Bottled 20DEC12

Rusty, ruddy brown with a fleeting light foam. Rim and central cap leftover. Smells of standard saison yeast (commercial and conventional) - clay, coriander, some hay and a little sweetness. Taste is cheep and theres basically no orange character here through the strength of the yeast. Medium on heavy body with moderate carb and dry, slightly astringent finish. Not impressive.

A: Purchased this at a local bottle shop in Vancouver. Looks interesting...red wax topped bottle. That proved to be somewhat annyoing as there was a ton of wax and took a lot of work to get the bottle open. Pours a hazy copper color, not much head or lace down the glass
S: Smells of Belgian yeast, pepper/spicy scent and orange.
T: Taste is slightly sweet with orange flavor and spice (corriander maybe).
M: Light thin bodied beer, carbonation seems on the low side
O: This beer was just ok in my book not bad but not that good either. I was somewhat underwealmed by this one, was expecting more i guess.

Pours a murky tan color, honestly unappealing in appearance. One finger of off-white head that settles to a thick film. Smell is of blood oranges, cream. The taste is of sweet orange, pine and citric hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is average, carbonation is very passive. Overall, this is interesting, not one I'll return to though.

A - Dark brown in color with a cream had that fades almost instantly.

S - Smells of fermented fruit, spices, sugars.

T - Raisins and sweet oranges.

D - Sticky in the mouth, very low carbonation.

Had this beer on valentines day with my fiance. Cracked it open and it poured a darker copper color or a deep orange. The first smell I got from this beer was the yeast. On my first sip I got a crisp taste of hops and a slight taste of tang from the blood orange. After a few more drinks I mostly could taste the yeast, but it is a pleasant taste not an astringent one. Great drinkability and a saison I would have again.

Picked up a bottle at Belmont Station to share with my sweetie on Valentine's night. Pours a pretty dark orange color with a nice, light carbonation that continues to rise from the bottom of the glass. A brief flourish of creamy white head that quickly dials back to a thin ring around the glass. Aroma of orange peel, light spices (coriander), and acidic citrusy hops, with an underlying sweetness from the blood orange juice.
Palate is light and subtle up front, with the citrusy hops jumping out front. A mild sweetness from the pale malt and orange, and some interesting spices (coriander, orange peel), and a touch of tanginess from the saison yeast. The blood orange emerges for a brief moment before the swallow. The hops come back with some nice bitterness on the finish that lingers for a wile after the swallow.
Body is nice and light with good carbonation, although not effervescent. Nicely drinkable, pairs well with dark chocolate. A good, interesting take on a saison with the intriguing twist of blood orange, and definitely a change of pace for Alameda.
