On tap at Blue monk. Hazy orange pour with a white head that is a bit creamy. Aroma is tart and bright with some spice. Starts tart up front, moves into some hay and yeast, into a nice slow bitter finish and after taste. Really smooth mouth feel throughout.

unclemike (1889) - Ft. Riley, Kansas, USA - MAR 14, 2013
This one poured a slightly hazy golden color. There was a good sized white head on it that left some lacing. This one has a complex nose. Grassy, earthy, spicy, yeasty, floral, some lemon. It has an equally good taste. I like the little kick of bitterness in there. A bit of citrus and slight piny hops, earthiness, coriander, This is a very nice brew.

Orange, white head. Nose is tart, funk, vinous. Taste is white wine, honey, vinous, not as tart as nose would suggest. Tart, dry finish.

TURDFERGUSON (3567) - Carrboro, North Carolina, USA - MAR 1, 2013
Tap at Kickbacks. Pours a hazy orange yellow with a steady fizzy white head. Nose is dry, light grass, lightly funky, oak, bready malt, brett. Flavor is similar, quite funky and bretty, light oak. Really nice saison and one of the better BFM beers I have had of recent. Thanks for alerting me to this, GT.

drowland (4992) - Jacksonville, Florida, USA - FEB 26, 2013
2/26/13. On tap at Kickback’s. Thanks, Steve! Hazy orange pour with a small frothy khaki head that fades to a ring and barely laces. Nice sour aroma with sweet vinegar and lots of acidic citrus. Tart flavor with a bit of funk and wood, some sweet and sour cherries, and lingering dryness that begs for another sip. Nice! More RBWG people should have rated this!
