little overdone, and I couldn’t get into the smokiness in a saison.
