12 ounce can. Hazy orange brown color. Earthy, yeasty, malty aroma. Tangy, sour malt flavor has notes of toasted bread, funky yeast and old orange peels. Quite unique as beers from Oxbow go. Medium bodied. Tangy and herbal with tea-like notes. Definitely a Saison of another color.

On tap at HaandFest. A lightly hazy dark golden-orange beer with a nice white head leaving lacing. Pale malts and a light bready touch in the back of the aroma, biscuits too, with a subtle scent of pine cones, grass and yeast. Quite fruity. It's dry on the palate, medium bodied and nicely carbonated, with a mostly fruity flavor. Nice bitterness too. Biscuits, light bread, grass and some pine cones. Long, dry, light bitter finish. A quenching beer that gives the impression of being stronger than it's 4% ABV. 170526

Draught at Novare Res, 3/6/16.
Deep orange-copper colored body shows a very gentle haze and a large, off-white head that shows moderate retention.
Fruity, almost juicy hops in the nose give way to tons of bread. Light sourdough and, unfortunately, a bit of iced tea-like crystal malt. Black and white pepper phenols, tons of dry, yellow fruit esters and no alcohol or flaw.
In the mouth, I can’t help but be put-off by the crystal malt. It adds a very husky/scratchy character and the beer is borderline too dry. The juiciness of the hops and enjoyable esters definitely save it, while the ample carbonation keeps it fairly crisp on the end. I get theyre trying to simulate the more rustic malts of days past, but I really am hard pressed to enjoy this much specialty malt apparency in my saisons. Sure it comes off nicely rustic and with complex malt/grain characteristics, but the resulting texture is lacking, as well as there being too much breadiness and scratchiness. All that being said, it’s only 4% abv and still a well-brewed beer, so I can certainly appreciate just sucking it up and drinking it.
Draught at the brewery, 10/21/16 and Gravity Cask at Goods From The Woods, 10/22/16.
It was a bit softer on cask, unsurprisingly, with a little bit more maltiness coming through, but despite retrying this thing, I just can’t get past the big, grainy, bready specialty malt character. I love dry, but this goes just a bit too far, IMO.
