Pour is a hazy yellow with a huge white head that grows after the pour is complete. Aroma is dough malt with creamy yeast and finishes with some citrus. Flavor is much more spicy and peppery than the aroma lets on. I also get some herbal hop with a big finish of white pepper. The was a very nice and flavorful low alcohol saison.

Draught at Lord Hobo, 9/27/15.
Very bright crayon/pencil yellow body shows a light haziness and a small, but fairly dense white head that sits at cover with plentiful carbonation apparent.
Hay, grass, lilacs and plentiful bread dough in the nose gains a touch of honeysuckle-like maltiness (mixing with the floral notes). Peppery phenols build on the finish, with minerals and more grass and hay. Esters, at least, are pretty tame, though there is a touch of peach and banana (but it’s very light). No alcohol and no flaws.
Sweet, sugar cookie-like malt notes up front make room for lilacs, black pepper and moderate fruitiness (starfruit, nectarine, peach). Some unwanted acidity, in concert with a rather heavy breadiness for its size shows up and kind of jumbles things, but it regains some crispness on the end with snappy spicey/herbal hop notes and a fairly tight carbonation. My first Prairie beer and it’s admittedly a bit underwhelming though perfectly serviceable. It’s like a blend of a bad, messy, pseudo-Belgian, American "farmhouse" beer and a really nice Belgian saison. If they could just remove the character of the former....

One of Prairie’s saisons brewed some place else. Clear, deep ’old gold’ colour with calm sparkling and irregular but dense, off-white, somewhat thin head but retaining well on the edges and in the form of small ’islands’ floating on the surface. Becomes a misty ochre with deposit. Pleasurable aroma of starfruit, melon, bubblegum, lemon zest, honey, young cheese, wild flowers, buttermilk, caramel, cider, bread crust, freshly cut grass, canned apricot, pineapple, sweet dessert wine. Nicely fruity onset, estery but still remaining quite ’clean’, sweetish with hints of sweet grapes, watermelon, unripe peach and green banana, soft carbo, very light salty touch for a brief moment, smooth, supple and lean body of caramelly malt sweetishness, spicy yeasty notes here and there and especially in the finish, where they match perfectly with a peppery, leafy hop bitterness, not harsh but gently and gradually drying and bittering the palate while juicy and fruity maltiness go down into the throat. Well rounded and balanced little saison, quenching at 4.5% ABV like the style was originally intended, but perhaps a bit too clean in comparison with most (traditional) Belgian saisons from the Hainaut province. Still, you can feel that this is carefully conceived and executed, and Prairie has already proven its feeling for farmhouse ales in previous products I tasted from them.

Bottle shared at home. Murky pale straw with big fizzy head that leaves a nice film. Light spicy yeast, some dough (I get some bread yeast besides the spicy yeast too), slight milk, nuts, straw, lemon. Light sweet and bitter. Under medium bodi9ed with quite some fizzy carbonation. Nice drinkable stuff, though it has some notes of milky dough with bread yeast that are closer to a witbier and don’t work too well for me here.

Bottle. Pours hazy yellow, with a big creamy head. Aroma is yeast with notes of wood and pepper, kandi and malty notes of doughy bread, as well as some farmyardy notes of grass, berries and earth. Medium to full body, with lively carbonation. Flavour is peppery yeast, with notes of wood and sugar, sweet malty notes of bread, cereals and honey, as well as some perfumey and rustic earthy notes. Quite sweet finish, and a tad too sweet to be tremendously quaffable. Still enjoyable.
