Mar 17, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear golden with a large white head that fades leaving minimal lacing. Aroma of spicy & earthy hops, citrus, black pepper, and yeast. Taste is the same as aroma with a hint of sweet malt. Medium mouthfeel with a mild to moderate amount of biterness and a spicy dry litghtly tart finish. A very well done Saison.

Mar 9, 2008 750ml bottle. Very similar to Lost Abbey Canivale but perhaps a bit more robust? Poured a lightly hazed glowing orange with a good sized off white head that yielded nice lacing. very fruity and doughy on the nose.

Mar 5, 2008 750 mL bottle rating. Hazy orange body beneath an average white head which diminishes into a ring around the goblet I poured this into. Aroma is classic saison. Fruitiness with a tart note. Flavor exhibits the tartness but balanced with a sweet sugary flavor which kind of makes it different than many saisons. I like this. Certainly nothing mind blowing here, but an interesting take on the style.

Feb 29, 2008 750 ml bottle from Bev4less in Santee. Pours a slightly cloudy amber-gold color with a sudsy white head. This head quickly recedes to a thin film and leaves no lacing. The aroma suggests that this is a wit, or a hefe, with a banana nod and a bit of cloves. The flavors, like the aroma, tend more toward the wit and hefe characteristics; the flavors start with a banana presence, develop into a clove spiciness, and then finish with a lingering ripe banana aftertaste. The mouthfeel starts thin and then develops into a slick diacetyl buttery effect. Overall: I know that every Saison can’t can’t taste like a Dupont, but the fact that so few do must attest to the difficulty of making this style. Still I appreciate this effort, I will consider this as a pairing the next time I make poultry or fish. Recommended.

Feb 25, 2008 Cloudy gold color and well carbonated with lots of foam. Yeast and fruit aroma with spice. Flavor is sweet for the style. Some spice and malt, and more yeast. Good, if not a world class saison.

Feb 22, 2008 Sampled during Cellar’s Wine & Spirits beer tasting evening in St Paul, Minnesota. From 22-oz bomber pours a hazy golden pale brew with a thick fizzy white head that has excellent retention and lacing. Aroma of heavy yeast and banana esters with some additional white bread dough and some barnyard funk. Taste is medium bodied, plenty of carbonation with flavors of yeast, multi-grain malt, some wheat, banana esters and a touch of bubble gum. Finish is semi-sweet, golden grain malt with wheat with a light wax texture.
