If ever there was a paradise on earth it must have been around the spice markets of the Fertile Crescent. Imagine if you will wandering balmy streets bathed in gold light while myriad pungent aromatics spin around you on warm breezes floating from groves of fruit and nut trees. Eden is a simple table friendly golden saison coaxed in the pepper heavy woody spice box direction of grains of paradise with heady wafts of jasmine lying atop. Drink Eden and cradle civilization.

Pours a medium golden with 1 inch light foam head. Fruity aroma. Tastes like a lighter version of Tank 7. Carbonation is light and effervescent and crisp. Very good, would buy a 4-pack.

On-tap @ Beef Trust Kitchen & Bar in Pompton Lakes, NJ.
Pale amber and cloudy, basically opaque, with a small white head. Rings of lace on the glass. Pleasant aroma of lemon and peppery spice. Light bready malts provide a sturdy base for the fruit and spice to work off of. The yeast and the grains of paradise provide a strong lemon and pepper flavor. Medium-light bodied, dry, and spicy.
The beer as whole is a bit one dimensional, really hammering home that fruit/spice combo but it totally works. Another strong offering from Carton. Quality saison. This one is a keeper.

No where does freshness equal greatness than in a saison. It may be a winter-made brew for spring's arrival, but (April is the cruelest month), what we breed out of the bad land and long winter is a harbinger of what's ahead.
Pleased to be 7th reviewer of this find, best of breed, saison, which I rate higher.
a) The home team freshness ( I bought the growler at Carton the brewer in my home town) works here with a cloudy, golden body that sports a finger of dense head that laces massively.
s) ample, fresh, sun-baked spice, herbs, coupled with bazaar flowers, yeast rising, subtle hop.
t) Mineral, sun-baked spice and herb, yeast, orchard rows, wet grass, spring triumphant.
f) Mineral and yeast, pizza crust, flinty, nice dry landing, great food beer.
o) Never have I appreciated freshness and the base water as much as in this Saison.

On tap at the brewery 5/12.
Partly hazy gold with a small white head. Clean citrus and yeasty nose and taste. Orange, lemon, grassy. Light mouthfeel, decent carbonation, well-balanced and very refreshing and drinkable.
Nice job, Carton.

32 oz growler into snifter. Hazy straw with small head, less carbonation than an ordinary saison. This is the ideal beer to sip on the back deck on a spring day. Very very drinkable, subtly hoppy, very well spiced with mild spices. Excellent saison.
