Sampled on draught at the brewpub. Pours a cloudy bright yellow colour. Aroma is of lemons honey and flowers. Taste is wheaty and tart, slighty citrusy sourness. Otherwise nice beer.

Corn. There shouldn’t be corn flavor in a saison. A little sour, some wild yeast. This beer is all over the place. I love the style but this recipe needs refinement.

Draft pour from the brewpub. Hazy yellow appearance with fast dissapating head. Yeast, and malt aroma. Definite sweet honey and citrus flavor with a tart/bitter finish. A decent Saison.

Growler, courtesy of Skyview. Hazy yellow color with a thin head. Strong, bready aroma, slightly herbal. Light orange, sweet honey and herbs for the taste. A bit of a soured finish.

On draught at the brewpub in downtown Mt Horeb, Wisconsin. Pours a hazy golden blonde brew with fast dissolving white head that quickly dissipates to a fine white ring. Aroma of banana, light cloves, yeast, some golden grain malt, honey and a touch of herbs. Taste is medium bodied, some carbonation with flavors of golden grain malt, some honey, light cloves and a touch of lemon. Finish is semi-sweet at first that changes to a tart lemon and crisp aftertaste. Some multi personality character going on with this saison.
