Not as spicy as it could have been heat wise but it has a spiced taste, def interplays with the saison yeast.

Pours a straw color with a white had of foam. Lots of lemon zest and earthy tartness. Sort of a dry sourness. Light and dry spicy pepprcorn.

Bottle with Janine, Pat, and some weird bearded brah dude. Notes of crazy florals, light peppercorn, brett, wet musky wood, and dry fruits yo. Not a whole lot of peppercorn. This is damn fine for a saison. Thit.

Tap @ Mikkeller Bar. Pours hazy golden with a creamy white head. Aroma of malt, yeast, spice, herbs, fruit and green grapes. Flavor is malt, yeast, fruity, spice, yeast. Medium body, lively carbonation, refreshing dry finish. 070313

Sampled at an rsbls tasting. Hazy golden with a blotchy off white head. An aroma of swert fruit and funky brett. Flavor is not quite ad nice but the funk comes through along with yeast and malts. Some spice, too.

Hazy gold beer, tidy white head. Light palate, semi dry. Brett like sourness with well balanced lemon citrus. A touch of herb. Dry finish with a pinch of pepper. Pretty bloody good Saison!
