Reviewed from tasting notes.
Poured out a mostly clear light golden color with a single finger of off-white foamy head that leaves behind minimal amounts of lacing. Lighter side of medium strength carbonation and body.
Smells and tastes of light floral elements, some vague honey and white pepper, a tiny ghost of lemon peel, and some cracker malt. Not a very memorable or striking profile, although it does contain the basic elements of a saison. Everything is sort of wispy and thin, even for a style that *should* be lighter.

Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a bit of an orange tint abs a massive three inch white foamy head with huge bubbles that quickly dissipate, leaving sheets of lacing.
Aroma is heavily wheaty, with orange and coriander, lemon peel, peach, and a bit of bready caramel malt adding intrigue.
Flavor is disappointingly malty and grainy. Lemon and wheat add complexity to the profile, which ends slightly dry. Tangerine and coriander surface in subsequent sips, with a bit of white pepper at the finish. Woody notes surface as it warms, but bittering hops are a bit overdone.
Body is on the light side, with very high carbonation, and a powdery dry finish.
Overall, the graininess, bittering hops, and extreme carbonation stole the enjoyment of the flavor. Wish the flavor held up to the aroma's promise.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a Unibroue tulip.
A: Pours a hazy, yellow-orange color with two fingers of billowy, nearly white head. Strong retention and lace.
S: Sweet bread, floral notes and hay. Honey is in the distant background.
T: Light pepper up front, fades to dry, bready malt, then finishes with pepper, minerals and a little bitterness.
M: A tad thin, quite fizzy.
O: Not a bad saison, but with so many better ones out there, probably won't miss this one too much. Nevertheless, glad to have had the chance to try it.
