Bottle, picked up at HF a year ago and carefully stored since. Pours deep murky chestnut with a medium tan head and nice lacing. Aroma is funky and not much else, Flavor is funky, fruity, a bit of lemon zest. Not much sweetness or bitterness, a bit of acidity. Does not drink like a dark saison for sure. Medium body, spritzy carbonation. Lovely as hell and highly drinkable. Pulls things back to their core and displays only what is necessary. Not complex by any means, but the notes it hits are all pitch perfect.
