No cork or wire cage here. We’re getting back to the spirit of a Saison as a beer you can drink every day, not just special occasions. A refreshing and complex beer, ours is brewed without the addition of any spices, however the Belgian yeast adds notes of citrus, peppercorn, and coriander.

Can pour. Pours a dark yellow with a mild citrus aroma. A sweet beer, with a little tartness as well. Tropical citrus fruit flavor with some yeast too. I think this one may be a little too sweet. Good beer overall, but doesn’t really have much spice which I typically love about saisons. Overall I enjoyed this though. Good beer.

16 ounce can. Pours a clear orange color with a small white head. An odd sweaty fruity nose. The flavor is dry dusty malts, lemons, odd funky sweaty feet flavors. Ok.

One pint can. Pours a clear gold with full head of big bubbles. Aromas of dried apples, bananas, and resin. Flavors are similar with more emphasis on resin. Possibly some cloves. Not sure what this is supposed to be.

500mL can, pours a completely clear pale yellow with a huge foamy white head. Nose is fairly subtle, with light notes of yeast, banana, clove and some citrus fruit. Flavour brings out grassy hops, some citrus, a little clove and of course, Belgian yeast. Fairly yeasty, grassy and citrusy - certainly not a traditional farmhouse-style ale / saison by any means. Nevertheless, light, refreshing and highly drinkable. Solid canned saison.

One Pint Can. Odd aroma of sour citrus and dough. Pale and hazy. Rich, but light, grainy wheat flavours with a nice finish.

Sample at the brewery taproom. Pours a slightly hazy yellow-gold color with a thin and fizzy white head that burns away quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of malt and faint hops. Light body with flavors of grainy malt, wheat and mildly bitter hops. Some fruit in the background. The finish is short with a slightly tart fruit aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.
