At the brewery. classic style saison. moderately hopped. dry, some yeast, flowers and hops, and some cardboard, which was the only flaw I noticed.

Keg at the brewery taproom. Pours clear yellow with a frothy, pure white head. Expressive saison yeast aroma, some straw, hay, lemon rind. Light sweet flavour with some crispy grains, dry wheat, nips of grass, some melon, more rindy lemon, nice yeast, a little dough. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Nicely balanced finish. Good saison.

On tap at Diebolt, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out saison yeast, rustic farmhouse notes and some light fruity esters. Flavour is along the same lines, with rustic farmhouse notes, fruity esters and a little biscuity malt. Fairly dry, with a bit of an estery but fairly dry finish. Solidly made.

On tap at BruFrou Fest. Diebolt Saison voila 6.1% Clear gold, it’s got a musty tart fruity aroma. Light bodied, crisp palate cleansing mouthfeel. The taste is tart peaches and pears, wheat and light spice. Good.

On tap @ brewery. A touch hazy golden appearance with a white head and nice lacing. A lot of banana, pear, and white fruit in the nose, together with a spicy, champagne-like smell. Bubbly. Heavy banana and clove. A bit too sweet. Light bitterness. Not hard to drink but just OK in my book.

(Later batches of this have really cut down on the ester profile, the phenols shine a bit more, and the beer has dried out a bit - keep refining, boys) zy golden pour - nose is lightly phenolic (clove, pepper), lightly estery (banana), lightly sweet, lightly grainy - nice texture, tight carbonation - flavor is nicely rustic, but has a bit of yeastiness that dulls it - moderately spicy, with notes of white pepper - lightly sweet, approaching dry - some light clove and banana make this taste more like a spicy hefe at times - spicy, medium dry finish - has some kinks to work out, but a decent first attempt at the style by this new brewery.
