Courtesy of JPDurden24. 16oz can pours up with a clear copper body with gold edges that supports an off white head of foam. The aroma offers up earthy grapefruit peel, orange wedges, mild tartness and a faint funkiness in the background. The taste is similar with smooth sweaty vinegar, mild tartness, a bit more vinegar to midway and then a mix of grapefruit and lime notes into the finish. Tasty stuff.

Courtesy of JPDurden24. I dig the novelty of a 9% saison in a 16oz can, that is cool. The can pours up with a clear deep gold body that supports a thin off white head of foam. The aroma delivers up some earthy notes, spicy saison yeast, sweet apple like esters and a bit of lemon nuanced vinegar. The taste turned out to be similar and pulls together saison yeast spices, sweet apple and somewhat pear like fruity esters and then a mild vinegar note that holds this whole thing together.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, 2018 vintage canning. Pours crystal clear golden orange color with a 1 finger fairly dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings to the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big lemon, orange, pear, apricot, red apple, honey, peppercorn, clove, biscuit, white bread dough, light banana, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, honey, earthy hops, and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big lemon, orange, pear, apricot, red apple, honey, peppercorn, clove, biscuit, white bread dough, light banana, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate herbal/grassy bitterness and peppery yeast spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, orange, pear, apricot, red apple, honey, peppercorn, clove, biscuit, white bread dough, light banana, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, honey, earthy hops, and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance; and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitter/spiciness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly crisp balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is a very nice Biere de Garde style. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, honey, earthy hops, and bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/spicy/drying finish. Great balance of French saison yeast, MI Honey/Hops, and bready Munich malts. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

Pour from can. Hazy, fuzzy appearance. Fizzy on the palate, but refreshing. Simple, tangy, not spicy or complex.

Pour from can. Tastes sweet, grassy. Mellow on the hops. Smooth and fruity finish.

On tap at the Shark Club in Howell, MI. Golden pour with a white head. Mild aroma, where mineral scents dominate with hints at yeast. Yeasty clove flavor with a slight citrus. The yeast flavor is nice, but it’s definitely missing a malt presence that would help to complete it.

Sample at the DBLDP on 09/02/2012: This brew pours a clear dark amber color with a medium light beige head that dissipates quickly. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of malt and dark fruit. Medium body with flavors of caramel malt, ripe fruit and yeast. The finish is sweet with an earthy malt aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

16 ounce can courtesy of northernbrews. Thanks! Pours a clear dark amber color with a large frothy tan head. Good head retention. Aroma of maple, soy, caramel, wood and dark fruits. The taste is caramel, treacle, anise, herbal notes. Medium bodied, lingering bitterness, low carbonation. Weird beer, and I’m not quite sure whether or not I like it.
