Bottle shared at the Sander Stag. Pours clear yellow-gold with a big, frothy white head. Nice lemon peel aroma, yeast, hay. Light-medium sweet flavour, with more saison yeast bites, melon, peach, white grape, lemon. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Pretty clean on the finish, with more juicy citrus character, light biscuit and hay, lemon rind. Solid.

Bottle pours with a nice looking opaque gold body that supports a white head of foam. The aroma offers up a sweet earthy sort of grainy malt sensation as well as a dash of smokiness. Interesting, this is a smooth inviting aroma. The taste has a punchy sort of feel to it. I get grainy malts and malt infused yet sort of bright spicy Saison yeastiness. Intermingled with these notes are citrusy and spicy hoppiness that prevent this big Saison from becoming too heavy and sweet. This is pretty solid as it has plenty of balance, punchiness and a degree of refreshment.
