Can from Joe's Wine and Liquor, Memphis. Aroma is sweet sugary strawberry with a touch of wheaty malt and strawberry candy. Quite a sweet flavour, sugary. Medium body. Too much strawberry and way too little Saison, as it stands this is a sugary Fruit Beer.

Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 4/9/2018. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy deep golden amber color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of lightly tart/tangy strawberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, orange, peach, pear, melon, red apple, peppercorn, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light funk, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of strawberries, fruity/spicy yeast, and moderate bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of lightly tart/tangy strawberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, orange, peach, pear, melon, red apple, peppercorn, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light funk, and yeast earthiness. Moderate peppery yeast spiciness, and light herbal/floral/grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of strawberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, orange, peach, pear, melon, red apple, peppercorn, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of strawberries, fruity/spicy yeast, and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/spiciness balance, and no astringent flavors after the finish. Very crisp/clean finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from spiciness and carbonation. High carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth and moderately bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.1%. Overall this is a delicious fruited saision! All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of strawberries, fruity/spicy yeast, and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Great balance of authentic strawberries and classic Saison yeast complexity; with a nice pale/wheat malt backbone, and a nearly bone dry finish from carbonation. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.
