Hazy yellow 1 finger cream head. Smells like lemon peel and sweet fruits. Lemony peel and banana and clove and some interesting fruit herbal medicinal finish. Falls short at the end.

Pours a fairly pale straw yellow color. The liquid is quite hazy but still transparent enough to see my fingers through. This is a bar pour, so it’s hard to judge the head, but it looks pretty much medium in size, white and full of fine bubbles - it does swirl up easily, so maybe it would be pretty big out of a bottle. Some lacing, head fades fairly quickly. Aroma is clean with fresh grain. The brett and lacto are both pretty mild. There’s just a hint of yogurt, which I find kinda surprising. Some apricots, hay, a very light touch of funk. Good dose of earthy, saisony yeast. Taste is light, bright and refreshing. Mild lemon rind flavor. More fresh grain. Maybe a touch of grass. A little bit dusty. Very light on the palate. Mildly effervescent. Solid beer but it’s more of a mild refreshing saison than expected. It’s the kind of beer that I could drink all the time. Excellent Summer beer, just wish it had a bit more character.

12 oz draft at the Cellarmaker tap room in San Francisco, California. The pour is a hazy golden yellow with a smallish white head. The aroma is grassy malt, a soft citrus lemon and a clove yeastiness. The Brett is present as well, drying the nose out a bit and giving it a bit of an outdoor quality. The taste is a simple blend of the grass, lemon and herbal clove drying Brett. The Brett does not feel fully expressed in this beer, though it does lend it a nice edge. The palate is medium bodied, soft carbonation and the dry finish. Really solid, easy drinking beer. Right up my alley.
