6 oz draft pour at the brew pub in Lawrence, Kansas. Pour is a golden orange, mostly clear, with a white head. Aroma is sweet flower, grain, lemon citrus and a touch of honey sweetness. Taste starts of with a big sweetness - honey floral, some additional flowery dandelion, sweet orange fruit, and a touch of citrus peel buried under the sweet. Palate is medium bodied, slick mouth feel, and a long sweet grassy finish. This is well built, though too sweet for my personal preference.

Has it a few times at the brewpub. Imperial Saison it is. Sweet malt backbone and strong esters overtake what would be too much hoppiness for a Belgian to start with. Fruitiness from hops with mango and tropical esters explode in the aftertaste as well. Good in small doses, good thing I enjoy sweet Belgiany brews but I could see others hating this.

On tap at the brewpub. Poured a clear fruit like gold with a white head that dissipated to the edges slowly. Aroma was full of floral notes with a bit o light fruits and a slight backing of sweet grains and yeast. Flavor is sweet with flora and light fruits with a hint of grass and backing grain that come out in the finish.
