On tap at Teresa’s Next Door. Very light spicy nose, floral with a touch of honey and sweetness. Pale golden clear with light haze. Thin white lacing head. Medium body with medium carbonation. Nice saison. Mildly spicy with a bit of tart note. Watery finish but pleasant after.

bottle-conditioned 750ml, date unknown. early pour is mostly clear gold with a fine off-white head. mildly sweet honey / simple syrup sugar in the nose with a baked biscuit and just-toasted grain malt character and a soft, floral and soap-like yeast; dandelion and apricot esters with a mild touch of buttered bread. highly effervescent; medium sweetness; medium to heavy bitterness, especially late; medium prickly acid. mild flavor throughout, similar to the smell but with more of the buttered, baked biscuit malt and less of the apricot / floral yeast. there’s a sharp pineapple acidity that’s just metallic enough to suggest ethyl butyrate. overall a bit rough texture-wise, and a bit stale, but the nose is quite nice and improves as the beer warms and opens.

Bottle at Dans shared with friends. Poured golden appearance with a crisp white head. Somewhat funky, lemon peel, spice, pepper, clove, and wheat in the aroma. Citrus zest, white pepper, peppercorns, banana, fruity esters, floral hops, grass, and honey. Light and crisp body with great carbonation that just explodes in your mouth. Really light and easy to drink. Nice summer beer.

Typical saison aroma, fruity and a little funky. Nice, fruity but slightly malty flavor. Not bad, easy drinkin’.
