Cloudy tan with a big head. Aroma is a bit yeasty with some nice tree fruit esters. Fizzy, with light hop, not much malt character, and this has a hit of pear fruitiness.

Tasting at Matt’s
Cloudy blond color, very large head. Both aroma and flavor have more vegetables and herbs than everything else, spices, coriander and anise, more vegetables in the final.
Classic American Saison. Nasty idea.

22 oz. bottle, pours a hazy copper golden with a small white head. Aroma reveals notes of floral hops and some diacetyl in there. Flavour is rather messy, with a mix of floral hops, some saison yeast, and crackery notes. Not especially complex, but everything works well enough. Decent stuff.
Had this a second time and the diacetyl was certainly cleared up. Smelled and tasted more like a rustic farmhouse saison. Very clean and pleasant. My rating reflects this better experience.

Bottle - Light grassy notes and honey notes. Clear gold with a rich beige head. Sweet grassy, leafy and a very dry finish. Lots of sweet stone fruit in the finish.
