Bomber from Wine & Cheese. Pours bright gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma is confusing. Maybe it’s honey and rye. Med body at least. Flavor is honey, and somewhat earthy - rye is in it. It’s even rather floral - apparently thanks to the honey? A bit more honey than I’d usually want, but it works. Rather unusual flavor palate.

Pour is a dark gold with a large white head. Aroma is a sweet fruit perfume. Peach, white grapes and some berry. I liked it but it kinda came out of left field. Flavor is more of the fruit up front but then comes a tart lemon juice and finishes with something like a kefir lime. This was kinda all over the place but It thought it was odd but decent saison.

Harsh flavours. Carbonation over done again. Even the funky notes couldn't save it.

2000th rating . Needed something special but just couldn’t think of what to drink and then an auspicious event occurred. I am visiting the Bier Station, a new bar in KC where all the hairy guys seem to be going, for the first time with my awesome friends the Blacks (Lora and Billiam) and of course Abbey. Its one of those store slash bar with nothing spectacular on tap but solid stuff. But I look around the bottles, eh nothing special, get a beer on tap that I am only mildly interested in drinking. As I walk away I decide to just look through the random boxes sitting around and what do I find, well stupid a bottle of this. I have wanted to drink this for a while but I refuse to pay the ridiculous store price for a Crabtree beer. Come on, it’s Crabtree. But why do I want to drink it, as I said its Crabtree. Well, the beer combines two of my favorite things beer and art. I mean how could it take so long to make a saison named after Cezanne. It’s so simple. And that answers why I want to drink the beer, still not worth the price. But at Bier Station tthe mark up to drink in store is very small. So the beer meets my desire for the beer but also more importantly a good deal.

Beer.... hmm, good stuff. Pours thick golden, no clarity, medium thick head. Aroma is beautiful layer of brett with natural peach skin. It’s hard to separate where one starts and the other ends. It’s all natural and lively and awesome. Flavor is less rich, fine but kind of empty compare to flavor. Slightly fruit Belgian ale, not much brett, no sourness. Just a bit disappointing but fine. Full and soft mouthfeel, almost like hairy peach skins tickling my cheeks.
