Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: blurry yellow color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: freshly cut grass with citrusy hops; bready malts with funk character; lemongrass with some sweet wheat, light notes of black pepper with some basement, subtle Brett seems closer to the bottom
Flavor: copies the aromas fairly nice in a sweet funky to tart and spicy quality; finishes citrusy, funky and a touch of pepper
Texture: light to medium bodied, leaning to be a sipper; light smoothness but also a touch of tart assertiveness
Overall: pretty nicely done saison I believe I could come back to.

Bottle from the lcbo online store. Bottle GUSHED and I lost about 2/3 of the bottle. Once the explosion was cleaned up, and my glass was 1/4 full it was a cloudy yellow, with a HUGE white head. Aroma is loaded with great funky notes, and malted wheat and funky, lemony grasses. Crisp and clean mouth feel, perfect carb. Peppery and funky, light barnyard aroma. Medium bitterness, prickly and peppery, grassy.... Just an incredible example of the style. I wish I actually had a full bottle.

A small taste from a friend (tap) @ Brewpub Truth. Pours hazy yellow with a medium head. Aroma is very sour malts with fruity notes. Flavor is dry and tart malts with some hops. Decent.

A touch of grapefruit bretta and some grape pit. Golden pour with decent head. Light lemony type finish here. Easy drinking. Tap at Shelter.

Bottle from Brewcraft at home. Hazy bright yellow pour, big puffy white head. Aroma is bright farm funk with lots of lemon rind. Taste is sharp lemon with funky edges and a crisp bitter finish. Metallic? Or maybe just the suggestion from stainless steel barrel. Palate is light with soft medium carbonation. Some emptiness on finish too, disappears quickly. A bit sharp for my taste but interesting I guess. Wouldn’t get again.

Big farmyard nose, soft funky yeast. Saison that really makes you feel like you’re in the field of France , dry finish

$3.50 bottle, WW. Suddenly in a blah mood, so probably long night of drinking. Hazy pale gold with a large head and lots of carbonation. Nose is grasses, yeast, lemon zest, peach or apricot skin, dust. Flavor is funk, yeast, grasses, peach/apricot skin, lemongrass, light grapefruit in the finish. Bitter, dusty, dry finish. Really nice.

Tap at Troubles End. My first Oxbow beer..maybe. rather light and pleasant on the palate, big lemon lime tones. Brett is there but isnt brutal at all, which is always nice. Layers of complexities that come together well. Soft carbonation. Sort of eaten up, not sugary or thick. Really well done, quite different and superior to most US Saison, and better than most Belgians too. Cool beer.

Draft. Golden beer with a cream head. Light brett and light sour aroma. Spice and brett flavor with light citrus. Medium bodied. Spice and brett linger with light citrus.
