I have now had this recipe on my secondary ferment and have been watching it progress. I am extremely impressed with the color and aroma and can't wait to taste it. This is my second all grain saison. The first "Mikes" was a great tasting Saison but came out very pale and lacking in color character. The reddish brown color that this brew is taking on is exactly what I was looking for in an off season Saison. I will follow up this review upon tasting but based on the smell during raking into the secondary I believe this will be my best batch yet.
