Can from Craft Brewed. Pours a clear toasted gold color with a finger of foam that dissipates. Very Belgian yeast driven nose with clove, coriander and lemon aromas. Crisp carbonation with more coriander and floral honey notes as it warms up. Fairly well-balanced with light toasted whole grain bread on the finish with peppercorn and honey. --- Beer merged from original tick of CynicAle on 22 Aug 2018 at 22:30 - Score: 7. Original review text: Belgian yeast-forward nose. Coriander, lemon and clove notes. More of the same on the palate, sweet malt. Lingering peppercorn.

Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 5/6/2016. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy golden amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big lemon, orange, peach, pear, apricot, apple, peppercorn, light clove, biscuit, light honey/toasted bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, bready malt, and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big lemon, orange, peach, pear, apricot, apple, peppercorn, light clove, biscuit, light honey/toasted bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Moderate yeast spiciness and light herbal hop bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, orange, peach, pear, apricot, apple, peppercorn, biscuit, light honey/toasted bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, bready malt, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/spiciness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from yeast spiciness as well. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/creamy/sticky, and fairly crisp balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol for 6.5%. Overall this is a great saison. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, bready malt, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth, easy, and fairly crisp/clean to drink. A bit on the malty side for the style; but still stays spicy/drying enough to feel like a saison. A very enjoyable offering.

16 oz can. Hazy pour with a nice, clean head and some average lacing. Yeasty and fruity, bright floral, some pepper. Lighter sweetness, spice, and some good, clean bitterness. Tingly, bright mouthfeel. Finishes mid-dry. Pretty nice.

Can. Musty yeast, light white pepper, malt, and hay aroma. Golden yellow with off white head. Mildly sweet orange/peach, yeast, malt, and mildly bitter herbal hay flavor. A very pleasant saison.
