Can courtesy of dalzale, thanks greg. This is a nice little saison, with a peppery vibe to it. Not my favorite surly brew to date, but definitely drinkable.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at Stub and Herb’s in Minneapolis. Pours a clear golden colored body with a finger-width, dense and creamy, white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a nice lacing. Aroma is sweet and fruity with a good amount of spicy Belgian yeast. Sweeter pale malts, caramel, honey, apricots, a light orangey citrus, pepper, floral hops, some bread, and a touch of bubble gum. Flavor is similar. Lots of sweet pale malts, caramel, and honey balanced well with a good amount of spicy Belgian yeast. More fruity florals with apricots, light citrus, and tropical fruits. Finishes somewhat sweet with a light-moderate, earthy and spicy bitterness with some faint tart citrus. Lengthy aftertaste following a medium, smooth body and a moderate, soft carbonation. Overall, a pretty cool beer. Lots going on with a solid balance of flavors. Fairly sweet, fruity, and a nice spiciness.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
From a can into a glass at home.Opaque blond color. Nose is delicate and attractive. Some earthy/grassy hops, a bit of honeysuckle, smells more like springtime than a cynic, but whatever. Marketing be damned! Quite sweet -- lots of honey, grassy/floral hops, some white pepper spiciness. Lots of flavor for a rather lithe palate. Almost too sweet for me, but the cloying qualities are balanced by near perfect levels of carbonation. Solid.

Can. Pour is a unclear yellow orange with a soapy head which dissipates to a ring on top. Aroma has yeast and malt which reminds me of juicyfruit. Taste is sweet malt and lemons with bubblegum and some booze as well. Palate is slick yet sticky and finishes dry.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
A-pours a lighter golden amber color, quite bright, pure white head, tight and a little bubbly with huge lace on the glass.
S-toasted bread in the nose, light lemon, wheat, grain, hint of citrus.
T-the taste brings lots of crusted bread, notes of lemon, a fair amount of grain, faint citrus and floral hop back. very light bitterness.
M-medium to light body, huge carbonation, very crisp clean finish, slightly syrupy and soft feel.
D-this is a decent brew, interesting crusted bread flavor, not a ton of typical saison characteristics. tons of carbonation.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
can thanks to Tharreld. hazy orange pour with a 2 finger white head which falls to a thin wispy lacing. The aroma is filled with Belgian yeast qualities: banana, bubblegum and light citrus. thin to medium body with some grassy notes up front, light bitterness, smooth banana sides with honey and light spices. flat carbonation. bitter, sweet finish that feels dry and pleasant - really the shining part of the beer.
