Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: purple in color in the glass with a pink one and a half fingers of foamy head. The head took it's time to dissipate then leave some light messy lace
Aroma: big sweet to tart cherries, some acidity, funky grassy tones, oaky tones; even lighter woody scents further underneath
Flavor: starts sweet then brings in the tart of the previously noted aromas to lead into a subtle cherry aftertaste
Texture: medium bodied, good sipper; rolls at a good pace across the tongue with some acidic stabbings but nothing overbearing; finishes semi-tart with the cherries and oak
Overall: I say a very nicely done saison, it's not fruited, it's not a sour saison; just a very nice saison all around that I would love to have again.

Bottle thanks to Vin. Pours candy apple red with small pink head and decent lacing. Aroma is cherry, oak, funk, a hint of band-aid perhaps. Flavor is light tart, light plus funk. Medium body.

Thanks Carrigan for sharing the bottle! Poured into a snifter showing lightly filtered pink raspberry with thin transparent rims and sparse white foam. The nose shows strong farmhouse brett forwardness with horse blanket and notes of sour cherries. The palate is well carbonated and light bodied. Light oak background and lightly tart with sour cherries on the mid-palate and vanilla on the finish.
