Fairly clear golden color with a booming white head. The aroma is funk, floral and fresh fruits, I’m thinking pear, apple and banana. Light-bodied, crisp and very refreshing. The flavors are barnyard funk and fruity, mostly the same noted in the aroma with perhaps the addition of peaches. I pick up some clove as well. A light acidic spice mixes in nicely bringing the flavors together. This isn’t overly complex but just flat out tasty and drinkable with no real flaw and I’m fine with that. A damn fine drink really.

Decent offering, but lacks anything to set it apart. Middle tier Saison that makes it very drinkable, but does not have anything to set itself apart from others brewed in this style.
