The aromas are yeast, dust, dry white wine. Flavors are similar to nose, traditional European saison qualities at first with some bitter Band-Aid finish. Decent body and carbonation. One and done.

Refrigerated 0.5 brown bottle poured into a glass. Clear pale golden with very small head. Aroma is light yeast, medium body, low carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is yeast with dry finish.

Bottle from Turdferguson, undated (Grrrr), drunk 5/30/16.
Fair enough appearance, with a sparkling golden body, high clarity and a white head showing moderate retention.
More wet leaves, bread, hay and light table sugar notes in the nose remind of the oatmeal pale somewhat. Or I guess that’s just the house character in general, which I have to say, needs a little work. It’s neither overly funky/rustic, on one end of the spectrum, or clean/bright/snappy on the other. Just sort of bready, doughy, vaguely peppery/clove-like and with the mushy malts not helping things at all.
Lots of bread, light clove, simple sugars and a slightly fizzy carbonation, with "hard" specialty malt textures at times. As well, and probably the biggest offender, it remains too sweet on the finish, with borderline caramel flavors building up.

Draft at Churchkey. Poured a light yellow color with a small white head. Aroma was light herbal notes, lemon peel, light citrus. Flavor had a nice lemony character, light earthy hops, straw.
