| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Nov 1, 2009 Swingtop liter bottle pours a murky light golden body with a small offwhite head. No lacing. Body is medium and barely carbonated, leading me to believe that maybe there was a problem with the seal. Taste is overly sweet, with caramel and honey notes sweeping away the subtle spice and herbal hop nuances. A hint of cinnamon in the finish. Sweet saisons just don’t do anything for me. illinismitty (1795), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jul 12, 2009 Bottle at Springslicker’s house. Pours a hazy amber with a dissipating rocky head. Aroma of sweet wheaty malts, burlap, and hay. Lighter side of medium bodied with nice natural mouthfeel. Flavor of toffee, wheat, fruity phenols, and butter. Almost Biere de Garde like. There was something odd (not in a bad way) about this that I can’t pinpoint. Oh well, it’s worth trying. phaleslu (469), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

Refreshing, very drinkable beer for outdoors/summer, and underrated in saison class. Rich golden color with light gold head. Various fruit flavors. JoeMcPhee (5000), Jackson Heights, New York, USA

Light spiciness and a touch of grapefruit as well. There is a bit of banana on the top as well. Quite sweet which is always a turn-off for these types of beers. shawnm213 (934), South Bend, Indiana, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 11, 2009 Got to try this at PPRBSG09. Pours a goldish orange in color. Aroma consists of some barnyard, grass funk , and earthiness along with bread. Flavor is somewhat floral with citrus, spice, honey and pineapple. Pineapple seems to really stand out in my opinion. yobdoog (1431), Woodridge NY, New York, USA
