Pours a hazy light yellow with a paperthin head. Aroma of amazingness, saison yeast, funk, oak, and white wine. Taste is funk, grapes, oak, saison yeast and more funk. Slightly tart, fruity yet dry. so balanced, so complex. I cant get over how amazing this beer is. I have a decent amount of tired hands’ beers and loved almost all of them but this is on a whole other level. Wow, just wow

Damn what a beer. Thank you so much Josh Young. I mean THANK YOU! Pours a hazy yellow color with a nice white head. Aroma of saison yeast, dry white wine, light oak, yeast, grassy notes sneak in. Flavor is so unique and awesome. I get a hint of white wine, some wild grapes, oak, yeast, light vinegar notes...the balance of this beer is stunning. Wow.

Bottle, very generously shared by GT2 at RBWG. He put the bottle right in front of me and Adam and it sat there for about 15 mins as we tirelessly ticked everything around us. Great looking label--as if I would expect anything less from Gene. The beer did not disappoint. In fact, this and the 3F A&T were probably my favorite beers I tried at the grand tasting. This reminded me a lot of HF Ann which makes sense at it has a very similar treatment. Fuck yes. I wrote this twice in my notes. This is always a good thing. Pretty incredible this is only 5%. Thanks again, GT. Jean, keep up the great work!

Rating #900!!! Cloudy yellow pour with a white head. Yeasty, grassy with some wine and fruitiness thrown in. Grapes with some oak, funk and light tartness. What a great saison!!

500 mL, green waxed bottle. Served in TH stemware. Pours a chilled hazy gold with a small white head and soft lacing. Remarkable, delicate balance of fruit, yeast and wine in nose and flavor. White wine, oak, orange peel, faint earthiness on the nose. Ok, I’m about to say something crazy but flavor initially hit me like the first time I had Ann (fresh). The base, Farmhands, is a bright, refreshing grassy and lemon saison and the barrel aging has turned this into a beautiful beer that transcends what I expect from the style. Loads of lemon, sweet tropical citrus, white wine and mild oak tannin and grassy hops provide balance in the finish. Medium body, effervescent and crisp with light acidity. I will happily drink the rest of my bottles, and soon.

good stuff. lemon zest, grass, lightly tart, tons of vanilla and oak. Brett presence is light and fresh, apple orchards and fresh grass.

Bottle @ Stephen’s house, courtesy of arminjewell. Thanks! Pours a milky yellow, light orange appearance with a white head. White wine, a bit cheesy, sweet grainy, vanilla, light guava, a bit spicy, beautiful aroma. Fairly dry, but quite frutiy, pineapple, lemon, guava, vanilla, a bit grainy, white wine, sweet oaky flavor. So fucken good.

UPDATED: JAN 19, 2013 Bottle into Tired Hands stemware. Pours a moderately-hazy straw color with a nice white head. Good retention and some mild lacing. The nose begins with a bit of white wine and a bit of oak. Touch of tannin and light saison yeast. Mild sulfur in the background. Flavor showcases the wine barrel fermentation. Great wine character carries through the base. Body is incredibly smooth, providing a nice wheat background underneath mild flavors of white wine and oak, plus a faint bit of lemon and slight tartness. Body is light with a very dry finish. Very slight bitterness. Super drinkable. Love it.

Pour out of 500 mL bottle, thanks to Kerry for the brew! Clear/slightly hazy yellow pour with thin white head, aroma brought notes of big oak, nice funk, vanilla, white grape, nice grape, pineapple, peach notes, going into some slight grass, nice lemon notes, hints of grapefruit, wow. Taste is a mix of nice grass, pine, spice notes up front going into biscuit, bread, nice white grape, oak, touch of peach, pear, finishing fairly sweet, more mango and pineapple notes, very refreshing. This is fantastic.

Big thanks to GT2 for this bottle! Bright florescent yellow pour with a small white head. Nose and flavor bring funky washed rind, cheesecloth, bright peach and nectar fruit funk, reminiscent of Brett C. Light white wine character, yogurt, and unripe nectarine. Gorgeous, perfectly light and fluffy mouthfeel. Like Ann, just not quite on that ethereal level. Nevertheless, an absolutely masterful creation. Outstanding.
