Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: bright yellow color with some transparency and a finger's worth of white foamy head which quickly dissipated and didn't leave any lace
Aroma: lemon notes, subtle sour; subtle lacto/yogurty; nice tart level with some sweet grass and/or lemongrass
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a sour and tart quality; finishes tart and slightly funky with the lacto parts
Texture: light bodied, leaning into being a sipper due to the sour and tart levels acting fairly assertive; not as much smoothness
Overall: not a bad sour saison, but boy oh boy, it's one you might want some water after this one.

16oz can pours a pale gold with a little haze and some fizzy head that faded fast. Nose has lemon and brine and straw. Lactic. Flavor has a little grist, lemony, some bright salinity. Tart finish but not exceedingly. Basically dry. Funny it's listed as a sour farmhouse ale because it reads basic Berliner.

Publick House, Brookline tap: pours light golden with a white head. Aroma is mildly lactic and some fruitiness. Taste is moderately sour. Pretty solid flavor. It is ok.

Sample at the taproom. The beer is a slightly hazy straw-gold color with a thin white head that evaporates quickly to a wispy film. Spotty lacing. Aroma of tart fruit, yeast and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of tart citrus, herbal yeast and doughy malt. The finish is mildly tart with a citrusy aftertaste. Above average overall.

Can at home in London - picked up at the brewery. Pours mostly clear yellowish gold with a small, fading white froth topping. Lightly effervescent. The nose has a lot of lemon in it, a little hay, grapefruit. Light sweet flavour, fairly tart and quenching, with minimal bitterness, a little lemon rind, some tangy lemon and lime, a little salty note. Light bodied with active, massaging carbonation. Refreshing finish, with further lemony tartness, hints of passion fruit, rind. Fairly straightforward, but really crisp and quenching.

It’s a slightly hazy yellow. no head. Smells like a lemon crispy piece of bread. Honey and a lot of sour lemon flavor. juicy finish of grapefruit. it’s a lime sort of sour flavor. Nice mouthfeel but leaves a chalky sulphur flavor. more like a berliner than a saison. in fact, a little salty.

1 pint can. Pours cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is mild yeasty, slight fruity. Sour. Fruity. Citric. Dry and lingering sourish to citrusy. Lasting citric fruity finish.

16 oz can. Aroma is lemon juice, light pale grain, lactic acid. The flavor is really heavy in the lactobacillus. Super tart with a harsh pucker in the tastebuds. Sharp. The body is light.
I really like this brewery but this sour just really isn’t my kind of thing. Hard for me to enjoy more than 4 oz.
