3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Pours a clear amber color with a moderate off-white head on it. Nose definitely has some of that saison funk to it - yeasty and slightly sour that definitely conjures up images of the farmhouse. Taste is decently sour without any residual sweetness. Feel is a bit thick and slightly heavy.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
On Tap. Pours a hazy golden orange, ample head. Aroma is an earthy and spicy mix. Taste ripe fruit and citrus mix, grassy and spicy as well. Nice blend of flavors, complex. Dry, slight pepper finish.

Split this one with Hopswagger.
Half of a 750 ml bottle poured into a Duvel Tulip glass.
A - Pours a hazy golden orange with 1.5 fingers of white head.
S - Floral hops, lemon and orange citrus, dry chalky yeast, orchard pears, apples, and bright stone fruit. Straw dust, there’s a musty but clean damp basement aroma going on.
T - Orchard fruit-pears, apples skins, stone fruit, tangerines, earthy grass, wood, spicy musty yeast, the sweet pale malt quickly dries out on the finish.
M - Soft effervescent carbonation, medium bodied, dries out on the finish.
This was better than I expected. All the flavors played their part. It was fruity, musty, and dry. This is worth seeking out. Wish I had another bottle.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A little to light for my liking when it comes to a saison. Still well done with a nice tangy citrus flavor.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
750 mL bottle. Pours orange, with a big, pillowy, off-white head. Apricots and apples up front, with some notes of herbs, biscuits, and black pepper. The flavor is very sweet and citrusy, with a very faint sourness in the finish. Light to medium body, dry, and lightly astringent. Overall, this is a good, refreshing, and tasty saison. It lacks some of the complexity I’ve come to expect, but still, not bad.
