From notes 4/29/13: Pours an opaque, bordering on clear, ochre producing a fizzy, dense, white, moderately lasting head that recedes into an island like cap of foam that leaves webs and streaks of lace. Aroma is a blend of yeast character including banana, clove, peach and pear; coriander, light biscuit malt and a subtle hint of sulfur. Taste is similar but sweet through mid-sip, finishing quite dry and lemony which becomes the primary component of the aftetaste. The aftertaste also has a faint hint of sulfur. Medium bodied, nicely carbonated and very easy to drink.

Thanks Willie. This was poured into a tulip. The appearance was a hazy burnt golden orange color with a half finger’s worth of sustaining white foaminess. Thin messy lacing roams all around the glass nicely. The aroma starts thick sweet bready/yeastiness with some sweet citrus pulp striding in nicely. Spices seem there but definitely stay in the background. The flavor brings in the sweet breadiness with the sweet citrus. Spices, still stay far in the background. Sly sweet bready/yeasty aftertaste. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionability about it. Carbonation feels pretty low in this. Overall, it’s a decent saison, nothing out of the park and may be a bit aged right now, not sure (lack of bolder spices makes me think that).

Here is another bottle courtesy of my local, in-person trader, Tone77, who brought this back from his southern foray. My thanks!
From the bottle: "Lazy Saison is a 'Southern cultivated' Belgian-style ale with a complex bouquet of floral and fruity aromas, a medium body, malted wheat flavors, and a welcomed crisp, dry finish on the palate. Do something lazy, you deserve it!"; "Pale Belgian Style Wheat Ale".
Having Pop!ped the cap, I gave it a moderately brisk pour since it was a wheat-based ale and some cloudiness was to be expected. I got two fingers of dense, rocky, French Vanilla-colored head for my efforts & it hang in nicely, slowly falling away to wisps. Color was a slightly hazy Golden-Amber (SRM = > 5, < 7). Nose had a slightly funky odor along with notes of black pepper and sweet, ripe fruits. Mouthfeel was medium with a good bit of carbonation. The taste was pleasant, not overly funky as some Saisons have been and the mild pepperiness went well with the sweet fruit esters to combine into a very quaffable beer. Finish was semi-dry, probably a combination of the spiciness and the yeast's action. It has been a chilly Spring here in the northeast, but this would do well on a hot, humid summer's day. Thanks again for the hook-up!

It has a very floral smell and pours a amber color. The taste is very pleasant with a hint of pear and spices. Overall it was very good and I will be having another one soon.

Looks good. Hazy, golden yellow with a nice sized head of foam. Smelled musty and muddled. Odd flavors - very yeaty with little of the saison spices you'd expect. Somewhat malty, too.

Wins award of Sweetest Saison in Existence. Tastes like the fermented trash in the dumpster of a Jamba Juice with Splenda added. It gives no fucks.

Aroma is lemons, spices/Belgian yeast and a sour twinge. The flavor is lemons, Belgian yeast, spices, malts, light citrus and mix of slight sweetness and tart in the finish.
