Pretty hazy and funky blonde and light peach coloured body with a nice, thick and frothy three centimetre tall off-white head that stays afloat for a while. Aroma of very funky, soured, bretty and lactobilly funky yeast notes with a lot of tartness here (especially for the style) and a subdued malt and hop presence, but the yeast takes over in a good way, with only a dash of grass, hay and barnyardie funk - most of it is the soured yeast. Light-bodied; Pretty crisp, grassy and herbal flavours do show up at first with a noticeable tart and funkiness, all from the yeast, of course, but the grass and perfumey qualities go far, with a light bread and yeast finish with the bretty funk very noticeable in a good way, that adds to the complexity. Aftertaste shows a lot of grassy and perfumy qualities with a good layer of the hops here on top of the bretty and lactobilly funk from the yeast, but this is pretty clean and easy-drinking in terms of a saison, which makes sense at less than 5,0 per cent alcohol. Overall, great to try and well-recommended for the style with an added complexity from the yeasts here - this was nice to have and perhaps would have been worth it to carry on a plane, but luckily I didn't have to do that! I sampled this 37,5 cL, wax-sealed bottle, purchased from Glen-Ro Spirit Shoppe in Monroe, Connecticut on 18-December-2021 for US$8,99 (as part of a buy one, get one, free promo!) sampled at my house here in Washington on 19-December-2022, just a year later (and a day later) after purchase.

Draft from brewery 5-7-16

Flaska från Galatea/Craftbeer. Riktigt fin funkig och friskt syrlig doft. Smaken är initialt åt samma håll med frisk passiosfrukt och aprikos med lätta fattoner från chardonnayfaten men smaken dör väl snabbt i munnen och avslutet är väl platt. Riktigt trevlig sammantaget iaf.

375mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with almost no head. Aroma brings out light funk, light white wine and some miscellaneous spicy yeasty notes. Flavour is very wheaty, with considerable brett funk, leather, wheat, some spicy rye but almost no hint of the barrels. Dry and very uncarbonated - needs more. Lacking complexity, but it's pleasant enough.
