Bottle at SBWF2015. Yellow color, not much head. Herbal rubbery apple aroma. Light-bodied. Rubbery apple, white-peppery Saison yeast. Some tartness. Simple but odd.

Bottled at SBWF. Hazy golden, small head. Aroma of marzipan and elderflowers. Mid dry with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Winegums, grains and marzipan, some sour green apples. Low bitterness. Elegant.

Bottle from Tanakaya, shared at a tasting. Clear, light gold with a small white head. Aromas of saison yeast, granny smith apples, peach, light yogurt and some clove. Taste is more of the same. Very granny smith apple-y with nice tartness. A little sweet, but not too cloying. Enjoyable. --- Beer merged from original tick of Epic Sour Apple Saison on 27 Jul 2015 at 20:40 - Score: 7

Pours a pale gold with a good and long lasting head of foam.
I smell the usual spiciness for the style with some green apple tartness.
Spices of coriander and cloves, hints of barnyard, light tartness of green apples. Not my cup of tea as the tart doesnβt compliment the traditional flavours of the Saison.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma at first whiff is apples. Some spice and sugar follow. Flavor is a decent apple. Itβs not overly sour but some green apples were used. Finish has more of a cinnamon and sugar with apple left on the tongue. More of a fruit beer than saison but this is a decent summer quencher. People not into beer would probably like this.

On tap at Beer Keyaki Spring 2014. A tart green apple aroma, tasty. A rich cloudy gold pour. Medium bodied, silky mouthfeel. The taste is sour, spicy, peppery, tangy apple. Good & refreshing. More apple than saison though.
