look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3 | overall: 4

A: Poured into a tulip glass with no head development. The color is golden and slightly foggy. There is nice lacing that stays as the beer warms. 

S:faintly herbal, sweet, lemon, and a yeast bready aroma

T: the thing about the taste is that I get two different experiences with different sips.  One has peppery  hops and hints of white grape and the other is strongly lemon and crisp.  The finish is herbal hops.

M: light to medium bodied, light carbonation, and some bitterness than hangs on.

This beer poured out as a nice perfectly clear looking gold color. The head was a little foamy looking and white. The lacing was a little on the sticky side leaving a touch of lacing on the glass. The smell is huge on this beer. Lots of herbal floral aromas in the brew. Very earthy and fresh smelling. The taste of the beer was crisp and floral too, loaded with a sharp bitter finish to it. The mouthfeel of the beer is very light and refreshing, sharp carbonation to it as well and finishes dry. Overall this beer is quite good, I would like to compare this with the other that were put out by Stone and DfH as well.

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

Picked up in a Pick-6 at Total Wine. 12 oz bottle into a pint glass

Appearance: Slightly cloudy, golden. Half a finger head reduces but some still retains. Looks pretty refreshing. Cool bottle too.

Smell: Lots of herb scent. Slight citrus, some hop.

Taste: Very complex. The intitial rosemary and other herbs may seem overwhelming, but as you progress drinking it, lemon and other citrus become prevalent. Kind of grassy too. I would really like to cook (basting a chicken comes to mind) with this beer. Peppery, almost spicy finish. The tartness of the lemon pairs well with the herb taste. Particularly like the rosemary. The soapy feel takes a second to get used to but the spice helps it go down smooth. Is that peach I taste at the very end?

Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied mouthfeel with moderate carbonation.

Overall: A very cool summer beer. Coming from three awesome breweries, this is something I expected. I know that the same recipe is used by each brewery, but I wonder how the Stone and Dogfish versions taste. This style of beer isn't my favorite but definitely worth trying. So many different flavors compliment each other, great work, especially for three breweries coming together.

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

Poured yellow-orange in color, and was capped by a good 2 fingers of off-white foam. Slightly hazy appearance, but very effervescent looking. Head retention and lacing are just OK.

Herbs, lemon, tartness, and a slight funkiness in the nose.

I'm getting the rosemary and some tart lemon up front. There's also a mild grassy flavor that follows. You start to get the thyme about mid-palate. There's a touch of sweetness as the beer starts to warm. Herbs linger after the swallow as well as some mild hop bitterness.

Light to medium bodied mouthfeel with moderate carbonation.

Morey's Bottom Line: Super refreshing. Herbs and citrus flavors work well together. A great summer saison, and the addition of the herbs really help make this beer stand out from others within the style. Recommended.

Picked up a bottle of this last week in Totowa since I saw this this had a limited brewing release. I like Saisons and this was about as textbook as one got from an American offering. From the cloudy hue, soapy consistency, and peppery-type spice, this was pretty much what I had expected once I poured it out and the alcohol was well-hidden as well. This was worth savoring, without a doubt!

As to be expected, this was golden and fluffy with a nice amount of accompanying lacing. Some pepper and sourness to the nose and when tasted, those notes were a bit more intense. The mouthfeel was pretty cloying and the body was nicely balanced. Because the alcohol was fairly strong, this warmed me up a bit too. Not a lot of fruit flavors here as this tended more towards the grassy and earthy side, and that's the only aspect of this beer that I would have changed.

The alcohol was present but not overpowering and this was a a very good American take on the style, from top to bottom. While not as good as Victory's other beers, this was pretty solid an only a few notches behind its European counterparts.

Pours a pretty bright gold with a medium sized head. Some lacing on the surface. Great smell. Herbal. Peppery. The label mentions rosemary and sage and you can notice these and other herbal notes as well. Really great smelling stuff. This doesn't taste quite as good as it smells. Again, herbal notes- but I'm not sure if I like it in the taste of a beer. Very little sweetness. Pleasant bitterness throughout. Medium bodied and well carbonated. Fairly drinkable. Overall this is an interesting beer and I do like it but it just seems a little off.

Poured into a boston lager pint glass

A-Clear gold yellow. Small head leaving a white layer on top. Lots of bubbles coming up.

S-Smells of wheat, yeast, a bit bready maltiness to it. Sort of like a hefeweisen (sp?).

T-A bit of spices in the immediate front, moving towards a very dull middle, and finishing with a bit of a wheaty flavor. Not really any hops present. Definitely a taste of yeast throughout. Not very sweet.

MF-A very thin beer. Seems a bit watered down, which probably makes it taste a bit better since the flavor isn't all that great. Leaves a bit of a bready coating in my mouth afterwards.

O-This is alright. Nothing special by any means. I have had a sip of it on tap and it wasn't much better and I had a few sips of the dogfish release as well. I do enjoy a good saison, but this isn't doing it for me. Love all three breweries but I expected a lot more from them. I will still try to find the one in the stone bottle as well just for my collection, its not so bad I couldn't have it again, but over all this is very average.

Appearance: Pours a clear golden color with a respectable head that leaves a fair bit of lacing

Taste: Opens with lemon, rosemary and sage flavors that accompany a bready malt backbone; grows increasingly lemony by mid-palate with all of the flavors melding nicely, into the finish

Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation

Overall: Very nicely done - would love to taste this and the Dogfish side by side

Victory, Stone, and Dogfish Head are three of my favorite breweries, so I couldn’t pass this one up. Cheers!

A: So golden it’s impeccable: the color of this body is truly glorious. The cream that erupts does not stand very high, but its creamy white texture is evident at every turn of the glass – lots of bubbly lacing over just a spot of retention. Bubbles are everywhere throughout the body, rising up to keep the head at just a touch of cream.

S: Whoa…that is a huge herbal character. It’s mainly sage and parsley, spiced stupendously. Every little note is noticeable: you can pick out both the rosemary and the thyme, and even a minty, chamomile tea presence. The malts and yeast, like most saisons, exhibit a Belgian banana and dry vanilla bean with a grassy fruit leaf backdrop; and, as these breweries are experts in hoppy brews, there’s a good hint of lemon rind bitterness.

T: Herbal in the tongue, as well, with near-salty bitterness and the pure essence of parsley, sage, and rosemary. The hops are not very bitter, but with a salty, citrusy command of grapefruit juice over the whole of the palate. Thyme and grass, rind and oats, the grains are as textured as ever, while the spirit of good yeast comes forward in just a touch of buttery toast. The finish is just a spot of the earthen dryness and some slight corn flavor.

M: A light body, though this saison is proficiently carbonated. The herbs are bitter, keeping this feel from being all chewy breads; there’s notable dryness here.

O: Saison du BUFF isn’t an intensely satisfying beer, but it is complex and delicious. Tasty collaborations keep popping up among my beer experiences, and I’m glad this one has continued the streak. To Stone, Victory, and Dogfish Head – brew more, ASAP!

Been waiting for this since early April when I first got my hands on the Dogfish Head SDB.

A: Very nice light amber color pours to about 2 fingers of head that dissipates to a nice fluffy veil of lace at the top that clings all the way down and sticks around for awhile.

S: Nice and aromatic. Get grains right off the bat with the thyme and parsley coming on after that.

T: Very piney up front leading into a strong rosemary flavor that leads way to the thyme, sage and then the parsley. Very well balance and everything flows from one herb to the next with a nice transition. Again not the best beer i've had but its very unique and def worth trying.

M: Light carbonation, and the after taste lingers a bit and your left with a dry taste at the end.

O: Again a very nice collaborative job with these three breweries. They always impress and I look forward to trying to Stone SDB next month.

First had: on tap at TJ's, Paoli, PA

I had the DFH version of this in a bottle last year, so I thought it would be interesting to try Victory's version. I like Victory a lot, and I liked the DFH version of this beer. That said, I'll now say this: whew...this has gotta be one of the worst beers I've had since I entered the craft beer scene. I don't know if it was a bad keg or what, but something was clearly off here.

Served in a tulip glass, crystal clear golden color with a thin white head that dissipated almost entirely. Nose loaded with spices and stale funk, minor fruity esters. I kind of recoiled instantly, but I decided to go back for a taste anyway. Taste of bland malts and sundried tomatoes, overripe fruit, raw mint leaves, way, way too much rosemary on top of the other spices (I don't mind spices in beer, but the amount used here was literally sickening), phenols, grassy funk. I gagged half of this down before pushing it aside. Mouthfeel is chewy, medium body, very off-balanced, with a really stale, vegetal feel all over.

Rarely do I find a beer that I seriously cannot choke down, but this is one of those. I will definitely stay far away from this one in the future.

Malty aroma has a VERY strong overtone of rosemary. Yes, definitely rosemary. It pours a clear solar yellow with a thick and fluffy white head that hangs around for a little. Not inspiring, but this is a saison and I am a stoutie. Flavor has a malty core and - whoa Nellie, that rosemary flavor hits the taste buds like a Hummer! It has some grassy, woody and hoppy undertones and a fair amount of bitterness. Definitely a sipping beer. Flavor has good body and plenty of tingle and sass. I love these collaboration beers.

A: Pours a crystal clear pale golden yellow with some light amounts of visible carbonation. The beer has a quarter finger tall white head that quickly reduces to a thin ring at the edges of the glass and a small extremely thin film patch. Moderate lacing is observed.

S: Lots of herby notes in the aroma of this beer - lavender, rosemary, and sage. Smells very inviting.

T: Some light underlying malts upfront with fairly intense herb flavors - lavender, rosemary, and sage. The beer has a very nice balance.

M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Dry in the finish.

O: Quite easy to drink, refreshing, and enjoyable. Perhaps not the best saison that I have had but it is a very easy drinking beer. I think this is better than the DFH and I'm still waiting to try the Stone version. Glad that I tried it.

Having recently had the DFH iteration, figured it'd be fitting to pick up the Victory version.

Pours a medium sunny translucent color, with a bone white head of maybe about a finger. There's a bit of sweetness on the nose, with a fair amount of a sort of hay/musky aroma. Light bits of citrus, grass and some floral notes with a touch of white pepper. The taste has a more bready, yeasty sweetness, with a touch of bitterness and citrus, floral hops and a slight not of musty hay. There's a bit of creaminess, and it lacks a bit of the effervescence that I've come to enjoy with Saisons, but it's body is lighter.

Overall, it's not a fantastic Saison, but that doesn't make it enjoyable. I'm glad I tried it, and hope I can try the Stone version at some point, but I don't think I'll seek the other two out any further.

12oz bottle poured into a goblet.

A: Pours a crystal clear golden color with a 1.5 finger puffy white head. Lots of large bubbles are visible rising to the surface. Head dwindles to a film within a few minutes. Good lacing on the sides.

S: Initial smell hits you with spice and herb. Can really pull out the rosemary, sage and thyme. A little wheat in the background and a real faint hop bitterness.

T: Starts off with some light herb and spice. Some wheat body in the middle. Ends with a little bitterness from the hops. Really enjoy those spices in this style.

M: Fairly light on the palate. Good carbonation and a clean finish.

Overall a unique saison that is definitely worth a try. I'm always partial to beers that are pushing the envelope which I am sure will show in my review. A little less spice/herb than the dogfish head version.

Just released, I've been super anxious to crack a bottle of this Victory Brewing Company Saison du Buff. This beer was first released two years ago as a collaboration brew between Dogfish Head, Stone, and Victory Brewing. At the time, the beer was never released in Connecticut because of some awful hiccups in the distribution network. This year Victory Brewing did a batch of it's own, for release during it's normal distribution network.

Just arrived this morning, I immediately set a bottle aside so that I could try one tonight. The Saison du Buff pours a bright golden yellow color with an egg-shell white foam. There's plenty of carbonation, but the foam never gets more than one finger thick. While the initial carbonation fades back, there's a persistent thin film of foam throughout the entire glass of beer. There is also a ton of bubbles rising from the bottom of the glass for the duration of my beer.

On the nose, there's very little hops, an unexpected surprise considering the three breweries involved in this collaboration. There's a very nice complex variety of spice on the nose, with just a touch of malts. On the palate, the Saison du Buff is relatively light-bodied, with plenty of spice, and a clean dry finish.

Despite the name, I really didn't expect a very saison-esque brew. There have been dozens of American saisons that I've tried, always falling a bit short of the Belgian versions. By definition, a Saison should be relatively light and easy to drink. This Saison du Buff has been one of the two best American Saisons I've had to date, only competing with the Goose Island "Sofie". I like the Saison du Buff so much, that I've already emailed my salesman asking for another couple cases. At the very least, I'll buy a whole case for myself!

12oz bottle poured into a snifter. Pours a clear traditional golden with a slight haze. White head fades pretty quickly, decent lacing and nice retention. Tons of coriander, rosemary, juniper, thyme, and spices up front. The nose is dominated by spices. There's a slight funk. I can taste those same spices, they're not shy. Flavors are very bold and spicy. I'm even picking up a touch of cinnamon. Lots of hop flavor, wow. I can taste the pungent grapefruit, very dank. I might go as far to say that the hops dominate the flavors more than anything. Very spicy. It's almost reminiscent of a Belgian IPA, which is right up my alley. Black pepper is noticeable as well. Finishes dry. Mouthfeel is right on; carbonation is great; it's on the lighter side of medium-bodied. Alcohol goes unnoticed. This is a fun beer to drink. It personally reminds me alot of a Belgian IPA. This beer really is a treat and I'm definitely going to get more. I'm pissed I passed on it last year..

This saison might be rough around the edges, but it's so unique and tasty. Awesome beer! Like I said, to me it's reminiscent of a Beligian IPA. Awesome beer..

12 oz. bottle poured into Weyerbacher tulip.

A - Pours a clear golden yellow. There is next to no head at all and very little lacing. Surprising for a style that usually has a huge pillowy head.

S - Some funky brett, hay, clove, and various spices in the background. Not nearly as spice forward as the DFH version.

T - The flavor is a combination of a number of herbs; rosemary, thyme, oregano. Also, big Brett flavors but not really funky. Sweet honey and grass round out the complex flavor.

M - Despite the absent head, there is solid carbonation to this beer. It is of the micro variety and goes down velvety smooth.

O - I liked this one better than the DFH variety and haven't yet had the stone version. I thought it was very strange that there was no head, but the carbonation was satisfactory. I rank this one about middle of the road as far as saisons go.

A - Pours a lightly-cloudy yellow with a thin pale head.

S - Huge grass notes up front, as if I am laying in my front lawn. Behind this, there are some citrus and hops. My first Saison and wow this is unique!

T - Again lots of grass up front, followed by some smooth lemon citrus. This is most likely the most herbal beer I have ever had, and I cannot quite decide whether its fantastic or just ok.

M - Some moderate carbonation compliments the flavors nicely. A smooth medium body is also quite pleasing. Well done.

O - I'm not quite sure I am sold on the style, but that said the flavors are in good balance. I can easily see why others like the beer and it certainly makes sense to call it a farmhouse ale!

My 100th review!

A- Pours a very clear dark yellow with a half inch white head that sticks around for a little while

S- Lots of sweey lemon citrusy scents coming off this one. Not much in the way of malts and a tiny bit of hops in the backgorund

T- Definitely a lot more lemon citrus in this as opposed to other saisons, which is a good thing. Get some of that typical herbal saison taste in the end of the sip but nothing overpowering

M- Odd combination between smooth and prickly. This facet of the beer could use some work

O- Pretty pleased as I don't usually care for saisons. With a better defined mouthfeel this beer could do great things

A- straw yellow, classic American saison look. a similar looking beer would be Stillwater Stateside Saison. slightly opaque but still clear.

S- very grassy upfront that progresses to a more hoppy and citrusy smell. a little disappointing. don't really sense the Dogfish in this one, just smell the malt profile of Victory (which comes off as that grassy kind of Prima Pils style malt) with the ending of the citrusy Stone style hoppiness. a little predictable to be honest. finishes with a slight yeastiness, bit nothing comparable to that sweat yeastiness of a Belgian saison. the yeast is a little overpowered by the American craftbrew scents.

T- was surprised by how great this beer was compared to how skeptical i was about the smell. it's a great mix of American craftbrew with a respectable homage to belgian brewing and yeast traditions. it drinks like an American brew but finishes with a slight yeasty belgian hint, which is about all you can ask from a collabo ale that's shooting for the Belgian style. it feels a bit like a poorly made Green Flash x St Feuillen Biere de L'Amitie but it's still awesome.

M- unexpectedly awesome, not at all syrupy. just a nice and wispy saison, just what you want.

2012, second bottling. 12 oz bottle into a pint glass. Reviewing this one month after trying the fresh Dogfish Head version.

A - Slightly hazy golden straw yellow body with a two finger white head. Nice lacing and retention.

S - Lemons and grassy herbs. The finish is biscuity. A bit fruitier than the DFH version. I can detect the herbs but its not as pronounced.

T - Wow. This seems very different from the DFH version. Saison like qualities from the yeast, grass, biscuity malts, and the lemony fruits. The finish is herbal but I can't really pick out individual herbs. Light to medium mouth feel.

O - The DFH version seems to really highlight the herbs where as they seem to be an after thought in this beer. Its tasty and drinkable, but not as exciting.

12 oz bottle into tulip.

A: very clear, very bright yellow. bubbly white head starts only about 1-finger but dies to a rim quickly. however, does leave behind some lacing.

S: boatloads of rosemary in the nose. very distinctive. almost mint-like at times. some sage as well. the nose is definitely dominated with the herbs, but no complaints here.

T: the mint and rosemary certainly continue to the palate, but not nearly as intense as the nose. gentle malt sweetness backs up the herbs. finish is dry.

M: carbonation is moderate, a little too moderate in my opinion. wouldnt hate for some more bubbles. medium bodied.

D: the rosemary aspect is really cool and noteworthy. however, i think a little work could be done to set this brew over the top. a little bottle-conditioning would add to the mouth and probably make it a better looking brew. just my 2 cents.

Poured from a 12 oz into a tulip- pours a perfectly clear golden orange, one finger head that quickly dissipated to nothing and minimal lacing.

Smell is mild- a little pale malt, maybe some candi sugar and a little yeast.

Taste is not mild- sweet and spicy. Great stuff- pale malt and sugary goodness hit the palate first, followed by some tart yeast and finished off with a nice citrus hop finish. Hops ate definitely detectable which is great!

Mouthfeel is also exceptional- light body, nice prickly carbonation and the slightest oily feel from hops. Good stuff- curious to try the others but it's hard to imagine them being better than this except in appearance and smell.
