Bottle @ WarPigs. Pours tiny hazy deep yellow with a small frothy white head that leaves some spotty trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is tiny fruity, floral and funky with crackers, lemon juice, pineapple, star fruit, honey, clotted cream, hay, minerals, barnyard, dry wood, grape skins and lemon zest. Taste is very tiny sweet, slightly sour, slightly floral and funky. Mouthfeel is dry, slightly tart, tiny tannic astringent and light to medium bodied. Finish is slightly sour with rustic sourdough crackers, lemon and blood orange citric acidity, floral honey and complex wine barrel funk. Light, bouyant and extremely drinkable yet complex. Beautiful saison. Pity it’s so rare. Wouldn’t mind chugging this on hot days like this.

Bottles Sample(Thanks)@Hill Farmstead Day, Warpigs, Copenhagen (12/05/2016) - golden yellow coloured pour with a nice white head. Citrus citric aroma and taste, some honey sweetness, straw, hay, light herbal, floral and grassy hoppy, some yeasty and bretty notes, light wooden notes near the finish. Lovely.

Finally managed to try this. Lives up to expectations. Drinkable with a nice funk and barrel complexity.

Bottle shared at Warpigs. Cloudy golden with a small white head. Fruity aroma with citrus, pineapple and peach, notes of elderflower, funk, oak, and a little spice. Dry and tart fruity flavour with citrus and pineapple. Oak and a hint of grass. Tartness is almost like grapefruit or pineapple.

Batch 1 and 2 side by side from a bottle. Aroma is very nice with some light stone fruit and pineapple notes. A moderate herbal funk to it with some light oak. Batch 1 is more oaky with some honey notes to it. Batch 1 pours a slightly orange while batch 2 is a hazy straw color. Both have moderate sized, thick, white head that shows nice retention. Medium light lacing and small legs. Flavor is delicate with nice light acidity. Light stone fruit, melon and pineapple notes. A light herbal note with light oak notes. Batch 1 has a lot more honey notes with some light spiciness. Delicate, soft water notes with light bitterness. Mouthfeel is soft and medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a very nice Saison. Very delicate and balanced with nice fruit and herbal notes. Balanced. I would probably deduct .3 or .4 from this score for batch 1.

Bottle from the K Man; hazy golden yellow pour with a bubbly white head, aroma has light funk and lemon, taste has some funk, pineapple, smooth lemons, some grass, underlying brett wonderful beer.

May 2014 Magnum shared by Adam C on 7/25/15.
Hazy burnished copper with a good amount of fairly well-retained white head atop.
Brightness of Anna lightly dulled, but in the best way possible, replacing it with soft lactic acids. Again more of the floral-sulfur-grass thing going on (that’s my closest approximation to describing the aroma of these wonderful saisons, and it’s admittedly terrible and sounds unappealing, but I’ll work on it once I get a whole bottle to myself....). Bits of honey on the end are just begging you to drink it.
Very well-restrained on the barrel character, compared to Art. Bright acidity, wildflower notes producing the same light stickiness. As it progresses, you get a pineapple-near-the-rind sort of flavor that is nicely dry but still has some good tartness and a pinch of sweetness. Bits of vanilla and light wood with some juicier melon notes. Hard to describe, these beers of Shaun’s. The flavors are all so new to me and it’s overwhelming to try them all for the first time this weekend. I can say that the mouthfeel, balance and attenuation are perfect here once again.
2014 375mL drunk 5/26/17 at the brewery.
Was really hoping to try the 2016 batch but they ONLY had the 2014. DAMN. Life is hard.
Still smells wonderful; tons of tart acidity, spicy phenols and floral character from the honey with very soft oak and rich honeyed malt tones through it all. Very clean and much more gentle than when fresh.
Soft and very easygoing in the mouth with a lingering honey-like sweetness, soft wood tannins and lots of grass, juicy pineapple and melon. The carbonation is very low at this point and maybe the 375mLs haven’t aged as gracefully as the larger format bottles, as this is just a touch tired (I wouldn’t continue aging these small bottles more than a year and would definitely drink them now), though certainly still highly enjoyable. Bright acidity on the very end still helps enliven things but the tight, almost champagne-like carbonation that make Shaun’s sours so delightful is no longer very present here.

Magnum poured by Adam, bottled 2014, sold in 2015. Great bright gold color, spotty lace. Aroma is just a dream, honey, grain, citrus, very mild barrel.

Can the barrel be anymore integrated?? The mouthfeel is soft and delicate just like every other of Mr. hill’s brew. Wow, the wine barrel is here but really mild. The honey, citrus and grain has a juicy like texture. Light floral hints, damn... The mouthfeel is crisp and lively, nice tingle. No hype just straight flavor.
