Jun 28, 2008 i often think that hennepin is the poor man’s saison dupont, but this falls somewhere in between the two, it is able to pick up on some of the micro subtleties that hennepin seems to miss out on (and i love hennepin!). seeing 750s of anything by victory caught my eye, and the opportunity to try their saison was not something to be passed on, and it was no disappointment!

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 14, 2008 Pours a straw yellow color with a sopay white head. Aroma of lemons and yeast. Taste is complex-lemony zest with yeast and some tartness. Dry finish. Very nice.

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.
