[1] Review by Vac from San Diego, California, USA who has tried this beer once. (7/1/2008 2:17:46 PM)
"Bottle at Toronado San Diego. Pours with a cloudy yellow body topped by a thin head with little lacing. It’s slgihtly sweet with a grassy note, a little malt, and a slight yeastiness. Light bodied, crisp and a touch dry."

"Bottled. Slightly hazy yellow colour, mediumsized white head, also particles floating around. Aroma is fruity, earthy and a bit grainy. Flavour is very citrusfruity along with mild wood and some hints of earthyness. Pleasantly balanced. "

[3] Review by RedHaze from Bellevue, NE, USA who has tried this beer once. (3/2/2007 4:09:26 PM)
"Bottled 2005, 750ml.
Pours a slightly hazy pale yellow, with a fluffy two finger head hat fades very slowly to a thick cap. There's tons of little streams of bubbles floating to the top to keep the head going, and the lacing completely covers the inside of my glass.
Smell; there's a little bit of hops in the nose that go along very nicely with a lemony citrus. There's a nice earthy quality in the aroma as well as a touch of peppery spices, with just some hints of Saison funkiness in the background.
Taste: the citric lemon flavor is the first thing that hits me, along with a mildly bitter hop presence. The funk is a touch more pronounced in the flavor than it was in the nose, and mixes well with some earthy spiciness.
Mouthfeel/Drinkability; mouthfeel is medium bodied, and this has a ton of carbonation that's a bit on the harsh side for me, and the drinkability takes a hit to due this. Otherwise the drinkability of this one would have been really up there.
This was my Thanksgiving dinner beer, and overall I was not disappointed at all. A pretty darn good beer to sit back with and enjoy on this beautiful turkey day."

[4] Review by aabrewer318 from Beaverton, Oregon, Djibouti who has tried this beer once. (2/27/2007 9:37:51 PM)
"2005. This is brewed with spelt wheat... Color is a shade of yellow with a lightweight and sticky big head....A very pilsner-like musty aroma. Medium bodied, mouthfeel had coarse bubbles...A pronounced bitter wheat taste. Kind of a damp lemony finish with an herbal taste. Not quite on par with saison Dupont i thought, but in the same realm...It got nice and smooth by the end and was refreshing and a very welcome drink"

[5] Review by Phil B from Gatineau, Canada who has tried this beer once. (1/31/2007 2:11:54 PM)
"Bottle: Poured a golden yellow color ale with a thick pure white foamy head with good retention. Aroma consists of funky Belgian yeast with some big malt and some spices or hops that provide a very herbal feel. Taste of floral malt with subtle funky yeast and a dry finish from (I believe) Saaz hops. This beer is definitely not filtrated with lots of sediment at the bottom and lots of carbonation. Very well done and something that I will enjoy drinking often – a session saison if I can say."
