Pours the color of a honey champagne blend...tight, soapy, yeasty head that goes pretty quickly on first pour - a little more staying power second time ’round. Nice wheat/yeast haze - almost lemon-ish color.
Bountiful, austere wheat and yeast - even a little sour milky Pilsener scent. A little soft oak and some very mellow coriander and orange zest.
This is tight with electricity. Hops have tight, micely astringent pine on them. Alcohol is there but balanced with hardcore yeast, wheat and oak. Complex - could even use warmth. Nice.
Decent, light tingle from solid carbonation. Citrusy and pine astringency provides a nice hop & sour pucker. Classic Saison tightness - like it’s constrained from the barrel.
This is very enjoyable - maybe abundance of flavor and feel preclude supreme drinkability but this is a good late afternoon warmup. Could it age or need warmth? Great classic Saison.

Decent but not as good as their Carnevale Ale saison. Hazy golden color, aroma of light fruits and mild funk. Flavor is pale malt, pear, and citrus fruits. Slight lingering funk on finish.
