Mostly oak here with some sharp hay. Pours murky orange with ok head and lacing. Boozy bitter end. Wooden. Can.

$3.50 pint can, Wine Warehouse. Pours gold, off-white head. Aroma is light funk, yeast, wheat, hint of fruit; very nice aroma - clean, fresh. Flavor is funk, wheat, black pepper, wood, light citrus. Really nice. Clean.

16 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but is a recent release. Pours lightly hazy golden amber/light orange color with a 1-2 finger dense and fluffy off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, red apple, white grape, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, clove, pine, oak, wheat. cracker, biscuit dough, herbal, floral, grass, light musty funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, citrus/tropical/earthy hops, moderate oak, and pale/wheat malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, red apple, white grape, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, clove, pine, oak, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, floral, grass, light musty funk, and yeast earthiness. Moderate peppery yeast spiciness; and pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, red apple, white grape, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, clove, pine, oak, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, floral, grass, light musty funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, citrus/tropical/earthy hops, moderate oak, and pale/wheat malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and minimal lingering hop astringency after the finish. Moderate increasing dryness from bitter/spiciness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready, grainy, sticky, resinous, rindy, and lightly tannic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is an awesome hoppy saison! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, citrus/tropical/earthy hops, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and pretty refreshing to drink; despite the increasingly bitter/spicy/resinous/dryng finish, not too overly aggressive. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Great Citra/Hallertau Blanc profile. Very vibrant/dank/earthy hops, and balanced Brett/Saison yeast complexity; with a solid wheat/oat/malt backbone and French oak presence. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example as expected.
