3.8/5
AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
22 ounce bottle into tulip glass. Pours hazy golden amber color with a fairly dense 2 finger white head with good retention that reduces to a lacing cap. Aromas of lemon, orange, spices, herbs, with a bit of sourness, and grapes. Aromas are fairly strong and have good balance. Taste of citrus notes, with pepper, and other spices. A bit of floral as well, with some tart flavors. The fruitiness is not as prominent in the taste as the nose. Much more spice in the taste. Taste is fairly well balanced, a little off, but is pretty darn good. No bitterness on the taste or finish. Fairly dry finish but there is a bit of sweetness and spice that lingers for a bit. No alcohol in the taste but a moderate alcohol warming on the finish is present. Medium carbonation and body. Very smooth drinking as well for its alcohol level. Overall this is quite an enjoyable saison!
This had a very good price point, so I decided to try it out(about 4 bucks). Very good stuff for the price, and a good saison style ale.
