look: 3.5 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.25
Light amber, one finger of beautiful foam.
Lightly malty smell, a good hop, quite fresh.
Malty taste, light honey, relatively dry. And a grassy and floral hop.
Light to average body. Malt starting aftertaste, then a light floral hop.
Not bad, maybe not too fresh, but ok.

Pours a clear light amber with a 2 finger thick fluffy white head; a few rings on the glass. Smell: musty grain, floral. Sweet with apricot and herbal in the back. Taste: lots of semi-sweet and grainy pale/pils with notes of toasted grain and honey. Juicy peach with spicy and herbal hopping. Active pillowy carbonation. Finishes dry and slightly sticky with peach skin and a note of earth. Excellent!

Thanks to GRG1313 for sharing this one at his tasting.

Pours a hazy orange with a foamy bone head that settles to wisps of film on top of the beer. Small dots of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, grain, fruit, white grape juice, and spice aromas. Taste is much the same with white grape juice, spice, and yeast flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of spice bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer that is tasty and easy to drink.

Slightly sweet, rich flavored, and spicy beer. Hazy light amber in the wine glass. Long lasting head and quite spritzy to the last half glass. Rather fruity with hints of pineapple along with a spicy bitter tang. Medium body. Quite yeasty-- you would not call it "crisp." Mouth-filling with a touch of caramel along with the tangy flavors.

This whole style is quite interesting and I would benefit from tasting more examples. Richer than most Saisons but has a family resemblance with the Belgian yeast flavors and touch of acidity.
