Style: Saison
Dexter, Michigan USA

On cask at Redlight. Pours a light orange amber with a thick tan head. Apple sour dry aroma. Taste is dry tart, apple and slightly sour. Very light and refreshing. Finishes very clean with a sour bitterness. I am not really a sour fan, but this is really tasty.

Bottle, 12 oz. First of all, this beer has the most head of any beer I’ve ever tasted, seen, whatever. If, like some of the raters below, you don’t get a head, you have the wrong beer, a bad beer, or you have the most gentlest pouring motion ever witnessed on our planet. The lacing is so thick, it’s more like horizontal head growing from the side of the glass, a freaking wide-mouthed trappist glass! My lord. No head??? What??? What are people rating here??? Ok, anyway. Aroma of grass, light hops, funk, sourness, earthiness, meadowness, lusciousness. Flavor expands on these notes with complex earthy/sour/grainy notes. A nice balance between sweet and dry. Fantastic brew, and terribly underrated at 3.67.

Finally tried this one. From a bottle at Raleigh WBF. I loved this beer. Funky, earthy, spicy, sour with hints of summer fruits and some floral notes. Nice wild yeast, good oak, but not over the top at all. A unique saison, for sure. Can’t wait to pick this up at Sam’s soon.

Unfiltered honey colored body with a big white soapy active head. Aroma of citrus fruit, spice, and yeast. It is a wonderfully colorful aroma being complex and layered. Flavor is more tart than the aroma would indicate. It is honey, grapefruit, pineapple, pepper. Mildly bitter. Carbonation is very active in the mouth. I do like the lower ABV.

Beautiful clear dark golden body huge beautiful white head, some sparkle; Amazing nose laid back, fresh and happy, lots and lots of of amazing aromas ripe mandarin, bergamot, tons of flowers and ripe pomelo; The body is a little thin for the quite big amount of hoppy bitterness, watery textured (in a good way), bitter, with only a very little acidity, huge soft big bubbled carbonation; Long finish where the bitterness takes a little to much control and together with the yeast makes it a little to dry, lots of spicy dry hop and grapefruit peel aromas.

Hazy orange with big white head and nice lacing and a bit of chunky sediment.Aroma is pineappley with a slight milk protein hint. Flavor is light with pineapple again, and other citrus, with a biscuity underbelly. Soft carbonation. Get more sour as it warms. $2.50/12oz

This beer has a light yellowish orange body with a trace of head. The aroma is very interesting. It has a ton of grassy notes and even a little bit of fertilizer smell. The flavor is much more mild than the aroma, perhaps because it is very carbonated. Almost like champagne. The flavor is much more like honey and a tiny bit of citrus- grapefruit and lime. I think this needed to be warmer.

Love the label. Big fan of Bull Terriers. Not much else about this beer pleases me. Cloudy amber body with a fizz head. Aroma was nondescript. Mainly yeast, if pressed to note. The flavor was a bit better. A hint of banana, some malt, pepper. The high rating surprises me. Maybe I missed something.
