Oct 28, 2009 22oz bomber. Pours very cloudy goldish-tan with a medium-thin head that disappears into *nothing* (not even little patches of bubbles on top - looks almost like fresh-pressed apple cider). The aroma is grassy and earthy from hops with a subtle touch of acidity and Belgian ester funk. The flavor starts dry with a light bready malt character and a strong ester-fruitiness and grassy hoppiness. At mid-palate, tasty yeasty esters combine with balancing earthy hop flavor and bitterness. Finishes dry with a light grainy malt character, interesting Belgian fermentation character (fruity, spicy, light acidity), and soft bitterness. The mouthfeel is brisk and highly-bubbled (despite its cidery appearance) with a medium body. Overall, not very pretty, but interesting with a refreshing complexity and drinkability, and very Belgian. Not bad at all.

Oct 24, 2009 Pours gold with a white ead. Smells of flowers, hay, dry malt. Tastes dry and lightly perfumy and spicy with a grasy finish. Enjoyable.

Sep 24, 2009 Bottle [22oz] shared with HogTownHarry & garthicus -- c/o HogTownHarry. Pours a nice looking, slightly hazy, golden-orange with a long-lasting frothy off-white head. Pleasant aroma is yeasty, spicy & fruity along with biscuity malt. Flavour’s not as good as the aroma, but still fine: Sweet with yeast, biscuity malt, some alcohol and spices. The finish is a bit iffy and slightly harsh. Average bodied. A good Saison, not great, but I’d drink it again.

Aug 31, 2009 Draft at Rattle N Hum. Pours a nice gold with a fluffy head. Nose is pretty standard, light plums & peaches, a touch of lemon. Pretty one dimensional. Taste is a little grainy, estery with banana & coriander. Light lemon on the finish, dry. Light, watery body. Okay.

Aug 22, 2009 On tap at a fabulous place for microbrews, Mad Mex in State College PA. I am really starting to enjoy beers of the saison style. This one was flat in appearance (no head), gold, a bit hazy. Had wheat character, wild, sour palate, some bananas, lots of cloves, very nice body with sticky aftertaste.

Aug 22, 2009 I have greatly enjoyed all the Weyerbacher beers I’ve had until this one. This beer was drinkable, but really boring. There just wasn’t really anything notable about it.
It poured a light orange color with a medium amount of head. Aroma was a little grassy, but pretty faint. Flavor was a touch cardboard-like, a bit cereal-y, and not at all funky nor even really remotely interesting. The cardboardiness may have been due to age, but I bought this bottle at Jungle Jim’s, who has a pretty brisk-moving beer section (there was no date code).
Pretty bland and only mildly offensive. It wasn’t awful, but I can’t come up with a reason to recommend this beer, so I won’t.
I picked up a bottle of this at Jungle Jim’s in the Cincinnati area.
