look: 5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5

750 mL bottle poured into an oversize red wine glass at 4C, tasted at about 7C.

Rich, hazy golden straw and orange pour with thick voluptuous and beautifully dimpled 4+ finger head that is perfectly maintained, near perfect lacing.

Yeasty mandarin orange and tropical fruits dominate the nose. Some alcoholic warmth, subtle hints of acidity and fresh citrus oil.

Surprisingly high acidity considering the nose, but average for the style. Dry, old mandarin orange and woody coriander/spices. Light horse blanket yeast, but slightly green grassy hop-ishness dominate the lower end. Richly balanced with good depth but lacks satisfaction; I think it lacks a little bit of sweetness.

Crisp, medium weight body that is well carbonated before a marginally dry peak before a medium juicy finish with a yeasty bubble at the back of the palate.

There is something disjointed between the nose, taste and mouth feel. While each individually are good, the evolution from one to the other lack integration. The lacking of satisfaction may be due to the cold season, so I will try this again in the summer. A good drink but there several other saisons that I would much rather have as a similar or lower price.

Bought this one in Waterbury at a grocery store I think. From notes.

A - Great colour with a cloudy, light golden. Good carbonation coming up to a two finger fluffy white head. Nice creamy finger of retention and a great wall of lace all around. Looks like apple cider with the yeast added.

S - Orange, mild sweet baking spice. Bubblegum, wheat. Similar to a Hefe. Smelled good. Lot's more orange and banana with the yeast added.

T - More of the same. More sweet spice, some barnyard character. Banana and bubblegum. Not really complex.

M - Strong carbonation, medium to full body. Creamy. A little spicy finish lingering for quite a while.

O/D - Really wasn't anything special to me. Spice was something that was too strong for my tastes. Aside from that there a few good features, but certainly nothing special. Decent, but a bit of a letdown. Too similar to a Hefe.

look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5

a: clear golden yellow. reminds me of fields o' grain. large 4 finger (probably would have been more if the glass were larger) head.

s: pears, green apple, wheat, nice bready and spicy yeast. sweet citrus zest, sweet malt with some earthiness. smells really nice.

t: follows the nose. the dominant flavors i'm picking up are ripe pears, sweet malt, green apple, and a nice yeasty component. slightly floral. pepper spice, clove on the back end. finishes crisp and slightly dry. really smooth

m: lighter side of medium, with quite a lot of carbonation - which works well. it helps the sweeter flavors pop to harmonize well with the yeast and spice.

o: this is definitely a refreshing beer that you will enjoy drinking. its really smooth and doesn't feel heavy at all - definitely a nice summer drinker. sit on your porch and enjoy nature whilst drinking this.

A - Pours an orange body with golden hues and an eggshell one finger head.

S - Brett is noticeable... White grape, yeast spices, white pepper and green apple. The tartness really balances out and brings forward the sweeter fruit qualities.

T - Milder than the nose. Brett tartness, funky, fruits of white grape and green apple. Turns a little peppery with clove and nutmeg towards the end.

M - Lighter bodied, higher carbonation. Has a dryer finish and it's so crisp to drink.

O - Lovely tartness on the nose with a milder tartness in the taste. Such an easy drinking beer and pleasing to the palette.

A - Pours a hazy medium orange with a huge off-white head with great retention. Perfection.

S - Lots of Brett like smells, some wood, citrus, fruit, hops. Solid.

T - Soft Brett-like. What? Wood, citrus and some wild flowers round it out.

D - Good carbonation with a light body.

O - Silky and soft and very nicely balanced and enjoyable. I got lots of Brett like characteristics, but this was just the straight Seizen.

750ml bottle into a snifter. best by 12/2015.

Pours a light golden color with an inch and a half thick lingering white head. Smell is of sweet lemongrass, very nonoffensive and pleasant. Taste is very nice , typical sweet saison flavors with the yeast really showing its presence. This one might be a bit better with some more age. High carbonation and a medium body, feel is pretty straightforward and typical for the style.

Overall a very enjoyable saison. Though this is not my favorite style i've had plenty of them and this one is one of the better ones that i've had the pleasure of drinking. Would recommend to any saison lovers.

Big thanks to harrymel for this one!

Cloudy honey gold body with a massive, swelling white head that fills the glass, leaving behind sexy lace all over the place.

Mellow but spicy yeast with an approachable fruity sweetness. A little pepper, a little white grape. A delicate beer with plenty of nuance.

Juicy white wine flavors layered with spicy pale fruits... a touch of bready malt characteristics lend a hand in keeping this one in balance. What a tasty summertime beer.

Thanks Harry!

pour is completely hazed lighter golden yellow. Nose is fairly nice, lighter on the farmhouse yeast notes, strong sweet ester notes of banana and light clove spice. Taste is a bit bigger, still lots of banana and light spice as the farmhouse note shines through a touch more but still very subtle. Very well carbonated with a light airy body and moderately dry finish.
