Appearance
A dark brown with gold tones around the edges, a non-cloudy dark
reddish brown when held to a light. Head is a medium tan, very short
height, even shorter duration, with light lacing. Lighter than many dark
roast beers. This brew is a dark red when held to a light. Low
carbonation, poor lacing, short lasting caramel colored head.
Aroma
Disappointed in the lack of strength. I am getting mild roasted malt, a
tangy citrus in the form of lime and kiwi, but all are very hard to detect.
Light and a little fruity, cherry, chocolate, and caramel, all as mild notes
amid an also mild roast background.
Palate
A clean water essence with some crisp carbonation. Very light chocolate
and roasted malt flavors but way too thin ! A sweet minerally porter. The
roast is there in what is a relatively thin brew. Has some chocolate and
tea leaf character.
Finish
Strength picks up, the flavor enhancement over the palate is huge, yet
overall this porter is light to a fault. Some sweet lime citrus, roasted malt,
light chocolate, and some light coffee tones. Some sweetness which
separates from the malt. An exceeding mild finish, the fresh water
satisfies thirst, but doesn't lend to character.
Synopsis
Some requisite porter flavors are there, rich roasted malts, chocolate,
coffee, some lime citrus, but all of these are too light and many don't
appear at all until the finish of this brew. There are too many great
alternative porters out there preventing us from scoring this well. Not a
bad taste for the Porter drinker, but severely lacking in punch. Simply a
very mild taste, I would have preferred more ooomph !

Ithaca Beer Co., Ithaca, NY
Appearance
A pale, evenly cloudy yellowish orange, effervescent, white head that is airy,
bubbly, and tall, impressive for the Saison ale style, long lasting and light
lacing.
Large puffy white head to a semi-cloudy gold. A good looking brew that
doesn't mystify but is still good in all attributes.
Aroma
Nice overall strength, has the expected peppery spiciness and grains along
with some citrus - basically lime and apple - and some floral tones.
Floral and honey sweetness over a peppery spiciness. Simple and upfront
with a spirit of wheat and the Saison farmhouse ale style.
Palate
A cool water essence with some citrus sweet and the expected peppery
spice edge. Medium creamy cut by a coriander spice. A little thin in texture
but full in taste. Mild saltiness and slightly dry.
Finish
All of the palate flavors carry through but the peppery spice moves to the
forefront. Picks up a nice earthy quality while still maintaining some
carbonation zing. Some saltiness picks up and lends more complexity to a
straight forward approach of a Saison ale. The sweetness recedes and the
floral tones remain.
Synopsis
A very fine example of a Saison ale, probably closer to what an actual
farmhouse ale would have tasting like more than any other example I have
had to date. This has the expected peppery spice notes expected for a high
temperature fermented ale, along with lime and apple citrus "regular" ale
qualities. These qualities are not overdone leaving no question that you are
drinking a Saison ale.
A fair assessment of the style. A salt and peppery brew that would pair well
with food. Easy drinking and a little mild, I would have preferred more punch
but this doesn't disappoint overall.

Appearance
An attractive golden copper color, perfectly clear and effervescent. The
off-white head is moderate to tall, fluffy and creamy, of moderate duration
and has decent lacing. Light amber that is clean with a foamy and rocky
head.
Aroma
Strong and complex, a basket of fruit, both sweet and tangy essence of
tangerine, lime, apple, pear, and plum, very impressive. Vaguely hoppy
with distinct sours with some malty sweetness. Warming strength and a
citrus zip with pear, plum, and dark cherry.
Palate
Mild but good pale malts and lightly sweet citrus, basically an orange
and a pear flavor, and a mild carbonated crispness. Good but lacks
creaminess for an ale. Smooth and silky yet also dry. Sweetness
prevails over a mild vinegar-salty sour. Ebbs and flows between sweet
and sour with a medium wealth of caramel malt and carbonation.
Finish
The strength picks up a little with all palate flavors carrying through. Here
the citrus tones alternate from a tangy to a mild sweet, finally wrapping
up with a mild and pleasant salt component. A caramel malt, sours, and
dryness picks up to ultimately capture the punch of a mild English Brown
Ale.
Synopsis
A very attractive amber ale, clean and complex, with a multitude of fruit
tones, pale malt, and salt component. A tasty beer that I enjoyed, some
constructive criticism would be to have a bit more overall strength and
creaminess to the body, that would have helped the score as this is an
ale. Tasty and medium light. Enjoyable with some fortitude, but not the
strongest ale on the shelf.
