Golden-amber colour. Thin head. Earthy hop nose, and it has a nice toasty malt note. The hops are earthy through the palate as well - the brightness of the mosaic doesn’t really come through, just unexciting cascades.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Light amber color, clean, with creamy head.Clean beer, but very much old style; the malts are chewy even if the mouthfeel is rather dry, the csramel accent is too strong, and the hops, rather than bright, are very earthy, almost stale. Not a bad beer, but not the beer I want to drink.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Clean golden color, almost no head. Lean abd very dry mouthfeel, somehow weak, with a strong bready character, hint of coriander, but nothing close to a Saison. At least it’s not estery or cloying like most American interpretations. Ok beer, boring at best.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out fruity esters, saison yeast and light floral notes. Flavour is dry, with saison yeast, floral notes and fruity esters. It's fairly dry but the yeast expression isn't very authentic. They need to take a lesson by trying Saison Dupont. Not impressive.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a clear copper with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out light piney hops and some dry biscuity malt. Flavour is well-balanced, with potent piney hops, some resins and dry biscuity malt. Piney and dry, with good balance. Very good.
