Tap at Barcade: Slightly hazy light golden with a wispy white head. Nice dry fruity aroma- some dusty phenols, cherry pit brett notes, earthy leather hints- nice and rustic. Has a fluffy body with a dry flavor. Earthy and rustic character with some peppery notes that mesh with a very mild bubblegum note (though not at all sweet). There’s an herbal hop bitterness accompanied by residual bretty mild funk. It’s rare that a U.S. interpretation of this style is nice and dry. I like the brett character in this one. Well done!

Dec 13, 2009 750mL bottle. Poured orange body. Aroma is citrus, orange, and something else sweet. Taste is citrus and sort of tart, but really good.

Dec 13, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear gold with a medium sized white head. Big spicy musky saison yeast, light wheat and citrus notes. Big citrus, with a hint of pineapple. Nice fine carbonation with a great mouthfeel. Musky yeast finish with a slow light bitterness.

Dec 4, 2009 From a 22oz bomber into a snifter. Pours with a TON of white pillowy (but strangely thin head which, over about 3 mins, dissipates into a thin layer. Mild lacing which remains in splotches on the glass. Aroma is of lemon and funk. Tastes is of lemon and pepper and a good deal of funk. Alcohol taste is not present. Mouthfeel is nice and smooth, in a light sort of way, but there is too much carbonation which detracts from the taste. Overall, I like this beer a lot. It also is priced well ($3.65, which is especially important because it’s only sold in bombers, which in my opinion are notoriously over priced. Kudos to Victory for brewing this one and for cutting the price from the $7.50 they charged for V-Saison (the predecessor to this beer). I think this will be my go to saison for the summer.

Dec 3, 2009 Pours a clear gold with a booming white head on the first pour, gets a little smattering of small particulates in the second pour. Peppery, slightly grassy aroma. Perhaps a touch of brett (not funky though). Crisp malt in the flavor backed by a balanced lingering mild bitterness. Tasty beer. Easy drinking, but not exactly exciting.

Nov 27, 2009 Clear golden pour with a fluffy head and nice carbonation streamers running up from the bottom of the glass. Aroma is spicey and peppery. Flavor is spicy, with black pepper, yeasty with a bit of musty funk. Finish is crisp with lingering pepper. Not a huge fan of this one as there is little depth. It is, however, a crisp, refreshing brew.
