Bright, vibrant, fruity, yeasty, just what I was looking for. Aroma of yeast, light hops and lots of passion fruit & mango. Flavor much the same. Refreshing and complex at the same time. Very nice.

Sampled at Funkwerks on 9/30/2012. This saison pours a ison. Nice mix omedium orange gold color from the tap. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is fruity, sweet, mango. Peaches and spicy. A medium to full bodied saison. The malts are fruity and sweet. The hops are herbal and spicy. Nice carbonation. The mango and peach flavors are subtle and not overly sweet. Nice yeast. Good carbonation. A touch on the sweet side, but still a very enjoyable drinkable saison. A nice mix of flavors, fruit, hops, spices and yeast. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

750ml bottle. Pours a hazy straw yellow with a big fluffy white head that retains well and laces the glass some.

The aroma is wheaty malts, lemon and some tropical fruit with a little floral hops.

The flavor is wheaty, bready malts with some sweet tropical citrus fruits and a decent dry grassy hop finish. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with low carbonation.

Overall, a nice saison. The fruity notes are interesting, but it's a tad on the sweet side for me.
