App: Pours from a very unique 16.9 oz champagne shaped bottle a fairly clear orange-straw color. Nice 1-finger head and subtle retention.

Aroma: Not much spice here. Mostly phenolic fruit followed by alcohol. Some weird peppermint notes down below, layered by wheat and grass smells. Overall quite a light nose. Nice saison yeast characteristics as it warms.

Taste: Fruity up front with apple and light flavors on the tongue. Overall too much fruit. Phenolic middle that's a bit light followed by a spicy, slightly hoppy finish. Not enough spicy yeast flavors and too much fruit.

Mouth: Too big. The body is mid to large, almost too full or syrupy. Carb is nice, good fine bubbles with fullness in the mouth.

Drink: Not bad but not quite as refreshing as would like.

Poured into a Riedel tulip. The pour kicks up a pretty ridiculous fluffy near-white head. The liquid is a cloudy pale orange with lots of bubbles.

Aroma is super fruity - lots of citrus, dried lemons, cardamom, etc. Classic saison aroma with some extra citrus.

Taste is cardamom, lemons, bread, and lots of other little flavors that I can't really identify. Nice and complex. Aftertaste is slightly funky, with bread and citrus coming out some more.

Mouthfeel is wonderfully soft and light-bodied, with tons of carbonation.

Overall, really great saison - nothing radically departing from classic saison attributes, but executed perfectly!

My wife sure knows how to pick 'em. Served in a snifter on Mother's Day.

A: A cloudy golden. Very little head. Light lacing. Lots of sediment in the bottom of the glass.

S: Apricots, Belgian yeast. A bit of cloves and banana.

T: Fruity. Mangos. A beer/champagne hybrid. Sparkling. Yeasty. A tad sour. A dry, hoppy finish. The longer it sits, the smoother the taste.

M: Light to medium with low carbonation.

O: A rustic, old world taste; like a real ale. Glad I saved it for a nice occasion.

A - Pours a golden orange with a 2 finger white head. No real lacing and the head dissipated quickly.

S - Pears, green grapes and may'be some bready/malty characteristics.

T - It's sweet and tart at the same time. Think citrus fruits along with lemon tartness. Nothing really dominates as it's a great meddling of flavors.

M - Light body along with light carbonation. It's effervescent and dry.

O - This bottle must have been stored properly because it seems to be peaking. I could see how another 6-12mths could push this one past its prime. It's very enjoyable if you love a citrusy, almost funky saison that borders on the sweet side.

Served in a stemless globe.

Thanks to hannydawg for sharing this bottle!

Sure, it's been a few years, but we'll see how this stuff is doing regardless. It pours a cloudy golden amber topped by a finger of off-white foam. The nose comprises dry wheat, light horse-blanket-y funk, clove, banana peel, light orange peel, and light cardamom. The taste brings in more of the same, along with an extra sprinkling of cinnamon. A nice touch. The body is a light medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a dry finish. Overall, a surprisingly solid saison, one I wouldn't mind revisiting again just to see if it continues to come up strong.

Review from notes

Poured a murky orange with 2.5 fingers of white soapy head that receded down to a thin layer. This beer was a lot more opaque than I was anticipating...

Smells very enticing! Great notes of tropical fruit and maybe a hint of peach with some musty barnyard funk and a solid belgian yeast backbone. Somehow it still smells better... but in a good way

Tropical must barnyard fruit with a very delicious Belgian yeast aftertaste. A little on the sweet side, but still tasty.

Medium to light body with just the right amount of carbonation. Drying aftertaste

Overall, a very tasty beer. Lacked some bitterness in my opinion but it hit the nail on the head in all the other areas. Great beer to celebrate 25 years
