Big bottle. Poured your slightly off gold with big head. Pretty bandaid funky. Pear, sweet. Pretty good

Hazy light copper coloured body with more of a golden honey glow and a very thick, six to seven centimetre tall off-white head that starts high and fades quite quickly. Aroma of grasses, flowers, light spices, coriander seed, some light anise and a touch of apples and pears along with bunches of yeast and funky qualities - nice. Light to Medium-bodied; Assertive grassy qualities at first with a big dose of grain and herbal notes right behind. Some light sugars from fruit and a touch of spices, such as the coriander seed and a little bit of curacao adds some sweetness and citrus to the mix. Aftertaste is quite dry with some white pepper and tarragon around along with a touch of sweetness from the citrus and even a little from the fruits. Overall, a nice, dry and herbal saison with a big kick from the grass, yeast and white pepper notes - nice and showing a lot of character throughout. Nice to sample, especially fresh! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in New York (Bowery), New York on 23-February-2018 for US$4,99 sampled on the roof of my hotel on 26-February-2018 here in New York.

750 ml bottle from Sparrow, 7/22/16. Pours an unclear golden-orange with a large, fizzy froth of off-white head and some drippy lace. Lots of spice and yeast, pepper, earth, some lemongrass, and a little peach. Nice overall mix of flavors here. Slightly overly carbonated, but otherwise it drinks pretty nicely. Finishes a little dry. Another quality yeast forward beer from Transmitter.

Poured into a shaker showing well filtered yellow with sparse white foam. The nose shows light apples and sweet malts. The palate is well carbonated and fluffy, like a typical saison. Light spiciness throughout and a rather large bitterness from the hops on the finish. Spiciness appears once again on the end. Overall, it doesn’t really work together at all.

Hops Hill, Brooklyn tap: Pours light golden with a white head. Aroma is spice, full fruitiness, and some grain. Taste is lightly spicy, very fruity (not citrusy), a bit sweet, and not that dry. This is very clearly a saison, but it is not the dry kind, rather the sweet kind. The peppery touch is nice. Good, not great. I had this right after the Prairie Brett C, so it was facing some tough competition.

Bottle from Brewery. Pours yellow gold white head. Nose/taste of alcohol soaked pear, saison yeast, lemongrass, peppercorn, pear and stone fruit. Medium body. A touch overcarbonated. Got better as it "breathed."
