Reviewed from notes. Bottle grabbed as I left the brewery back in June of 2013.
The appearance was a clear orange/amber body with a one finger white foamy head, some light lacing but slides down into the body.
The smell had a slightly tart/spicy/floral all combined nicely and leaving a sort of herbal-ness to it.
The taste had a mostly the same with some citrusy/malty thing goin’ on, tart aftertaste and a dry finish.
The palate had a light to medium in body, came across somewhat sessionable. Carbonation is adequately felt for the style and for me.
Overall, for me, I probably had this a bit too late as it aged to the normal \"tart\" saison, just me, but I’d rather have this fresh, however I say still good, seek it if you’re in the Metro Detroit area.

12oz bottle courtesy of 15_2_Kuhnhenn. It pours with a clear copper body and gold edges supporting a near white head of foam. The aroma has a bouquet of spicy Belgian yeast, smooth full herbal sage nuanced by sweet maltiness and some honey like notes. The taste is bold and bright with Belgian yeasty spiciness and bold sage herb notes flowing into a light citrus sensation. With all of this richness this fits right in as an enjoyable sipper.

Bottle - thanks cocoapuph! Pours hazy amber with a large off-white puffy slowly dissipating head that leaves good, if clumpy, lacing. Aroma is herbal pepper yeast. Flavor is the same, light sweet, some lemon, spicy, a bit of a bite. Medium body, overcarbed and feels like it in the mouth. A bit hot.

12 ounce bottle into signature tulip glass, bottled on 11/21/2012. Pours hazy golden amber color with a nice 2-3 finger foamy white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with plenty of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big pear, apple, grape, clove, pepper, sage, orange zest, grass, floral, light funk, and earthy yeast spiciness. Damn nice aromas with great balance of spicy/earthy yeast esters with fruitiness and spicing; with good complexity. Taste of pear, apple, grape, orange zest, pepper, clove, sage, grass, floral, light funk, and earthy yeast spiciness. Lingering notes of light fruits, pepper, clove, sage, grass, floral, and earthy spiciness on the finish for a bit. Very nice balance and complexity of fruity/spicy esters with moderate herbal spicing notes; and zero cloying flavors present after the finish. Very high carbonation and medium bodied; with a very smooth, prickly, and crisp mouthfeel that is very nice. Finish is moderately dry due to carbonation, but still flavorful. Alcohol is very well hidden with hardly any warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a damn nice spiced saison. All around well balanced fruity/spicy esters with herbal spices; and very smooth and crisp to sip on. A very enjoyable offering.
