| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 6, 2009 Bottle at GBBF ’09. Gold with a white head. The aroma of this beer appears to be all things to all men. To me it was vegetal, like a waste disposal unit blocked with potato peelings. Taste was chewy, sweet and delightfully beguiling. Some dryness. oh6gdx (9009), Vasa, Finland

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 22, 2009 Appearance: Pours out a deep golden body that would be clear were it not for a fine dusting of particles. Large, languishing, white head.
Smell: Earthy, leafy, florals blend into tart fruity notes and, finally, we reach some faintly grainy malts sprinkled over with ground pepper and golden syrup.
Taste: Lightly grainy pale malts with a distant hint of sourdough but more than a hint of simple syrup sweetness. Citrusy lemon, crisp apple, and tart pear fruitiness. Dash of fennel seeds and pepper. Lightly spicy, lightly leafy hops with a restrained level of bitterness. Mixture of sweetness, fruitiness, and spice until you reach the semi-dry, spiced finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium-plus carbonation.
Drinkability: A fairly good, fairly enjoyable stateside-brewed saison, though the body is heading towards being a bit too heavy for me. monkeychugg55 (241), Joliet, Illinois, USA

Poured a very hazy orange with a lively, tight, white head that hangs around a while. Aroma of yeast, bready malt, coriander, white grapes, citrus, and green apple. Tart flavor of green apple, banana, white grapes, mixed with earthy floral hops and bready malt. Mouthfeel is light and lively thanks to the carbonation, leaves a bit of a wet finish on the tongue. Nice and refreshing. curly (649), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
