The annual emergence arrives with delightful timeliness, in parallel with the new season and possible flower picking (stay tuned!). Brewed with graciously gathered spring blossoms, organic grains, and Vermont wildflower honey and conditioned in wine barrels.

Poured from 750mL bottle (2018 vintage - bottled Aug 07, 2018). Hazy gold with small white head. Rustic saison yeast, funk, wine barrel, mild brett, touch of subdued pepper, slightly lacking in carbonation.

750ml (thx, Jacob B.!) on Alex's porch shared with Ryan. Appearance: hazy pale golden with a white head. Aroma: nice rustic and barrel notes. Taste: along the same lines, quite low carbo, minerally and funky. Overall: good, but would be much more prominent with a higher carbonation.

Pours very hazy, yellowblonde. Small white head. Smell is spices, floral, citrussy. Herbal. Florality takes the upperhand though. Taste is sharp, tad bitter, citrussy, very floral, milder minerality. Relatively dry. Rather sharp. Typical saison maltyness.
