Growler, courtesy of Skyview. Hazy yellow color with a thin head. Strong, bready aroma, slightly herbal. Light orange, sweet honey and herbs for the taste. A bit of a soured finish.

On draught at the brewpub in downtown Mt Horeb, Wisconsin. Pours a hazy golden blonde brew with fast dissolving white head that quickly dissipates to a fine white ring. Aroma of banana, light cloves, yeast, some golden grain malt, honey and a touch of herbs. Taste is medium bodied, some carbonation with flavors of golden grain malt, some honey, light cloves and a touch of lemon. Finish is semi-sweet at first that changes to a tart lemon and crisp aftertaste. Some multi personality character going on with this saison.

On tap at the Grumpy Troll Brew Pub. Poured a medium and cloudy yellow color with a very small size dhead. Aromas of woodiness, earthy, and some fruitiness. Tastes of earthiness, fruity, honeycomb, and some spices. Light sour finish.
