22oz bomber into a snifter
A: Pours a hazy golden yellow with a nice white head that fades to a ring and leaves some lacing on the glass. About right for a Saison.
S: The nose is mostly that belgian yeast aroma of floral esters and spicy clove with a hint of lemon zest in the background. Not the best smelling Saison but it isn't terrible.
T: Big sweet flavors of belgian yeast and malt hit you first and are follwed by some clove and a bit of hops on the finish. Not much lemon or apples like a Saison should have. This could probably score better as a Belgian Strong Golden Ale or one of the other Belgian styles.
M: The feel is on the thicker side of medium and creamy. Just a tad bit dry which is also not very Saison like...
O: While this is a tasty Belgian beer it's not the best Saison I've had. I will say it's one of the best Rahr beers I've had though. Their To Thee series is really impressing me with each release.

A: 3.25 - Poured into a standard pint, I got almost no head despite a vigorous pour.
S: 3.5 - Is this a sour beer? No hops to speak of, but a green apple sort of tart scent.
T: 3.5 - Hmm, not sour--well, there is a little bit of a tart underpinning. Bitterness is on the low side of moderate. Lots of fruity yeast character.
M: 3.5 - A little thin, probably because it's so well attenuated.
O: 3.25 - Eh, not very good. I've been impressed by Rahr many times, but this offering completely underwhelms me.
