650 ml, bottled 06/20/14, shared by Werckmeister, thanks a lot for this gem!
Deep golden, clear body, with a big, frothy, white head.
Aroma of Aroma of yeast, citrus, orange, lemongrass, apples, some ripe fruits, some spices.
Tastes of lemon zest, apples, lemongrass, spices, pine needles, pepper, some ripe fruits, some candy.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation.
Finishes dry, bitter, zesty, a bit sour, piney, fruity.
Tasty. A really clean, fresh, perfectly balanced Saison, that isn’t the most unique maybe, but very true to the style. Complex and easy drinkable at the same time.

Bottle kindly shared by Werckmeister. Aroma lemony, citrusy, spicy, peppery. Lightly hazy yellow colour. Spicy in taste, lemony, lime, zesty, slightly sour. Also leathery barnyard notes developing towards the finish. Quite typical saison yet a more spicy/lemony twist. Very good. Easily drinkable.

Rattle n Hum, NYC tap: Pours pale yellow with white head. Aroma is winy, a bit funky, peppery, and lemony. Taste is much the same. A bit dry in the end. Slight hops and sourness going on in there as well. Drank too quickly, but was enjoyable.
