Draft at waterfront manhattan. Very good saison, not much of a cherry taste though. Pretty good.

aroma is bready and quite oaky, with next to no cherries. some nice hops in the flavour with more oak, really this is neither a cherry flavoured beer nor a saison. this beer to me is an oak aged belgian ale.

From Sept 2008
I got this bottle in a trade with jwc215. Thanks Joe!
This beer pours a bright and clear yellow gold with a small head of foam. The foam quickly disappears as does the lacing that I got early in the session. The last pour brought some hazy goodness which gets points for me but the way the foam disappears so quickly is a downer.
The smell has notes of vanilla, citrus, pretty strong cherry, some earthiness, and some alcohol.
The taste brings some good cherry flavour to the forefront with vanilla, earthy/bready malt tones and some citric tartness. Further into the session, I'm starting to notice a sweetness, from candy sugar?, that works pretty well with the other flavours. I also notice the alcohol as it's giving me some warming during and after the swallow. 1 bottle of this at a sitting will definitely do it for me.
The mouthfeel just creeps over into medium territory, the carbonation is on the light side, and it finishes with a slight bitterness and a very light horse blanket note.
Bottom line: This is a pretty tasty Saison but I think I'd prefer my Saisons without a particular fruit that dominates....it, for me, detracts from what I enjoy in the style.

22 ounce bottle into tulip, no bottling date. This could be pretty old since it is retired now. Pours extremely hazy orange amber color with a fairly dense 2 finger off white head with good retention; that reduces to a thin lacing cap that lasts. Fair amount of lacing clings to the glass as well. Aromas of big tart cherries, apple, lemon zest, grass, candi sugar, spices, bread, and a bit of funkiness as well. Surprisingly nice aromas with good strength and balance. I like my saisons funky. Taste of big bread, pepper, spices, banana, wood, candi sugar, cherry, and some tart graininess in the back. No bitterness; with lingering notes of tart cherry, pepper, bread, and spices on the finish for a bit. The wheat malt is definitely more noticeable on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a fairly creamy and slightly syrupy mouthfeel. Alcohol is well hidden with only a warming on the finish noticed. Fairly smooth drinking, but this is still quite a sipper. This is not cloying surprisingly, but i would have liked a better flavor balance. A little difficult to drink at times because of the flavor balance. Overall a fairly enjoyable saison, but it needed better flavor balance with a bit more cherry in the taste. Overall I say it was worth a try.

28/07/2011 1pt 6 Fl. Oz. bottle @ Klaas' place (2011-354) Thanks to Klaas for sharing the bottle!
Clear orange beer, small creamy head, unstable and adhesive. Aroma: very dirty first impression, stale and musty, some alcohol. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sour start, then rotten fruit, stale, like beer gone bad. Also bitter almonds (or the stone/pit of a peach if you want) are noticeable. Dry aftertaste with lots of sour notes and a chemical touch. An experiment gone bad, if you ask me.
