Thursday afternoon, Nationals manager Jim Riggleman shocked the baseball world by resigning as manager of the team -- while they are on their hottest streak of the season, going over the .500 mark with a walk-off 1-0 win over the Mariners.
Via tweet from Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal, we learn that Riggleman was unhappy that his contract option was not being picked up by the team and Ben Goessling of MASN tweets that Riggleman had told GM Mike Rizzo that if nothing was done on this issue, he'd resign after the game.
But this is not the only shocking resignation of a major league manager, whether during the season or the offseason. Here are several other managers who suddenly quit for various reasons.
October 1964, Johnny Keane, St. Louis Cardinals: Keane had just managed the Cardinals to a shocking come-from-behind NL pennant, their first in 18 years, and a World Series win over the Yankees. At a press conference that reporters thought was being called to announce a contract extension for Keane, Keane resigned -- and within days, was hired to manage the Yankees. This turned out to be a bad move for all concerned; the aging Bronx Bombers had a losing season in 1965 and when they started 1966 4-16, Keane was fired.
October 1973, Dick Williams, Oakland Athletics: Just after winning the A's second consecutive World Series, quit because he was sick of owner Charlie Finley's meddling with his team and Finley's treatment of second baseman Mike Andrews during the Series. Finley held Williams to his contract, though, when he tried to take a job managing the Yankees; he was finally allowed to leave and manage the Angels in 1974. He later managed the Expos, Padres and Mariners, taking Montreal to the NLCS in 1981 and winning the NL pennant with San Diego in 1984.
June 1977, Eddie Stanky, Texas Rangers: Stanky, a scrappy infielder for the great Brooklyn Dodger teams of the 1940s, managed the Cardinals and White Sox in the 1950s and 1960s, coming heartbreakingly close to a pennant in 1967 with the White Sox. Fired halfway through the 1968 season, Stanky, then 52, returned to his home in Alabama to become head baseball coach at the University of South Alabama. In 1977, the Texas Rangers talked him into managing their then-.500 club. Stanky managed one game on June 22 and then decided that "modern" ballplayers weren't to his taste and that he missed home. He quit after just that one game.
June 1991, Don Zimmer, Chicago Cubs: Zimmer's Cubs were struggling, two years past the time when he led them to the NL East title. In a move presaging Riggleman's, Zimmer demanded to know his contract status from GM Jim Frey -- one of Zim's predecessors as Cubs' manager. Frey, who was out of his element in the front office, dithered, and so Zimmer resigned with the team record 18-19. Though he coached for several teams for years after that, he never managed again. His replacement, Jim Essian, finished the 1991 season -- and also never managed in the majors again. Slogan: "The Cubs managing job: get it, and it'll be your last."
July 2007, Mike Hargrove, Seattle Mariners: Hargrove, in his 16th season as a major league manager in a career in which he had five straight playoff appearances and two AL pennants with the Indians, was in his third season as Mariners skipper and had them in second place, four games behind, on July 1, riding an eight-game winning streak. Stunning everyone, he resigned, issuing a statement that said his "passion has begun to fade" and it would not be "fair to myself or the team" to continue. John McLaren took over, went 43-41, and Seattle finished six games behind the wild card Yankees and the first place Angels.
Most managerial tenures end with a firing. But in several cases, including Thursday afternoon's astonishing announcement by Jim Riggleman, these men went out on their own terms.

Happy shopping!
How to Snag the Best Deals First
Scoring a good deal on Poshmark is all about finding it first. Read on for a handful of tips that can help you nab the next amazing Posh find for your wardrobe.
Find your Stylemate
First things first, find your stylemates on Poshmark. A stylemate is someone who wears the same sizes you do and shares a similar taste in style. There is no one simple way to instantly find your stylemate, but you can find a lot of great closets by searching for people who sell pieces from your favorite brands and designers. Following these users mean that when they list new items, you'll see them in your feed on Poshmark, therefore the potential for seeing them before other users is greater.
Shop "First Look" Showrooms
The second and third party every day always has a showroom that is titled "First Look." In case you're not familiar with it, this showroom is a one-stop-shop for all items that have never been shared to a Posh Party before. While these items are not necessarily brand new to Poshmark, there is still a pretty good chance for you to unearth a killer deal by perusing this showroom.
Search Poshmark by Keyword
Are you on the hunt for a specific item or style? Try searching for the item name or using keywords to scour all closet listings. If you don't find the item you're looking for right away, don't fret. Just check back regularly because you never know when your dream piece will be listed for sale. Additionally Poshmark automatically saves your most recent search history in the app so you can easily search again whenever you want!
Bartering With Care
Some Poshers are open to bartering their listed prices, but your success in doing so all depends on how you approach it. Many users are turned off by comments such as "Lowest?" or offers that are significantly lower than the listed prices. You'll find better results by approaching users with full sentences and bargaining in terms of percentage. For instance, try figuring out what 15% off their listed price is and ask if they'd be willing accept that amount.
Seasonality of Shopping
There is a quite a bit of seasonality when it comes to shopping; you tend to buy swimsuits and sandals at the spring and coats, sweaters, and boots at the fall. In considering the law of supply and demand, the more in demand a particular kind of item is, the more expensive it'll be. That means at the end of a season, those seasonal items will most likely be available at deeper discounts due to the decline in demand. Bonus tip: This is also something helpful to keep in mind when stocking your closet as a seller.
Recruit Your Friends
Get friends to help you shop! The more eyes looking for any particular order, the better. At PMHQ, we've all become familiar with one another's sizes and styles so when we find something that's perfect for them, we tag them to let them know. And don't worry if your friends aren't on Poshmark already because you can invite them! The best part is it's an easy $50 bucks for you (plus $5 for each friend) if they use your referral code!
We hope that by using some or all of these tips will help you find you new go-to handbag, your dream shoes, or anything else your closet desires.

We know at times it can seem intimidating to try to take the perfect Covershot, and you may think it'll just be easier to use a beautiful photo that someone else took. That's when the thought crosses your mind: Is that okay to do?
Read on to get some best practices for using photos you didn't take:
Even though we're big fans of their great photography and beautiful pictures (hello, Instagram), whoever took the photo is the copyright holder of that image. They can sell or give permission to use it if they wish. They might even be open to their images being used if you reach out and ask. Others may not mind someone else using their photos at all! However, unless you took the photo, it's best to assume you don't have the right to use it.
What if you still want to use photography that isn't yours? We strongly recommend to:
1. Get permission from the image owner - whether it's an individual or a company. Don't be shy! Reach out to the owner of the image for their go-ahead. Most image owners don't mind as long as you've cleared it with them first.
2. When posting the picture, make sure you mention the original owner, link or tag them and other necessary ways to show the image's source.
3. If you don't receive permission, use a different image altogether to avoid any sticky situations! Let your personality and creativity shine and take your own photos for listings - it's the best way for your potential buyer to know exactly what they'll get when they buy the item!
For more tips on taking Covershots and other product photos, see the links below:
Make Your Covershots App-solutely Stunning!
Photo Tips From Power Poshmarker, Simonett
We've shared a lot of advice on how to take Covershots in the past, but what about the other three photo shots? Once your Covershot has caught a potential buyer's eye, you can seal the deal with other amazing shots. Read on for our tips on taking a great product shot:
Get Steady
Your photos will come out clearer if you brace your arm or camera on something stationary. This is especially important in low light situations.
Be Mindful of Your Surroundings
Make sure your foreground and background are clear of anything that may take away from your product shot.
Take Multiple Shots
Multiple shots means more chances at a perfect product shot. Use your device's camera app to click away as many times as you need to get the shot.
Use Flash Sparingly
Your photos will turn out much better and look more like they do in real life if you keep the flash off and use natural light. If natural light isn't available, try a brightly lit room rather than overexposing one area of the item you are photographing.
Tap the Screen to Focus
Avoid blurry images by tapping on the item you're photographing to make the focus crystal clear. This tip is especially important when taking close up shots of your image.
Don't Over Edit
Sometimes less is more when it comes to after effects. Make sure your additions and changes don't take away from your amazing photography skills!
Try Something New
Experiment with the types of product shots you take. Get inspiration from fellow Poshers, try arranging items differently and give new angles a try.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman will start against the Houston Texans, despite still dealing with a bit of a thumb injury. Freeman injured his thumb a few weeks ago and played with it heavily taped last week against the New Orleans Saints. Freeman completed 73% of his passes last week and threw for over 270 yards and a touchdown, so the thumb didn't seem to be much of an issue.
Freeman will be playing the NFL's second ranked pass defense in the Houston Texans however, who have generated a good pass rush in their new 3-4 look. Freeman may struggle with his accuracy if his thumb is still bothering him against a team with a pass rush that can get to him and hit him, however.

Burnley text threats man must work for community
11:30am Thursday 30th January 2014 in News
A MAN who sent his estranged partner seven threatening text messages has been given a community order.
Burnley magistrates heard that John Anthony Fletcher, 45, had a record, but that he had not been in trouble since 1996.
The defendant, formerly of St Stephen's Way, Colne, admitted sending a communication conveying a threatening message to Christine Harrison, at Colne, last October 26.
The hearing was told Fletcher that was currently on benefits but was hoping to soon find work.
Fletcher was given a six-month community order, with supervision.
He was also ordered to take part in the Lancashire Safer Relationships Specified Activity Requirement.
The bench said the activity requirement was to help him to address abusive behaviour and help him deal with anger management.
The defendant must also pay £50 compensation to the victim, a £60 victim surcharge and £85 costs.

Southern hospitality is thriving in Oxford, Mississippi. People in the South pride themselves on extending a warm and friendly welcome to everyone that they meet. The town of Oxford is the epitome of this tradition. My family made the long journey from Savannah to Oxford to watch the Georgia Bulldogs play the Ole Miss Rebels in late September. Georgia football is one of my husband and son's favorite activities, and as a bonus, I orchestrated the trip to qualify as an official college visit for my son.
A large group of Savannahians joined us on our tour of the Ole Miss campus. As we wandered around the beautiful grounds, I was impressed with the landscaping, the buildings, the people and the energy of the place. It was refreshing to see that kindness extended from the students who led the tour to the administration of the university. I managed to get separated from our group, and a distinguished gentleman approached me to offer his assistance. He was delightful, helpful and just happened to be the provost of the university.
The quaint town of Oxford was alive that evening. We wandered into a packed "local establishment" for a quick drink and a chance to check out some local entertainment. A brush with Fox News anchor and Ole Miss alumnus, Shepard Smith, was very exciting. We tried not to stare, but we just could not resist. My friend Anne approached him, and with true Southern charm, he welcomed her with kind words and a quick kiss on the cheek.
Saturday, the day of the game, was fabulous. The weather was perfect, and the Grove, the tailgating epicenter of Ole Miss, was filled with gracious people ready to welcome us with a sandwich, brownie or cold drink. Row after row of tents jammed the 10-acre field, and all were precisely lined up and decorated with flowers, chandeliers and big-screen televisions. It was evident from the wide range of ages that many families had been tailgating in the Grove for generations. Hospitality was the theme, and it seemed that the impending athletic event was just a small part of the celebration.

At the game, we sat in the middle of Ole Miss fans. They really wanted to win but were still very friendly to us. Both sides congratulated each other on good plays and even though the game ended in Georgia's favor, the Ole Miss supporters continued to be gracious in defeat. At the Grove's postgame tailgate, it was all about food, fun and fellowship—for both teams' fans.
The moral of this story: Win or lose, good sportsmanship outshines any athletic competition. And the Grove filled with tents, traditions and nice people is still about as Southern as it gets.

As always, thanks for reading.
Properly yours,
@ Bobbye. My son is going to Ole Miss and he loves it. Please be looking for my February post on Proper Bow ties.... it will include another trip to Oxford!!! Thanks, Cindy

Cindy..if I had known you were coming...I would have baked a cake!! Am so glad you came to the game and got to see what all of us in Oxford, Mississippi are always bragging about!!! Great that you got to see the grove..this is a special place, not soon forgotten!!

What a wonderful place! So good to know that manners still exist. Thank you for sharing.

Ole Miss and Oxford, Mississippi, are the perfect examples of true "Southern" civilized living at its best.
By Barbara Victor on December 01, 2011
I truly enjoyed reading your blog. Our family had actually the same experience at Ole Miss. The people are definitely true southerners. Also, Oxford is such a the lovely place!! One must visit!!!
By Cindi Long Aspinwall on November 11, 2011
How fun to read an article about Ole Miss as my son, too, is considering this fine institution. Your comments have enouraged me to take a second look at this oozing with Southern tradition and manners school! Enjoyed it thoroughly!
By Amy Smith on November 10, 2011
I have enjoy your information so much and think the world or at leaat the US should pay more attention. I am nearly 68,can not believe that, and find it amazing how manners have disembled. We all new to be refreshed in everything. Sometimes I feel like my mind is a computer, or a roller disk. I have an inome tax office and I am amazed, how many people just call, blurt out everything not even telling who they are. I have an answering machine announcing when I am open and to call at that time, most times it is hangups or a lot of garble throught noise in the background or they are talking to others in the background or their garbled voices. NO ONE THINKS. I don't like a machine answering my call and sitting there for an hour or so by the time I have gotten someone I have forgotten why I called in the first place. My time is valuable to me at any rate. Thank you BJ

Really enjoyed reading this post (and your wonderful blog on the lost art of etiquette)! Could those watermelons be any cuter?! I was fortunate enough to travel with our football team to Oxford when we played there 4 seasons ago...Tailgating and gameday is a passion of mine and Ole Miss' legendary party on the Grove did not disappoint. Hoping to refer to this great Gameday post soon on my blog, Gameday Style. www.livingforgameday.blogspot.com

I could not think of a more perfect person to write this fantastic blog! Cindy thank you for such a wonderful blog I just adore reading it!
By courtney buntin victor on October 13, 2011
Cindy...Loved reading your article. How wonderful to be treated so gracious as the opponent! Any Bulldawg fan certainly knows when traveling to an away game that is always not the case. Your attention to every detail during your visit made me feel like I was actually there. Definitely sounds like "Southern Grace and Manners" are definitely alive and well at the University of Mississippi... Beth

I love the south with its traditions and class.
By iron lily on October 13, 2011
Hi, Cindy. I really, truly enjoyed your blog. I have had the pleasure of visiting Ole Miss, and you're right--Oxford is about as Southern as it gets with its tradition and hospitality. Wonderful, warm folks are there. How refreshing that sportsmanship reigns above all. I've gotta say, though, that I'm relieved our DAWGS won the game!
By Viki Curtis on October 12, 2011
Cindy is a beautiful, gracious, southern belle and such an asset to Savannah.
By Joey Schwatz on October 11, 2011
I now plan to make Ole Miss a must see for my college bound daughter. Thank you so much for the story on this beautiful college town filled with such lovely people.
By M. Lewis on October 11, 2011
Cindy Your articles are always RIGHT ON! How very much our world could learn from good sportsmanship and a true accepting attitude. We may not be able to change the outcome of things, on occassion, but we can certainly control the way we handle them with a positive and loving attitude. Thank you for always sharing honestly and perfectly those things that we should already know but need reminding. Carolyn
By Carolyn Nowell on October 11, 2011
Cindy, As always, I thoroughly enjoyed your blog post! My husband and I were also in the grove for the GA/Ole Miss game and loved all the Ole Miss fans we spent time with. They were clearly there for the celebration and fanfare that IS college football in the South! Thanks again sharing your blog with us! I anxiously await your next entry!

Paula, I have always loved your shows and enjoyed many of your recipies. I just watched you on Oz. I too was a smoker and my husband for more years then I want to count ( I am now 59) but after my first grandson was born I knew I did not want him to know I smoked. I had tried several times to quit before and I tried all the things I could think of. Finally my brother told me about Chantax. Well let me tell you I quit 3 years ago and my husband quit 6 months after I did on it. You can still smoke the 1st week you are on it. But after that week you really do not want it. I know Dr.Oz suggested Wellburtrin, which I did try but I had an allergic reaction to you may not and it could work for you, but I really thought the Chantax was the best thing. Good luck to you and I hope you get this. I will say some prayers for you and I hope it works for you. Continue your wonderful recipies. Love you, Pam Derrick

CATEGORIES InterviewsThe remake of 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' opens this week, and in honor of the event, we got to chat with the new Freddy Krueger himself, Jackie Earle Haley.
Haley's career has spanned over 30 years, from his role as Kelly Leak in 'The Bad News Bears' to the iconic Rorshach in 'Watchmen.' His performances have gained him a legion of fans, and it was those fans who originally suggested him for the role of the dream demon of Elm Street. He's also starring in the television show 'Human Target' on Fox. Haley told us about the research he did on serial killers, finding the darkness and the first time he wore the makeup on set. The remake of 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' opens this week, and in honor of the event, we got to chat with the new Freddy Krueger himself, Jackie Earle Haley.
Haley's career has spanned over 30 years, from his role as Kelly Leak in 'The Bad News Bears' to the iconic Rorshach in 'Watchmen.' His performances have gained him a legion of fans, and it was those fans who originally suggested him for the role of the dream demon of Elm Street. He's also starring in the television show 'Human Target' on Fox. Haley told us about the research he did on serial killers, finding the darkness and the first time he wore the makeup on set.
The fans were the ones that suggested you for the role of Freddy Kreuger.
Yeah, I mean, the first thing I heard about 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' being redone ... I was just kind of surfing around the Internet, and I noticed that some people were suggesting that I might be right for the role of Freddy in this remake. I had no idea they were doing it. I was immediately intrigued. I had no idea they were doing it. I thought, oh, he's an incredibly iconic character. Man, if I were ever to do a horror film, that's the one. [Laughs] And I called my agent and he said, "I'm already talking to them, dude." And sure enough, within a week or two I was sitting with Sam (Bayer) and the producers, and Sam was telling me his vision for 'Nightmare on Elm Street.'
It was really interesting watching how much darker it was and how updated it felt. Can you talk a bit about the difference in tone?
Yeah, you know, that kind of gets back to that first meeting with Sam. He was telling me his vision. He kind of felt that the very first 'Nightmare on Elm Street' kind of had a darker tone and feel to it. And from there, it started to get more campy, more comedic. It's still wonderfully horrific and gore-ific, and the things that it needed to be. And it was fun. It was great, but Sam wanted to re-envision it. He wanted to go back to the origins. More scary. More of a serious Freddy. And that was intriguing. That seemed to be a good way to go. So that's where our focus was.
I know you did a lot of research on serial killers and came to an interesting conclusion. Tell us about that.
You know, one of the first things that Sam did, and it was early on, and he really didn't have any specific reason, but before he hired me, he was talking to people and he described his Freddy as a cross between Nosferatu and Ed Gain. So he sent me 'Nosferatu' and he sent me this book on serial killers. And he said, "Hey, check this stuff out. I don't know why, but start and let's yap." So I watched 'Nosferatu' and I loved it. And I think that that was ingested somehow, and I think I might have pulled a little bit of mannerism and posing from the guy.
When I started to get serious with the, "Let me get into this mind space," the serious actor work, where it's uncomfortable and you're trying to figure out why these guys, these serial killers, why are they sick? Why are there minds broken? What is it about these guys? And I keyed into Ed Kemper. He's this serial killer -- and I'm doing research and it's sick, it's uncomfortable, it's ick, and I notice, oh, they did a movie on him. And I follow these links over to YouTube and I watch the trailer, and it's a slasher movie. And it pissed me off. It really did. It really irked me that the movie industry would take this real person, this human being, and turn it into a titillating horror pic. That's when I realized, I'm not playing a serial killer. We hate serial killers and rightly so. I'm playing a mythological boogie man named Freddy Krueger, and oddly enough, it's part of this sick, twisted, yet fun and entertaining and beloved culture, horror genre. You know, that's what Freddy Krueger is. He's the main guy in a campfire story. And that's what I needed to embrace, and when I did that, it was incredibly freeing. Because that's what you've got to think about with Freddy. No matter how dark it is, or how serious or how scary it is, it's still part of that campfire genre, which to me means, we love to have this guy chase us down, to scare us so that we can scream and then giggle right afterward.
You have a reputation for being so nice. I've always found that to be true when I've spoken to you. But the characters you play are often incredibly dark. How do you find that darkness?
Jeez, I don't know. Maybe... I'm definitely drawn to unhinged characters. For one, they tend to be kind of zingy and have awesome kind of curves. And there's something that kind of draws me to that. My natural state is pretty happy-go-lucky. I'm usually a pretty positive thinker. I'm usually pretty smiley. I find the positive things. But you know, we all have mood swings. I also have my moments -- you know, the wife could tell you, where I'm all grumbly like everybody else. I don't know, I think each character that I play represents completely different stuff and completely different approaches. Especially when you go from genre to genre, where the suspension of disbelief is completely different. So it's kind of getting after it in different ways. Sometimes the process will plain old be inexplicable. You know? You just do it. Look, there is is. How did you get there? I don't know. Just did it. [Laughs]
Everyone's been talking about the makeup. It's such an amazing design. What sort of reaction did you get on set when you first had it on?
Oh, everybody was completely checking it out. Everyone was totally digging it because, here we were on the set of 'Nightmare on Elm Street' and we're all getting to re-envision such an iconic film, such an iconic character, and Andrew Clement, under Sam's direction, did an incredible job of crafting this makeup, of sculpting it and applying it, and everybody was blown away. You know, it trips me out. I went to the premiere last night, [Laughs] and everywhere you look there are all these Freddy standups. Freddy posters. It's bizarre. I know I'm in there. I can kind of see me in there, but he's already starting to take on his own self-ness, you know what I mean? [Laughs] It's bizarre.
Would you want to revisit this? There were so many of the earlier films. Would you want to do sequels?
You know, I think, let's see how the film does and take it from there, but they've got me for a couple more, so I think if everybody's digging it and they want to see more, I think we'll be at it. Because, you know, you can't kill Freddy! [Laughs]
No, you can't! So any news on a renewal for 'Human Target?'
No, you know, I'm waiting. I sure hope they pick it up. I'm kind of in holding mode right now, because if they pick it up, I'll be very busy for the next eight months or so. But I love that show. I hope they pick it up.
How do you find the difference between working in TV and film?
You know, boy, a lot of that has gotten a lot better over the years. Twenty years ago, when TV was 4x3, and was coming through one little speaker, then maybe two, and the technical aspects of it, of course they were doing it real fast and movies were just so much better ... they looked so much better, and on a technical level, they had all that time, something's happened over the years. You know, with the 16x9 and the 5.1 sound, the experience of it, the crews, I don't know how they've gotten so much better at what they're capable of getting in like, eight or ten days. I think it's talent. Part of it is the tools, but a lot of it is that they've gotten better at it and they darn near look movie-esque. 'Human Target' is darn near looking like a flick. But I think the biggest difference is time. The time that you get to spend on it. And the other difference is just the development aspect. Usually on a movie it's all of that kind of pre-work. You work with the director, and you make the movie and you're kind of done. Here, so much is being developed behind what you're working on. So it's this on-going process. It's like making a hundred one-hour movies instead of one one-hour movie.

Cracking open the bottle precipitates a startlingly loud hiss, leading me to suspect some intense carbonation. Pours a handsome, translucent, golden amber color with an absolutely mammoth head of delicate, rocky, white froth--and this was with a nearly surgical pour. We're easily bordering on 3 inches here, folks. May God have mercy anyone that chooses a vigorous pour. This is why the word preternatural was invented...
Aroma is light and mild, smelling of yeast, lemon, floral notes, and maybe a dash of indeterminate spices. Flavor has a base of gentle, honeyed malt, pervasive Belgian yeast, and an appreciable earthiness typical of saisons. Determination of the spice profile becomes more manageable as the beer warms, with pepper being the first to emerge. Clove also manages to come through. Effusive carbonation nearly sizzles on the palate but is acceptable for the style. Broad, dense swaths of lacing cling impressively to the glass as the beer recedes, almost as if it was just lathered with dish soap.
Overall, this is a very palatable, albeit not especially complex, saison with a glorious presentation. It's crisp, perky, and full of the Belgian character I'm so fond of. I would readily drink this again.

This beer was served to me in a snifter. It had a thick white head that dissipated quickly. The color was bright gold with a slight orange hint. It smelled slightly floral and yeasty. I detetcted something like lavendar that was also reflected in the taste. The taste was sharp and clean but not especially impressive. The finish was somewhat bitter.

330mL bottle from the LCBO, part of their summer release. When I saw this bottle I had assumed that some brandy or wine bottle had somehow accidentally lost its sense of direction and found itself in beer territory, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was a new brew - a craft brew from Italy no less!
Poured into a tulip. A deep amber-orange brew, with the slightest haze. A billowing head of froth is the result of the pour, which lingers as a substantial ring with some lacing patches. The head looks very Belgian, sitting there in heaps and patches.
Nose is farmhouse with a twist - soft wheat and barley malt, musk, a bit of yeast, spice (clove), leafy hops and lemon.
Spicy and yeasty, with an assertive blast of lemon zest to open things off, and finishing with leafy hops and a touch of spice. Nice, refreshing brew, and certainly appropriate for the season.
Carbonation is initially zesty but tapers off after a few minutes. Puckery, creamy feel.
Excited to see a brew from Italy that isn't of the pale lager fare, and even more so to find that the brew was well worth the wait. Nice saison with an extra lemon kick. Fine work.

Appearance: slight haze; big foam on pour, but diminishes quickly to a thin layer, leaving lace' apricot colour
Aroma: vinegary, acid, tart fruit, orange; mild spice; classic Belgian blond scent
Taste & Mouthfeel: thicker, creamier body than expected; mild overall, with something simlar to pumpkin spice being strongest - cloves, cinnamon; like a savoury dessert spice cake (would be nice with vanilla ice cream) and not too sweet; light bitterness/tartness provides contrast in the finish
Overall: wonderful, full mouthfeel and subtle, interesting spice flavour - and all well balanced

330ml elegant mini champagne bottle.
This beer pours a hazy pale golden hue, with a teeming, overflowing cavalcade of foamy white head, which, upon eventually settling, leaves a pockmarked limestone profile of lace around the glass. It smells like a cross between tropical fruit salad and mildly funky white Italian cheese, with some mild earthy drying hoppiness. The taste is rather multifaceted - grainy malt, some savoury spice - nutmeg and cardamom, with a twinge of black pepper, a bit of musty, yeasty funk, and leafy, earthy hops round it out. The carbonation is reserved in its bite, the body medium weight, and somewhat creamy in its undeniable smoothness. It finishes just a tad off-dry, the grain still overseeing a dance floor populated with sassy yeast, fruit, and wallflower hops.
A decent saison, the Euro-feel is there, but not gone too far south as the production origins would suggest. Funkier than usual, style-wise, but not exactly George Clinton territory. Lots going on, a promising offering from this upstart brewery from the land of vino.

Murky burnt orange colour. Big, fluffy, off-white head shows good retention. Lime and ginger aroma also shows floral, biscuit, and delicate pepper notes. Lime and ginger flavour up front with a delicate biscuit malt backing them. Finish is peppery with a gentle medicinal bitterness. Light-bodied with loads of fine carbonation create a mousse-like texture in the mouth. Light, complex, and spicy. A fine ale.

Golden yellow color, with a generous thick tight head on the pour. The smell shows the normal saison fruit flavors and light pepper.
A wonderfully balanced beer. The orange and corriander show nice and soflt upfront. Those flavors are quickly joined by a green pepper heat that helps to bring to life the traditional sassion flovors. The chamomile shows on the finish and helps to add full and roundness to the end which helps to keep the pepper flavors under control.
A great ale, and well worth the price

Had this on tap at Rich O's in New Albany, IN tonight...
Served in a tulip glass, the gold amber liquid was slightly cloudy with very small head and a little lacing. It did not have a very robust smell but was of peppery citrus coriander. Tasted like it smelled with the addition of a little of the usual funky yeast and some earth. Slightly puckering. Overall light mouthfeel. Really, not the best flavored saison and not that well balanced I don't think, too much pepper and lemon overshadowing the beer.

Bottle from LCBO.
Explosively carbonated, this was a foamer. Pleasant aroma, yielding corriander, some yeast and malts. Good tasting saison,mostly pepper and chamomile,and spicier than your average saison. smooth drinker outside of the carbonation. Worth a try.

Hazy golden body with a half-finger of decently retaining white head.
Smell is kinda pilsnery, a tad bitter with a hint of lemon and black pepper.
Taste is odd, there's an immediate pilsner bitterness, and plenty of black pepper, or even green bell pepper. The finish is not so bitter though, slightly bready.
Mouthfeel is great, smooth with an almost fluffy texture.
Overall, not something I'd try again. The bitterness really threw me though it diminished eventually. Could probably make some good food pairings, chicken or steak diane maybe.

375ml bottles passed at Brasserie V at a recent tasting
appearance: darkest of the saisons we had - murky dark straw body, thick beige head
smell: green peppercorns, ginger, chamomile and corriander. A strangely spiced saison for sure...
taste: green peppercorn provides a light amount of heat, chamomile evident in the finish. Ginger and corriander provide a nice flavor twist. Interesting, but after the fantome, thats about all it was
mouthfeel: boldly spiced but drinkable
drinkability: fine

Poured into my I&G tulip glass....
A- I love the mini champagne style bottle with the "new morning" label on it....everything else is in Italian. The beer itself has a brilliant head on it, being several fingers thick, and it retains very well, with the dense meringue like foam sticking around for a long time. The lacing is excellent as well with a lot of soapy suds clinging to the glass. The beer itself is golden in color, and very cloudy due to the yeast left in the bottle. Overall a very delicious looking brew!
S- There is a lot going on in the aromas here. There is distinct spice and fruit aromas, along with floral notes. The spice that I find is of some clove and spicier ginger, while the fruit comes from apricot pits and overripe banana. There is some hop presence but not overwhelming. I agree with another review that there is lots going on and it is hard to pick everything out.
T- Again, there is lots happening on the palate. This is a sweet, yet spicy brew with lots of Earthiness up front. The bittering fruit pits are noticeable to provide the freshness of the beer, and there is a slightly peppery/ginger quality in the flavor that really enhances the overall flavor. It's a truly unique, yet very enticing taste that keeps me coming back for more.
M- This is a drying beer, as I feel the need to have another sip almost right after the swallow. The body is medium and the carbonation is fairly mellow....just a little more than I thought there would be but it is of a fine nature and pops on the palate delicately. The floral nature found in the aroma is noticed in the aftertaste as well, which I find contributes to the overall dryness.
O- I haven't had too many Saison style beers, but this is a great beer in my opinion. I find it to be well balanced, and think it would be an excellent beer to enjoy with a pasta dish made with a rose sauce. I really didn't think an Italian brewery, such as this one, would be able to come up with something so good! I will probably get this again in the future, but it is expensive, so it will be in moderation....however, I do need to let my beer buddies know about this one!

Pours orangey amber with a massive, growing head that is threatening to turn into a mushroom cloud.
Nose shows ginger, citrus fruits, floral characters, tea and doughy yeasty notes. Also some green herbal notes.
Flavours focus on ginger but also show herbal, spicy hops.Some soft malt underneath. Pretty easy drinking stuff.
Too much carbonation.

Into a Duvel tulip, a whipped meringue foam appears, fluffy and voluminous. The body is a bright and glowing orange, with tiny unfiltered yeast particles floating within. A swirl rekindles the head, and it has a lasting effect. Bits of lace fleck the edges of the glass.
It's aroma is very fresh feeling, with flowers and chamomile herbs leading the nose. Citrus and hay, some light honey also. Very Spring-like.
Spicy taste at first, a little pepper, rose petals, and warming element of ginger possibly. I'm not a fan of ginger, but didn't mind it in this beer. Some orange zest and sun-dried straw, very quenching and refreshingly dry in the finish. An interesting medley of flavors, that push it into a more complex territory than many other Saisons. Not quite as quirky as Fantome, but it would appeal to that school of thought. Very pleasing and refreshing most of all.
(note: Reviewed when fresh, as a new arrival to the market. This beer is much more lackluster after it's been on the shelves awhile.)

Bottle: Poured a cloudy orangey color ale with a large foamy head with great retention and some good lacing. Aroma of fruity ester and bready yeast is very enticing with good notes semi-sweet Belgian style malt bill. Taste is very refreshing with light notes of apricot and a bready yeast with a solid malt backbone with well balanced sweetness. Body is quite full with limited filtration and good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Very well brewed and somewhat similar yeast to some of the Unibroue beers.

Bottle to Founders tulip. "Due Date" of 15 04 13
A - Very hazy orange that tapers to a golden yellow at the bottom. 3 fingers of bubbly off-white head formed and slowly receded to a thin layer with good retention.
S - Big clove aroma up front with some ripe banana and lighter citrus notes and spice. A slight crisp bitterness is evident in the background along with a slight malt sweetness.
T - Cloves, spice, Belgian yeast and a big floral presence are dominant. The big banana notes in the nose are present but more more muted than the nose indicated. The finish is dry and bitter.
M - Medium body, slightly creamy. Light to moderate carbonation.

On tap at The Blue Monk in Buffalo, NY.
Foamy pour, 3-4 inches of head. Light golden amber color to this one. Good lacing down the glass.
Smells spicy, peppery, with some apples, pears, and Belgian yeast.
The taste is pretty similar- very peppery and prickly taste to this one. Some ginger and what I guess is coriander, and some citrusy goodness as well, orange and lemon.
Full, pretty creamy mouthfeel, full body, well carbonated.
My first Italian craft beer, and it's a good one. Saisons will never be my favorite style, but I can still really appreciate this one.

@ Tasty Beverage
Hazy gold covered by a moderate layer of stable creaminess. Lovely aroma...herbal, floral, and spicy with a gentle sweetness, some dried fruit, and cereal grain. The flavor is more notably yeasty with softly sweet doughy notes and slight pepperiness. Not super spicy, but there is a dry and bitter floral quality. Medium-light body has some creaminess, though it seems to thin out towards the end of the glass and the carbonation is fairly gentle. A pretty nice Saison...

I saw this beer at my local beer store, and bought it solely based on the unusual bottle. This is my first experience with a saison style beer, and my third beer from Italy.
This beer pours a pale and hazy amber colour. There is a lot of carbonation floating up to the top, leading to a thick and foamy 2 finger head that shows no signs of going anywhere. I'm quite impressed.
The aroma is sweet pear and yeast, and slightly spicy. It's similar to some Belgian pale ales. quite nice.
The flavour is slightly sweet, with lots of fresh fruit flavour soming through. Towards the end, the malt character becomes more dominant, and hints of orange peel come through with a hint of hops.
Overall, I really like this beer. The flavour is subtle and layered, but still maintaining a high degree of drinkability.
