Netebuk pours a hazy golden color, and is topped by a half-inch, bright white head that fades to a film. This is a very attractive beer. The aromas are subdued, but there are notes of lemon, citrus, and grass.

Grassy notes upfront quickly give way to sweet fruity flavors of bright citrus. The finish is crisp with a mild bitterness. This beer is medium-bodied with refreshing and vigorous carbonation.

I though this was a crisp and refreshing saison.

A tulip, Farmers' Cabinet (is that apostrophe in the right place?).

A: The saison is a golden straw color, bright but hazy. A fluffy head, by far the largest of the day, sat contentedly in the tulip. A nice looker, especially after a couple of German- and Czech-style lager beers.

S: The nose is spicy with flowers and a surprising amount of hops. Grassiness is at a premium, a bold hoppiness. Full heftiness, think honey, is present as well. Pepper and spices linger.

T: The honey adds depth, a fuller taste. Lemon and pepper drive the spice body until hops kick in mid-sip. Those hops are grassy and floral, nicely strong for a saison. The yeast adds a mustiness that goes well with both the lemonpepper and the hops.

M: The mouthfeel is hoppy and spicy, a nice bite. The lower alcohol level is a plus, not so strong that I can't enjoy it.

O: A nice saison, a bold bite with a nice spicy finish.

The bar im at has this listed as a golden ale. It arrived with about a inch and a half of fluffly white head. Along with that is has a clear golden body. The nose is honey and light citrus, with touch of floral hops. The taste follows the smell mostly, honey is prominent followed by a light lemon and floral hop. It feels good on the palate, perfectly done carbonation which hold a thin layer of head and good lacing as well. Overall its an easy drinking simple beer with great flavors.

With a name like this, how could you not order it? On tap at 72 Hours of Belgium yesterday.

Clear yellow with no real head, this is decent. The nose is all pilsner malt with some Saaz. Almost like a Belgian pils,there's also some honey. Palate is disappointing. the grassy hop character is pleasant, the stale malt character, not so much. Not particularly complex or impressive. Drying on the finish with mild bitterness, this is decent.

Poured into a Beer Hunter tasting glass.

pours a light golden hue with a huge white head. Leaves lots of lace on glass.

Aromas of chalk, lemonbalm, slight peppery notes.

Sip - cashews?, peppery yeast, lemon, interesting flavor mix. Some bite at the end, but not alcohol (too light at 6.5 %).

Mouthfeel is light, thirst quenching.

Very drinkable beer. Would be good after a work out or hard work out in the yard on a hot summer's day. Very nice beer.

Finger plus of bleached white foam, fairly loose, minuscule bubbles, dissolves swiftly without much dimpling, lacing slides off the glass like it was greased. Light orange to more yellow gold in color, faint gauziness with a few scattered bubbles within, holds light well. The nose has a pleasing creamy texture to it, punctuated by white grapefruit, tangerine citrus zest, round apricot and peach fruit scents, honey, fresh pastry dough, white pepper and ginger balance each other out, interestingly neither particularly malty nor hoppy, mild cocoa as well as straw/hay, overall just relaxing and soft with no one element dominating. Full-bodied, the carbonation active enough that you can't call it "soft," however, it spreads fully across the palate, no pore untouched. The sweetness of the apricot, pear, peach, red apple, white grape fruit offset a touch by the tang of the white grapefruit citrus. More raw dough and yeast than cooked bread, its dryness also checks the honey, sweet baking spices and roasted candied nuts. Full weight through the finish with flavor to spare and some prickle. If it makes sense, there's complexity in its simplicity which, to me, is the best attribute of this beer style.

Picked up at Plump Jacks in SF CA. Beer pours a gorgeous copper blond peach color with a thin white film. The smell is of a bakery, fresh sweet breads with a malty finish. The taste is lovely, seriously this beer taste like a peach cobbler! Huge peach tones with big time bready-ness. This beer is awesome in the taste department and i would highly recommend this beer to any one who likes Belgian style ales.

A bottle at Monk's Cafe. Big thanks to Mr. Peters for breaking this one out. Shared with Sierrags, Cornelia and Ray. If this one tastes as good as the little winged goat on the label is cute then I am sure this one will be nice.

A-Hazy amber tinted golden yellow with a thin off-white head. Head reduced to a thin ring and left spotty lace.

S-Honey and fruit (apple/pear) with a touch of earthiness and peppery spice.

T-Honey and biscuit malt sweetness pervades initially. Secondary spicy / earthy notes kick in and help balances the sweetness out.

M-Medium bodied and quite smooth. The honey aspect offers a fuller feel with a good amount of "slickness' Almost like a braggot. Drying finish.

D-Hard to believe this is "only" 6.5%. This beer drinks a lot bigger than that. This is a sipper to enjoy. A saison that drinks like a light mead. Very flavourful and enjoyable. We have a winner....time to fly my little friend!

What a cute bottle! Pours a clear light orange with a small white head. Aroma of apples, pears, bready malt, and yeast. Flavor is similar with lots of light fruits and a spicy kick in the finish. Very pleasant, smooth, and easy drinking. Great Belgian Ale.

What a cute little goat-guy on the wrapping paper and label of this one.

Pours a quite foggy brown toned yellow with a thin creme head. Nose is heavy on honey tones. Flavor is quite hearty. Much more than I was expecting. Honey and sweet tones are there, but so is an overall earthy character. Oddly there seems to be an alcohol tone on here, which I find just weird since this is only 6.5%. It still meshes pretty well and presents a nice hearty drinker. Feel is smooth on liquid and thick and carbonation is middle of the road. A nice drinker. A bit heavier than I would have expected and that strange alcohol tone still pervades, but it's a nice one overall.

Pours an amber gold, with an ample head that dissipates quickly, leaving a small layer of foam and Belgian lace. Nose of butterscotch, ginger, toffee, green grass. Tastes of malt, green hops, green pepper, with a little tropical sweetness. It is hard to classify as to whether a saison or tripel due to the fruitiness. Mouthfeel is light but somewhat creamy, with a dry aftertaste. I think it is more in the Belgian saison style. Drinks well.
