Poured from a 750 ml bottle that I have sat on for far too long. Aroma has a moderate malt note with some honey and caramel notes as well as grain and crackers. Moderate notes of red apple, over ripe pear and stone fruit with a bit of banana. Some light herbal phenolic notes. A moderate gusher, which I remember this doing when fresh too. Pours a hazy, fairly bright, orange color with a large, thick, fluffy, white head that shows great retention as it slowly recedes into itself. High lacing and no legs. Flavor is moderately to rather sweet with caramel and honey as well as some light grain and cracker notes. Moderate notes of red apple, pear and stone fruit with some light banana. Hints of phenolics with an herbal, grassy character and a medium light bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with high carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, an alright saison, but a bit plain. The age has really brought out the malt sweetness, but I think it has also helped to accentuate the fruity esters. Phenolics are light, clean and balanced. Overall, a clean saison with the sweetness of the malt reminding me more of a Belgian tripel.

Bottle shared at a private tasting. Pours a clear golden with fine floating particles. Medium sized fizzy white head, decent head retention. Aroma of rye bread, spicy hops. The taste is tart citrus, rye, bready malt, bubblegum. Medium bodied.

Bottle from the NHC Pours a relatively clear dark straw color with a huge fluffy white head that persists forever. The aroma is quite spicy with the tart rye malt mixing it up with the peppery yeast esters. Light sweet honey malts provide a hint of backbone with a few fleeting whiffs of orange and citrus fruits. The flavor is lightly sweet honey and sugary malts up front with a bit of and orange and lemon zest thing going on. Peppered rye bread comes in next and dominates the palette before a long lingering sweet and tart finish. Medium body with a moderate to high level of carbonation and a bubbly mouthfeel. Pretty nice saison, I actually think its improved a bit since I had it at the NHC, the rye was quite assertive then and now it seems to made mingled quite nicely.
