Slightly unclear deep golden colour, small frothy white head, dissipating slowly, good lacing. Aroma pale malt, brett, light vinegar, barnyard, wood. Mild taste, light to medium sweet and sour, malty, light tart, woody notes. Retronasal tart, soft sweet and sour aftertaste, fruity notes, some wood. Medium body, creamy texture, average carbonation, decent example of a mild saison.

Shared @ Koelschtrinker's tasting. Smooth mild sourish funky beginning. Not too deep, sessionable with a fruity and slightly funky ending. No bitterness, fruitiness there with a very soft and not too deep aftertaste. Good Session-beer!
