500mL bottle, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out earthy notes, some sweat socks, rustic saison yeast and wild notes. Flavour is along the same lines, with rustic saison yeast, earthy notes, and some mustiness. Musty and rustic. It's solid but perhaps a little past its best by date.

Bottle. Pours a clear light straw yellow with visible carbonation and a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has a nice light fruit note with grass, flora and light grains supporting. Flavor also has nice light fruits with grass, Brett and a touch of sweet grains underlying.
