Beer is sweet tart, citrusy with a long clean finish that is also sweet and tart. Good body.

Pours a somewhat cloudy straw from a bottle. Nice tart lemon and grass aroma. Flavor is bright citrus, tart, but rather thin. First sip was almost too sweet, like I'm going to have acid reflux because of how sweet and acidic this is. Later sips don't really have that though. Good beer.

Bright yellow color. Moderate carbonation. An unexpected combination of balsamic vinegar, lightly tart yeast, earth. Clean on the palate; it is quickly gone after the sip with very lottlr aftertaste. This would pair well with food. It is sour enough that it is more of a sour or wild ale than a saison.

Champagne like farmhouse ale. Very light and yeasty.

Poured from a 750 ml bottle. Aroma is somewhat bland. Light grain notes with a bit of Brett character. Some pinepaple and tropical fruit with hints of citrus. Light chardonnay notes with a bit of red apple and some light oak notes. Pours a somewhat clear,but slight hazy with a medium sized, fairly thin, white head that recedes quickly to the edges where it lingers for a bit. Moderate lacing and no legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with a light acidity and dry finish. Light grain notes with moderate chardonnay character and a bit of oak. Some light fruit notes with red apple, grapes, pineapple and citrus. Medium low bitterness and a light phenolic note. Mouthfeel is light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a somewhat plain, but easy drinking and enjoyable beer. Nice Brett and barrel notes.

750ML very hazy, nice yellow appearance. has a little fecal aroma but otherwise it’s a nice bright beer. more fecal but still. lemon-cake, wood, brett and a little lacto to finish things off. coats the tongue and makes the teeth slightly chalky. really well done stuff
