Tap at Grub. Very floral, got that Belgian thing but well amped up. Pleasant yoghurt and fruit, bit too herbal for me. Got the US face smash instead of the Belgian subtlety. Quite a lot of citrus too, along with some vanilla ice cream. It's nice, but it's not quite for me.

At a tasting, cloudy deepish orange color, small bubbly head, aroma of yeast, barnyard, light jammu notes, roots and hint of yellow plums, grainy yeasty flavor with a fruity melange and some vanila, light bitterness. Unusual saison, nice and interesting.

Clear golden and slightly hazy toffee coloured body with a large and growing six centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of very dry and earthy malt with some flowers, grain, light hops and a touch of grass and hay. Medium-bodied; Strong rich grassy and floral flavours with a very dry and herbal finish showing a ton of effervescence, some subdued grainy and bitter hop notes, but a mainly dry and super grassy flavour that hits hard near the end. Aftertaste is dry, grassy, floral and showing a smooth amount of hops - but this is all about the dry malt and a good amount of the pungent and complex yeast flavours that show up after the sip is done. Overall, a nice and enjoyable saison with a lot of complexity and depth, and a very dry and overly effervescent mouthful. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from New Beer Distributors in New York, New York on 01-July-2016 for US$8,99 sampled at home in Dearborn, Michigan on 10-December-2016.

Sample at GABF 10/08/2016, thanks to my sis for assistance with note-taking. This beer is a slightly hazy golden-orange color with a medium thin off-white head that recedes gradually. Sticky strings of lace. Barnyard aroma with yeast and malt notes. Medium body with flavors of stone fruit, herbal yeast, hops and malt. The finish is mildly funky with a yeast and hops aftertaste. Decent overall.

22oz bomber. Hazy orange tan. Foamy, steady off-white head. Kind of a funky flat off-putting earthy aroma. Nice pleasant carbonation. A pinch sugary, but works with the estery yeast. Hops give it some resinous depth.
