50th Saison rating. Woohoo! 750 ml bottle thanks to lukaduke. Pours a semi hazy gold, solid white head of foam. The aroma has nice acidity coming through. Funky and bready. Sweet and sour come out in the taste with a lot of fruity acidity. Love this beer!

Bottle in a trade a while back. Pour is a glorious cloudy gold with a rocky white head. Aroma is bursting with orange, light barn funk, faint saison spice, light acidic notes, and light herbal notes. Flavor is tart and citrusy up front with notes of lemon peel and orange. Then spicy saison notes kick in with a juicy and spicy finish. Just a great beer. Another hit from this brewery.

Bottle poured a pale hazy yellow with a three finger pillow of a head. Beautiful retention, and beer overall.
Flavor and nose was saison yeast, honey, slight tartness with one crack of fresh pepper. Incredible balance between tart and sweetness. Hard to believe this is a shelf beer

This poured a somewhat hazy yellow color with a white head. Aroma was of light citrusy hops, some light spices and peppery notes, brett, and lemon peel. Flavor was more tart than expecting, pushing towards almost a sour ale, but still enough spice and yeast components to show it is a saison. Crackery, yeast, and lemons mainly.
