Could be the pour or the location but I didn't find this to be outstanding or world class. For me, it tasted slightly better than a Budweiser and I graded accordingly.

Pale yellow, and transparent color.

Smells of banana, light spice like pepper or clove

Taste similar to smell.

Full, dry mouth feel and makes me want another sip.

This is two years old and it is just awesome.
The appearance is a really pretty hazy golden with a vigorous frothy head that lingers well and left good amounts of lacing.
The aroma is a wonderful medley of earthy zest, pepper and phenolic yeast along with clove and banana.
The taste is earthy zest, clove, and some pepper.
The palate is light yet lingers well with a nice earthy bitterness and sweet fruitiness.
Overall this is an excellent saison from a great brewery.

c&c 750ml bottle (undated) into an Ommegang tulip at fridge temp.

Look: brilliant mildly hazy yellow-orange with a rambunctious white head.

Smell: lemongrass, hay, sage, clove, pepper.

Taste: sweet clove, honey, banana; hints of lemon zest, black pepper, stone fruit, nutmeg.

Feel: soft and juicy, fairly light body, very easy to drink.

Overall: a nice beer for sure, but I'd prefer a bit less sweetness.

Got a growler of this at the local bottle shop Bear World today. Pours a lovely golden hue, slightly hazy with a nice white bubbly head, nice lacing down my chalice as I drank. Aroma is all sorts of fruit and malts, very interesting. The taste ahhh - malty and fruity, somewhat smoky, well balanced. Has that definite Belgian yeast note you'd expect in this style and it does not disappoint. Feel is wet and dense, leaves me wanting more. This is a truly high quality brew.

Look: Thinly laced head of off white with short retention. Noticeble carbonation. Light Amber somewhere around a 9. Semi-opaque. Handsome beer.
Smell: Whoa. Smoky, dark, notes grilled wood, wheat malts, rye, sour notes, ginger. Orange and cranberries. Dry hops.
Taste: Smokey notes of oak. Wet pine, wheat malt character, spices, sweet and sour notes. A hint of peaches.
Feel: Acidic on the tongue upon entry, thick and creamy though the middle, and dry on the throat. The taste is mouth-coating.
Overall: The perfect campfire beer. Smooth, rich, complex, and tasty. It tastes like the earth. The perfect Saison.
