Poured from a 12OZ bottle into a pint glass.
This is a slightly cloudy golden colored beer. Lightly carbonated with some sediment, has a nice white head. A pretty good saison with a hint of fruit b the tongue.
12 oz. bottle. Pours a dark gold color. The aroma and flavor has doughy yeast, spices, clove, and tons of fruit. Kind of strange but in a good way. Not a top tier beer but pretty decent.
2014-08-15. Hazy yellow body with a small white head. Aroma is moderate, lemony and cereally pale malt. 3+ Flavour is similar with a lightly fruity lemon character over a pale malt core. Average bodied palate, modest carbonation. Bottle at Campground Brewdown
4 oz draft pour at Heavy Seas Alehouse in Baltimore. Clear golden yellow with off-white head. Aromas of floral notes, light funk. Tastes of citrus, funk, herbs, spices. Medium body with a dry finish. Medium carbonation.
Not sure about this one HS. Sure, nothing offensive about this spicy, sweet saison, but it just doesn’t do much for me. Pretty high ABV hidden well. An okay brew, but not a style in HS’s wheel house. Serving: multi 12oz bottle experience.
Very tasty light fruity beer with excellent aromas and a nice clean finish pretty impressive stuff
12 oz. bottle from backlog notes 07/08. Pours a slightly hazy dark gold color with an average sized white head. The aroma and flavor has doughy yeast, spices, clove, grass, hay, light fruity notes include banana, citrus and peach, mild acidity, sweet malts, peppery spices, light bodied, crisp drinkable.
Drank from the bottle. Aroma is fruity, malty, and peppery. Taste is sweet with caramel, fruit, and sugar. Crisp medium mouth feel, with medium carbonation.
Best by December 2013, so a little past its prime according to the brewer. Pours a slightly hazy orange-golden with a fair-sized khaki head that settles to a thinner ring and leaves some soapy lace. Nose involves some spicy, tart yeast with pepper and clove, a bit of green apple, plenty of hearty dough, a bit of lemon, quite zesty and invigorating. Not incredibly sweet, a bit tart, fairly bitter. Medium bodied, very soft, a bit oily, with a quick spicy and fruity finish. Fresh, I’m sure this would pop a little more on the palate, but otherwise I’m totally fine with this. Great yeast influence on the aroma and taste.
If I had to pick a saison I’d pick this one! This is far from my favorite beer style, but as far as saisons go, this is a great one. Very fruity, but not offputtingly thick like a lot of saisons! Pirates!! !
bottle. golden with small head. doesn’t seem very much like a saison, but there’s nice flavor here. sweet with malt and a bit of fruit.

Bottle. Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are yeast, coriander, wheat malt, hops and fruits. More like a Belgian Wit.
Pours reddish with a little head. Not very bitter at all but packed full of flavor. Spicy and fruity..
Bottle golden pour with copper hue. Nose banana, pear, ester, some clove. Taste sweet up front with belgian style fruit. Some bubble gum. Just a hint of metallic/vegetal late in the mid palate. Spice mixed with bitter for the finish. Smells a little better than it tastes, but not bad.
Consumed from bottle purchased warm then refrigerated. Excellent fruity aroma, with an almost wheaty taste that I’d normally shy from. Light mouth feel. Goes great with lobster!
Not a great beer, but a very decent brew from this company. Pours a little hazy yellow with a small white head, smells and taste of spices and a bit of dried fruit.
Not sure that score up there fairly represents the quality of this saison. Dried fruit and spice on the tongue and a very subtle tangy finish, medium head and slightly disappointing clear appearance. This isn’t exactly robust, but it’s very serviceable and not offensive in any way.
12oz bottle poured. Slight lace and a reddish amber color. Medium body with a sweet flavor.
Clear medium amber with a light head and a streak of lace. Taste leans heavily toward the sweet malt, growing sweeter while adding spiced plum and papaya through the palate, then releasing to a little bittering at the finish. Overall, I don’t think this quite works - taste isn’t big enough for the abv, balance is off at the end. Aroma is terrific...too bad it isn’t reflected in the taste.
Bottle. Moderate grain and hay for the malt, light to moderate flowers and herbs for the hops, faint soap for the yeast, with hints of cherry, white wine and alcohol. Head is tiny, fizzy, white with no lacing and is fully diminishing. Color is medium amber. Flavor starts slightly sweet and moderately acidic, then finishes lightly acidic and bitter. Palate is light to medium, slick, with a lively carbonation and a slightly dry finish. Light and spritely, a very refreshing and tasty Saison.
Tap at stags head. Pours golden with nose of spice and yeast. Tastes of pepper, red fruits, bananas, cloves, yeast, grass, and earth. Light bodied and easy drinking but missing any punch of character.
Draft at bistro on bridge. Pours clear orange with a medium sized white head. The aroma has belgian yeast and lemon zest. The taste is zesty lemon and orange, sweet banana, and a little boozy. Good but not really to the style.
Draft at Khyber Pass. Poured a hazy amber with no head at all. Fruity esthers. Orange sherbet punch. Puffed wheat. Bell peppers. Pimento. Medium body. Not a proper Saison at all on my opinion but not awful.
