WILD FRUITED SAISON
A bright & highly effervescent oak-aged golden saison. Brewed with citrus peel, pink Himalayan salt, coriander, & clementine juice. Citrus & bready wheat in the aroma, tart & refreshing, with notes of citrus in the finish.
If you cut us, do we not bleed clementines...?

DTW Airport draught, 8/29/26.
Quite oaky, moderately lactic, maybe some salinity and spice but not really getting the fruit, which is fine.
Hmm, this tastes lightly oxidized. I'm guessing the "ordering a clementine spiced oak aged saison at the airport" crowd is about one person per month, so this is probably pretty old and I'm betting I'm getting the beer that has sat in the line for a while. Anyways, aside from the minor refermentation diacetyl and oxidation, it's quite lovely. The clementine comes out in the flavor, but delicately, with no huge acid. Nice oak presence giving wood and light vanilla. Tasteful on all angles. Chewy, wheat-like malt shows ample but not overdone body/texture.

Can. Pour is a very murky orange gold with very little head. Aromas are bold - lots of barnyard funk, a touch of orange, some honey. Amazing nose. Flavor is nice but I think the aroma is the highlight here. The funk mixes nicely with the orange flavors but the beer is a bit thin.

Pour looks like lemonade with a foamy quite white head. Nose is somewhat medicinal with a metallic tart olfactory. First taste is very tart up front then some bitter plastic saison thing starts to happen. Covers the alky content well. Some peppery aspects in the middle. Interesting off citrus notes. Sourness really makes it engrossing. Yes near the end of the session I find it gripping, compelling and compulsive. The finish comes too soon and this brew becomes captivating, engaging, enthralling & entrancing. Lots of milkshake crappy yeast dregs on the bottom of the can. This stuff evolved from mediocre tart to something darn good!

2024 can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a hazy, glowing straw gold with a finger of foam that dissipates. Funky nose with notes of brett, horseblanket, wet hay, pith and citrus zest. Bright on the palate with more citrus, brett and hay flavors. Dry with a note of mimosa. Nice pith and tartness on the finish. Really nice.

Bottle shared by Willrunforbeer. Flavor shows me mild citrus, light oak, light acidic hints. No vinegar which is a massive plus here! More tart rather than sour. Held on wonderful for a 2015 bottle.

Draft at The Jeffrey Craft Beer, Cocktails & Bites, 311 East 60th St, NYC. Pours hazy pale gold with a very small white head. Aroma of wheat, yeast, citrus and sour berries. Light to moderate sweetness, moderate bitterness, light sour, touch of salt. Light to medium body, slight oily texture, average to soft carbonation. Finish is dry, bitter sweet/sour. A very good saison.
