Draught: Huge yellow orange straw - thin film of white is persistent on top. Large orange, leathery aroma that has a fairly interesting animal hair component and some wild earthiness. Well rounded and semi-funky at times with flavours of iron, sunflowers, whole dry hop cones, and sour wine. The body and palate were on the thin side, but these other interesting notes made up for it. What an attempt for a sparkling clean brewery in the Chicago suburbs!

Hazy amber with a fluffy off-white head. Fairly funky spicy hop nose. Citrus, a little pine and some sweetness. Somewhat thin body. Starts off soft and sweet with fruits and spice. A strong bitterness comes across in the lingering finish. It was pleasant to find a place where people will try to make a saison, not the best ever, but refreshing nonetheless.
