Leicht trübes hell goldgelbes Bier mit einer mittelgroßen weißen schaumkrone. Geruch hefig, Kräuter, leicht säuerlich. Geschmack minimal säuerlich, Gewürze, getreidig malzig.
This ale poured a golden yellow colour with an off white foamy head. Scents include hand soap, ripe fruit, pineapple and cream. First swig was quite thin and watery. Flavours of ripe fruit and cereal most prominant. Finish is a little bitter with citrus hop flavours lingering...
Pour is a hazy yellow with a huge white head that grows after the pour is complete. Aroma is dough malt with creamy yeast and finishes with some citrus. Flavor is much more spicy and peppery than the aroma lets on. I also get some herbal hop with a big finish of white pepper. The was a very nice and flavorful low alcohol saison.
From tap at Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2014. Hazy yellow color with white head. Malty, hoppy and yeasty aroma, floral, citrusy fruity, funky, herbal, spicy. Sweet and biter taste like aroma. Medium oily body with soft carbonation.
On tap at International Tap House, pours a hazy gold with a thin head and a little bit of lacing, the aroma has a decent amount of orange and zest mixed in with a little fit of funk, the flavor has a zesty front end with again some funk in the finish, not sour but different, not bad, crushable if hot.
Pale golden with a white head - Malts with some fruity aroma - Malt body with some fruity and hints of some yeasty notes - malt and some spicy yeasty notes goes into the finish - This was nice
Tap @Black Door. Clear golden color. Small size, white head, stays. Old shoes, but also white wine, some chardonnay and bit plastic in aroma. Plastic, leather, white wine and some branches in taste. No carbonation, flat. Leather in aftertaste. Dull and bland. Naah.
Had this on tap a while back at World of Beer. I seem to like everything I try from Prairie. This was hazy gold with a white head on top. Tangerine and apricot fruit flavors collide with funky dust notes, yeast, and a vibrant crisp, dry finish. Very drinkable and refreshing.

Chevrette aroma, dusty, dirty, sweet apricot, some white wine/grape, a little mouldy, some sickliness. Taste more grapey and winey, simple malts. Rough dirty palate, want to scrape my tongue. Finish has some pleasant barley, that’s the best phase, but it’s too late to fix it.
KRS 130515. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma is yeast, orange, malt. Flavour is yeast, orange, malt, floral, spices. Medium body. Nice beer.
on tap at the taphouse in copenhagen. hazed yellow with a thin head; aroma of bubble gum, stables, plenty of saison yeast character; lightly citric, cough drops, quite synthetic; curious and pretty good
Draught at Lord Hobo, 9/27/15.
Very bright crayon/pencil yellow body shows a light haziness and a small, but fairly dense white head that sits at cover with plentiful carbonation apparent.
Hay, grass, lilacs and plentiful bread dough in the nose gains a touch of honeysuckle-like maltiness (mixing with the floral notes). Peppery phenols build on the finish, with minerals and more grass and hay. Esters, at least, are pretty tame, though there is a touch of peach and banana (but it’s very light). No alcohol and no flaws.
Sweet, sugar cookie-like malt notes up front make room for lilacs, black pepper and moderate fruitiness (starfruit, nectarine, peach). Some unwanted acidity, in concert with a rather heavy breadiness for its size shows up and kind of jumbles things, but it regains some crispness on the end with snappy spicey/herbal hop notes and a fairly tight carbonation. My first Prairie beer and it’s admittedly a bit underwhelming though perfectly serviceable. It’s like a blend of a bad, messy, pseudo-Belgian, American "farmhouse" beer and a really nice Belgian saison. If they could just remove the character of the former....
Murky in both color in glass and malt tone. Digging the dryness at finish. Redeeming. Bottle. Digging the label. I lime more funk in a farmhouse. The citidots think its just a structure where the likes of Warren Zevon say ther aint much to country livin... but thef armhouse ale offersso much more than stableshavings. Dany...eat your heart outonthis one pal.
Medium offwhite head. Clear yellow body with carbonation and little
particles. Spicy herbal oily aroma with cumin and pepper notes.
Dryish peppery oily herbal taste with chamomile and wood notes.
Mid-bodied. Mild, oily mouthfeel. Dry peppery chamomile and herbs
aftertaste with spicy notes. Very nice. Fresh, drinkable, and full
of character. Actually, tastes a bit like Achillea millefolium.
(0.33l bottle, from Kihoskh, Copenhagen.)
Really nice aroma. Has a nice saison flavor. I like all the prairies I havetriedso far.
Bottle. Frothy head, cloudy honey coloured beer, spritzy. Wheaty, earthy, farmhouse aroma, with some spiced fruitiness. Good malt base, a hint of Westmalle, creamy and a bit ’wit’. Really good.
Bottle. I can get behind 12oz sessionable saisons, and even though $3.50+tax isn’t cheap, it ain’t exactly expensive either. Cloudy copper pour, small white head. Spicy and bready; Belgian esters mixed with musty gym socks; peppery lightly bitter finish. Light body, average carbonation. Overall: solid, and much better than most of the sweet American saisons that come in 12 oz bottles.
Draught. Malty with some spicyness, very weak on the nose. In taste dry, low sweet with very harsh bitterness and peppery finish.
Bottle at home. Pours cloudy pale yellow with a medium, rocky white head, long retention with good lacing. Aroma is moderate earthy wheat malt, lemongrass, pear esters and black pepper. Flavor is earthy wheat malt, lemon zest, medium citrus hops and bitterness with a dry finish. Light body and moderate carbonation.
W smaku kwaskowate, lekkie nuty winne, wyraźnie dzikie.
Aromaty owocowe.
Wyraźna goryczka w smaku. Lekko cierpkie i ściągające. Zostawia lekko słonawy posmak.
Trochę wodniste.
One of Prairie’s saisons brewed some place else. Clear, deep ’old gold’ colour with calm sparkling and irregular but dense, off-white, somewhat thin head but retaining well on the edges and in the form of small ’islands’ floating on the surface. Becomes a misty ochre with deposit. Pleasurable aroma of starfruit, melon, bubblegum, lemon zest, honey, young cheese, wild flowers, buttermilk, caramel, cider, bread crust, freshly cut grass, canned apricot, pineapple, sweet dessert wine. Nicely fruity onset, estery but still remaining quite ’clean’, sweetish with hints of sweet grapes, watermelon, unripe peach and green banana, soft carbo, very light salty touch for a brief moment, smooth, supple and lean body of caramelly malt sweetishness, spicy yeasty notes here and there and especially in the finish, where they match perfectly with a peppery, leafy hop bitterness, not harsh but gently and gradually drying and bittering the palate while juicy and fruity maltiness go down into the throat. Well rounded and balanced little saison, quenching at 4.5% ABV like the style was originally intended, but perhaps a bit too clean in comparison with most (traditional) Belgian saisons from the Hainaut province. Still, you can feel that this is carefully conceived and executed, and Prairie has already proven its feeling for farmhouse ales in previous products I tasted from them.

Z?ote, klarowne piwo z puszyst? i sztywn? pian? oraz ?wie?ym, owocowo-kwiatowym aromatem. W smaku lekkie i orze?wiaj?ce, lekko s?odkawe, owocowe, troch? kwaskowe, cytrusowe, z subteln? goryczk? na finiszu.
Bottle shared at home. Murky pale straw with big fizzy head that leaves a nice film. Light spicy yeast, some dough (I get some bread yeast besides the spicy yeast too), slight milk, nuts, straw, lemon. Light sweet and bitter. Under medium bodi9ed with quite some fizzy carbonation. Nice drinkable stuff, though it has some notes of milky dough with bread yeast that are closer to a witbier and don’t work too well for me here.
Golden, rather clear, small white foam, some lacing; spicy, citrus, grass; medium sweetness, lightly bitter and sour; medium body, quite smooth feel but lively carbonation, long dry and little bit tart finish;
Overall: Balanced, quite drinkable but with some character, without flaws

Draught@BBB, Göteborg. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is nectar, some floral, zesty and yeasty notes along with mild spicy notes. Flavour is very similar in a nice balance.
Bottle. Pours hazy yellow, with a big creamy head. Aroma is yeast with notes of wood and pepper, kandi and malty notes of doughy bread, as well as some farmyardy notes of grass, berries and earth. Medium to full body, with lively carbonation. Flavour is peppery yeast, with notes of wood and sugar, sweet malty notes of bread, cereals and honey, as well as some perfumey and rustic earthy notes. Quite sweet finish, and a tad too sweet to be tremendously quaffable. Still enjoyable.
12oz. Is what it is - Prairie’s version of a 6er beer - and it’s dank. Full on sessionable saison here. Grainy, slight hay, hints of spice. Excellent for what it is.
Tap Hazy yellow colour with medium white head.Aroma is fruity of citrus and orange peel,also peppery and fresh crispy and nice fruity medium carbonation and light malty mouthfeels really nice overall.
Tap at Taphouse. Hazy golden with a white head. Aroma light malty (bread, spicy, perfumy). Flavor light sweet, acidic, spicy, perfumy. Light body.
Dirty golden beer with fast falling head leaving just a thin head on top. Pretty nasty looking clusters of something resembling snot in there plus all the yeast bits floating about. Smell is moldy with some herbs. Taste is mild citrus, bread, and something that I wouldn’t call black pepper but maybe a green pepper or other vegitable. Not really that tasty and beginning to wonder if this was a bad bottle.
