Bottle at Farmhouse Fest 2019, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle floral dry-hopping upfront, with gentle wild yeast. Flavour reveals a very nice saison yeast character, with gentle floral hops. High carbonation, but fittingly so. Excellent.

Light grass and some funk. Hazy gold with a decent white head. Light funk and bitterness.

Hazy light gold, very light, sweet, not much balance, limited bugginess. Hops not noticeable. All told this ends up too sweet for me.
