Picked this up at the farmer’s market a few weeks ago. Enjoyed in a Hill Farmstead glass. Almost non-existant head. Dark orange brown appearance. Spicy and wheaty scent. Hints of candied sugar and bready yeast. Delicious. Lots of rye characters, big wheat profile, hints of honey and sugars. Some spice like coriander in here. Dry mouth feel and light body.

Draught at Farm House Tap and Grill. Huge rye nose, pepper, spicy, light esters, hay and farmyard. Great nose. Amber with lace. Flavor is wheat, rye, pepper. Very malty and grainy, sweet and thick. Peppery finish. Nice but a bit bland. Body is a bit thick and heavy—hops don’t come through, but the rye is very nice.

Pretty average saison. Easy to drink, easy to go down. Not too much hay or anything, so easy for the average beer drinker with a little bit of spice to it. A little bit of hay, a little bit of yeast. Not much lacing, not much head. On tap at Farmhouse Tap and Grill.

22oz bottle pours a hazy orange with a frothy, white head. Nice, spicy aroma, cloves, orange peel, yeast, perfume. Flavor is where the rye really shines through, sweet, spicy, yeast, a little clove, honey. Medium bodied, lightly dry.

Wash. DC tasting. hazy golden, white head. aroma, full on rye goodness, sweet and some spices, strawberry like nose, pureed fruit like apricot. flavors, plenty of rye, light spicy mouthfeel is thick with the Saison yeast being a tad drown in the whole rye aspect of the beer. Mouthfeel is grainy with some mild caramel malts for a dry finish.

Bomber at DC local tasting. Nice aroma of pumpernickel and rye bread. Taste is sour with a bit of orange peel. Very tasty stuff.
