Tap at Gremlin. Aroma is good, fruity, tart, taste is yoghurt, citrus, light sourness. Nice enough, but not quite sure.

Pours light golden. Bit amberish, just a few bubbles. Sour aroma, autumn, apples cider. Farmhouse. Reminds me of pressing apple juice with my grandpa. Taste is light. Fruity, bit of bitter feel to it and just slightly sour. Real nice and drinkable. Great sour.

Tap at Mikkeller AJB tap-takeover event. Pale gold with a small ring of white foam around the top. Huge oak-forward nose with some light saison yeast notes in the background. Feels light on the palate with soft carbonation. More oak and less saison on the palate, but the finish has nice mix of vanilla oaky notes and light pepper, albeit it muted. Nice take on a BA saison, but the oak really drives this one maybe a tad too much. --- Beer merged from original tick of Barrel Aged Wild Saison on 07 May 2016 at 08:46 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7.5.
