Honey and apricot nose, a little funky. Hazy amber, thin head. Crabapple, apple core, allspice, lemon zest. Apricot overtones, malt and honey finish. Full body, easy carbonation. A bit too tart for the style.

500 ml bottle into tulip glass; no bottle dating, but is a recent release. Pours slightly hazy golden orange color with a 1-2 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon, orange peel, apricot, pear, apple, peppercorn, coriander, clove, honey, wheat, cracker, biscuit, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/earthy yeast, spices, honey, and bready malt notes; with good strength. Taste of lemon, orange peel, apricot, pear, apple, peppercorn, coriander, clove, honey, wheat, cracker, biscuit, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Moderate amount of herbal bitterness and yeast spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, orange peel, apricot, pear, apple, peppercorn, coriander, clove, honey, biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness, complexity, and balance of fruity/earthy yeast, spices, honey, and bready malt flavor; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from bitter/spiciness, lightly increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and moderately creamy/bready/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very nice saison! All around good robustness, complexity, and balance of fruity/earthy yeast, spices, honey, and bready malt flavor; and very smooth and easy to drink. This was maltier than I expected, but still very balanced between the flavors. A very enjoyable offering.
