Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: amber/maroon color with a stable two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: tropical fruity character, lovely Brett sour features, subtle tart notes, funky farmhouse character, woody, light vinous tones and some light floral tones as well
Flavor: nicely blended into sour to tart to semi-sweet and florally sour conglomeration; no aftertaste
Texture: medium bodied, great sipper; light acidic tart features pop at my tongue but leaning towards a subtle smoothness; finishes tart, funky and semi-acidic
Overall: nicely done sour farmhouse ale I would be wiling to have again.

This beer has almost everything I really love, especially that nice barnyard bretty funk featured primarily in the nose. It brings with it floral element, mild citric hops provide an appealing complement. The upfront flavors are in the same vein with a mild tartness to the funk. So where does it go wrong? After the initial funk at first sip, the back half of this just disappears. There's a mild bready/doughy/yeasty malt presence but it fades into a dry finish with little bitterness, or little anything really almost a watery mouthfeel. This promises greatness and delivers on its good.

Bottle from weihenweizen: pours orange with white head. Aroma is bretty funk and a light fruitiness. Taste is sweet, earthy, bretty, tunky. Almost metallic minerally finish. Brett is powerful, almost harsh.

Taster at the Destin Craft Bar. Pours a clear, dark, golden color. The aroma is orange peel, quinine, peach juice, and pine. Sweet and juicy, with a sharp bitterness. Medium body, with a sharp, slick mouthfeel. This is an interesting and malty saison. Not great.

Sample at the taproom during the "Apologize Less / Skin & Bone Double Release" event on 04/20/2018. Hazy copper-orange color with a medium thick off-white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Partial rings of lace. Aroma of funky citrus, yeast, spice and hops. Medium body with flavors of funky brett, citrusy hops, earthy malt and spice. The finish is funky with a citrus and yeast aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Draft pour at Craft Brewed. Pours a clearish copper with a full 2 fingers of foam that lingers. Lovely saison forward yeast nose with mineral, lemon and vinous white grape notes. Smooth and balanced with malt and peppery hops. muscat. Very drinkable, and not too overly tart.
