Bottle. Aroma has touch of rhubarb. Taste is decent, little bit of rhubarb, quite peppery and spicy, but not overwhelmingly exciting. Best of the day so far. Bit creamy, decent enough, but where's the barrel again? Easy drinking. Feels a lot like the same beer as last year with a new name.

750 ml bottle. Nice nose of rhubarb, lemon, Belgian yeasty spice, and a touch of vegetal notes. Flavor is more vegetal, cabbage, lemon, honey, spice. Flavors die quickly and you end up with a slightly lame vegetal after taste. Decently carbonated, at least.

AJB # 7 Rhubarb Saison A clear gold with a fruity spice and rhubarb aroma. Light bodied and dry, the taste is light malts, grains, metallic, not much fruits or rhubarb but a touch of spice. Quite ascerbic but good and well received by those I shared it with.

Hazy gold color with a finger of foam. Lovely Belgian forward nose with some lemon and pear. A bit bitter on the palate, but still holds it together. Good carbonation and refreshing. One of the better in the series. --- Beer merged from original tick of Barrel Reserve Series #7 on 11 Sep 2016 at 18:20 - Score: 7

hazy light golden color. Funky nose with bread dough, pear, rhubarb gives it some sourness that is nice dry and hoppy. Really well made albeit subtle saison that lacks a but of funkiness. Still refreshing and very enjoyable
