A golden amber saison with a thin off white head. In aroma, a sweet fruity spiced malt with cardamom, catnip, a bit off. In mouth, a nice smooth peppery malt, with lemon grassy, chamomile, interesting. Bottle bought at Steamworks Wine Store. Tasted with the Bartowel crew at Pushkinwow’s, March 23, 2012.

Clear amber color, small steady beige head, lace. Aroma has caramel and nutty maltyness and citrusy hops. Medium-bodied. Lemony-citrusy front, then caramel and some fruity notes. Light acidic taste in the aftertaste.

Pours with a clear medium amber body and a bit of head on top, nice aroma of malt, grass, and hay like a bière de garde. Taste is sweet malt with grass hints; this could easily be from France. And that’s a compliment.

Deep golden color. Fairly pepper, earthy and estery, but not as funky as a true Saison. Decent balance, refreshing and enjoyable, but not overly complex. Good enough, but not outstanding or 100% to style.

Light amber color. Light caramel aroma. Caramel flavor, but quite weak and dry, and the bitterness is almost disturbing, too long hop infusion?

Orangey-amber. Thin head. The aroma is malt-accented and lightly spicy with caramels and white pepper. Caramel, earthy, light pepper and coriander on the tongue. Well-balanced. A subtle beer - not saison but tasty anyway.

Bottle. Anise and mint aroma. Cloudy golden, lacing head. Fresh fruity base, citrus, spices. Velvety light sparkly mouthfeel. Medium body. Really quite satisfying.

Bottle: Poured a clear golden color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of Belgian malt with fruity ester and light barnyard notes. Taste is not as funky as expected but notes of light barnyard and fruity ester are nice but fall a bit short from some of the style best offering. Body is about average with good carbonation. Well done but unfortunately lacking some character.
