Forgot about this bottle. Bought last year it is batch 003.

A - Poured into my Duvel tulip a crystal clear golden hue with a nice four finger fluffy head that fades pretty slowly leaving lots of sticky side lacing and a good thick cap of a blanket. Very, very nice.

S - Almost tripel like aromas here. Fair amount of belgian aromas here maybe even a light banana or that could just be my nose playing tricks. Nice sweeter malts here along with some very light floral notes. Fairly pleasant for being 18+ months old.

T - Taste is fairly solid. Nice sweet belgian malts and spice notes. Faint saison funk, light fruits. No hops really, perhaps they have transformed into that lingering fruit flavour. Pleasant for sure and tasty. There is a surprising amount of booze though.

M - Mouthfeel is brightly carbonated and sharp, however, the amount of booze I'm getting knocks this down from a 4.75 to a 4.25.

O - Overall this is a solid beer, even for its age. The alcohol flavours though and feel in the mouth just hindered the enjoyability of this beer for me. One would think considering the amount of accidental age on this beer that would have tamed it but alas, that would be a wrong assumption.

Fluffy, large-bubbled head. Settles slowly. Very cloudy. Neutral gold color. As the head settles, it leaves some spots on the glass.

Mildly sour nose. Light alcohol.

Thin bodied with a very high carbonation level. Lots of citrus sourness to the tongue. There's a bitterness without a distinct hop flavor, just simply bitter. A classic Saison with the earthy/sour notes throughout.

A very nice Saison from a very nice local (for me) brewery. Pours a warm yellow under Union Brewhouse lights and tastes nice, clean and crisp.

A - Hazy yeasty pout with minimal head.
T - I like this a lot. It is just a bit rough around the edges, like a true farmhouse ale, with a tad of funk. Slight banana finish and then followed by a metallic finish that could be found objectionable. But not my me.

This is a good example of what think a Saison should be...original

Serving type: on-tap

From 04/27/12 notes. Big thanks to jslot38 for sharing this, I've been wanting to try their stuff for a while. 750ml bottle from batch 3, the cork popped off by itself and hit the ceiling, but surprisingly no gusher.

a - Pours a hazy dark brown yellow color with three fingers plus of fluffy white head and moderate carbonation evident.

s - Smells of bananas, yeast, spices, pepper, and some bready malts. Nice bananas and not too much pepper, very nice nose.

t - Tastes of bananas, spices, pepper, fruity malts, oranges, bready malts, and yeast. More fruit then the nose; I like it a little bit better.

m - Medium body and low to moderate carbonation, pretty smooth body.

o - Overall a very nice saison. Nice bananas in the nose and oranges and more fruits in the taste. If you like you saison's fruity I'd suggest this one, and would like to have it again.
