Bottle @ Darkness Day 2012 shared with friends and a couple of dirty hippies. A bit hazy, pretty bright golden appearance with an off white head. A bit spicy, straw, light lemon citrusy, a bit herbal aroma. Mild barnyard, somewhat spicy, lemon citrusy flavor. Not a bad brew and I’m looking forward to having more of their stuff in the future.

Enjoyed at home. 750ML in a HFS tulip at 65 Degrees F. Pours a gorgesous bright clear yellow. Huge solid white carbonation that starts big and fades to a finger and sticks around with a huge amount of bubbles. Smell is full of honey and grapes with wheat and french bread. Taste is Unique. Sort of boring bland chewy wheat taste followed by a very dry grape skin taste, honey and spices.

Bottle @ B.R.A.D. Fest, courtesy of jcnielsen. Possibly infected, super bubbly head. Pours a brown appearance with a huge brown head. Spicy, toasted coffee, light chocolate, a touch fruity aroma. Slightly burnt, light chocolate, lightly roasted coffee, a bit friuty flavor. Way overcarbonated but I don’t think it’s infected.

Aromas are of currants, sour fruit, chocolate, ash, burnt newspaper mostly. Some light barrel and vanilla character. Lightly toasted. Flavors are roasty, barrel, nutty, ashy, toasted. Lots of barrel character. Light acidity. Fuller than expected carbonation and a drier than expected finish. Low tannin.

750 ml bottle. Pours a hazy straw color with lots of fizzy head and aromas of lemons and tropical fruit with a little light spice and grass. Flavor is heavy with light fruit notes... Apricot, lemon and under ripened peaches with a bit of coriander and grass. A little bit of a buttery edge is present early in the bottle, but it disappears or I became disabused to it toward the end. This is another very pleasant Saison and now I an off to slay even more unicorns...

750 ml bottle that lets loose with a hiss and pours a dingy straw color with a thin white head. Aromas are a little grassy with some spice (coriander and white pepper?) a little lemon and some honey. Flavor is a nice mix of lemon peel tartness and some grass and honey. It’s pretty dry but some sugar does come through to balance the tart edges.

750ml bottle poured into a tulip. Pours a clear gold with about 2 fingers of white head. Aroma is mostly spicy yeast. Taste is about the same. Light bodied with a thin texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, very good. I would gladly drink it again.

Rerated a couple years later... So this is a nice clear orange with a smaller head than I remember and aromas of... oh... heavens... sweet citrus and tropical fruit in an explosion of happiness, maybe a little more robust than before. Flavor is also much better... the hops presence matches the nose and it comes through clean and crisp with loads of passionfruit, mango and oranges. Malt is smooth and clean with a bit of honey and way less of the awkward caramel before. This is a must have if you are an IPA fan!
Original rating: 750 that releases a lovely orange beer with a big sudsy head. Aromas are mostly citrusy with lots of orange and lemon notes and a little passion fruit and mango. I’d like a bit more fullness to the nose, but that’s my preference. Flavor is a nice mix of hop bitterness up front... Mostly resin, but a little citrus... with a caramely grain sweetness mid-palate and a orange and mango finish. It’s pretty decently put together and there are not really any rough edges, but if I were in charge of the universe there would be a little less caramel to the malt presence to knock the sugars down a bit...
