Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from Leary’s Fine Wines. Aroma is nice fruity esters, clove, some bubblegum. Appearance is hazy, pale yellow with greenish tinge, attractive mild sparkle, finger width foamy white head with fair retention and nice sudsy lacing. Taste is strong fruity ester sweetness. Palate is medium bodied with sticky texture and lively to fizzy carbonation (kind of stings--a bit too much) that dominates the taste/palate experience, dry finish. Overall, pretty true to style without a lot of nuance.

12 oz. bottle. Slightly hazy yellow color, thin soapy head. Aroma is mild yeast that gives traces of clove, banana and mild floral hints.

Flavor is weak clove and Belgian yeast that gives of the same banana and flower notes. Lighter body with a mild yeast ester finish. Easy to drink although I would call this a saison be any sense of the imagination. It’s a standard Belgian blond. But the brewer calls it a saison…. I’m not going to fight the labeling. Drying texture with a light body. Ok, OK, it’s borderline a saison. But not in a traditional sense.

Pours gold into a tulip. Bright white head with good retention recedes to skim surface. Summer fruit and resin aromas. Soft with sweet peach skin and meadow upfront turning to a dry yeast and mild bitter earth finish.
