Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours orange yellow with a fluffy white head. Smells of raspberries, not overly powerful, but dominates the aroma. Tastes of raspberry with sweet grain and slight apricot. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a very good beer.

LOOK - a beautiful rose/reddish brown and very hazy - lots of foam and great retention - soap-like foam sticks to the outside of the glass - activity is nice

SMELL - Strong Raspberry and some herbal / spice notes - not hop aroma to speak of - Belgian yeast is apparent - red wine wafts up

TASTE - tart / dry red wine with a touch of malt and bread - raspberries blast in full force as it sweetens just for a moment - ample amounts of wheat, hay, and grass come in and the beer dries out - plenty of spice and Belgian yeast in there - slight metallic tinge as well

FEEL - medium bodied - pretty slick and oily - carbonation sticks around throughout so it never flattens - stays interesting

OVERALL - I bought this as a 12oz single, but I would defintely pick up a 750ml of this one - I really enjoyed this as it was pretty complex and not just overpowering raspberry - I don't understand the low ratings for this one - there are a lot of flavors to enjoy here - this won't be the last time I pick one of these up

A thanks to the captain of the canquest, woodychandler, for this beer. Poured from a 12 oz. can. This beer came oozing out of the can, resulting in a golden/pinkish color with a 3 inch head and a small mess on my leg. Smell is dominated by raspberries. Taste is funky, hay, raspberries, slightly sour, alcohol is prevalent throughout. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a mediocre beer.

From 12 ounce can bought at Liquor Shed.

Pours a reddish gold, oodles of foam, plenty of sticky lacing.

Smells of raspberry, wheat, hint of cloves but that's buried deep.

Raspberry and wheat taste up front. Wee bit of cloves that is just as hard to pull out in the taste as it is in the smell.

Good mouthfeel. Not very Saison like but it's a treat to drink.

This fruity number has a mellow, refined taste of raspberry sweep in to overcut any harder flavors.
