I brewed this on New Years Eve, and it turned out GREAT! I've tested against a commercial microbrew saison (Victory Brewing), and think mine is as good, if not a little better. It's got a bitter bite to it (Sorachi Ace 13% AA), but washes off the tongue clean without aftertaste. It is very citrus in smell and taste. A very good 'lite' style beer. When it gets to 95+ degrees outside, this will be a nice brew to cool you down.
I will likely brew this again and change the Orange peel to include less orange and more grapefruit. I also plan on replacing corriander with peper and/or seeds of paradise.
