Pours very frothy from bomber bottle but only leaves moderate lacing. Fairly hop-forward for a Saison but withdraws quickly, leaving mostly bready flavors with a sweet banana aftertaste. Fairly light. Good but not outstanding.

Yeasty in taste. Alcohol is really well hidden. Good one.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle at Bluebird. Pours a ruddy tannish-blonde with a fluffy white head. Very effervescent. Nose is really fantastic, lots of tart and tangy notes, soft graininess and some floral hop notes. Nice white pepper comes across as well. Earthy and Bretty-like. On tasting, it is super dry and refreshing. Subtle tartness, firm but perfect bitterness. Malt profile is pretty robust across the palate, grainy and fresh. Really nice beer once you get past the carbonation.
