Bottle sampled. Pours hazy pale golden with a large white fizzy head. Aroma of citrus, apples, spices, and some wood. The flavor is sweet, apples, citrus, spices, and bitterness. Good brew.

Bottle (375ml). Shared with GregClow, my bottle via trade with Boutip. Tons of floaties in the bottom of this one - poured - evenutally - cloudy pale yellow with a huge fluffy lasting white head. Aroma of lemon, light peppery yeast, apple/pineapple sweet malt - noticeably sour, but not too sour. Taste - very light sweet apple malt, mild spice, quite a fresh light grassy hop bitterness to balance it - sadly, the flavour is a bit on the thin side. Watery body, mild everything - acidity, carbonation, mouthfeel - refreshing, and as it warmed, the yeast and spice emerged and made this quite enjoyable.

Bottle shared with HogTownHarry - hos bottle. Initial pour is a very clear golden with a good sized white head. Follow-up pour is hazy with some chunky floaty bits. Nose is a bit funky and vaguely skunky/herbal, with notes of citrus and pineapple, coriander and yeast. Body is somewhat thin, but crisp and refreshing. Flavour is very interesting - fairly sweet off the top, mild medicinal notes, some hay/grass, lemon, mellow hops. Quite good!

I really enjoyed this beer, definately keep your thumb over the cork as you untwist the wire cage. On the light end of the saison spectrum in color and flavor, but it didn’t lack complexity. Really hit the spot, very enjoyable beer.

I can smell little more than the funk. Light in color big head that sticks around for about 3 minutes than dissipates quickly. Hyperactive bubbles. Tarter than other saisons I tried. Slight skunk. Slight bitterness. Sticky, tingly mouth feel. Carbonation feels more soda like than I am used to. It also kinda dries out my mouth. Overall it’s good. Not my favorite saison but good.
