Draught at the Cellar, 1/18/25.
Very cloudy medium purple-to-blueberry. Quickly fleeting, pinkish head.
Blueberry skin in the nose with a bit of acidity, light black pepper and minimal oak.
Bright and fruity with a quick burst of acidity up front turning to juicy fruit, soft barrel tannin and fruit pulp on the minimally acidic finish.

Sampled from a shared bottle. Dry and grassy saison with blueberry, moderately tart. Good.

Bottle shared by Yaniv, thanks! Pours a near clear light purple with an off white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has tart blueberry with oak and a bit of leafy green underlying. Flavor has a nice light blueberry that has some tartness and a light oaky and leafy finish.

Wooh that's a really jammy saison, thick thick blueberry flavor and plenty of blueberry skins made it into the bottle too but also it has a mildly tart finish considering the fruit content. Maybe the acidity will kick in later but it's delish now.

Bottle thanks to Mikkel! Pours deep dark purple with a small fizzy pinkish head. Aromas of sweet blueberries, lightly tannic, subtle herbal but not the typical lavender kind of blueberry aroma which I sometimes find a bit offputting. Very nice estery fruitiness too. Lightly citric. Taste has lots of sweet blueberries too, lightly lemony and lactic tartness, citrussy, peach skin kind of note, lightly estery with a tannic dry finish.

750 ml bottle, blend #2. Ruby-purple body, with a small, frothy, slightly pink head. Aroma of dark berries, wood, dried fruits, some almond, moderate red wine, slight vinegar. Tastes similar, with a bit more vinegar. Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a quite lively carbonation. Finishes medium sour, medium dry, wooden, vinous, a bit citric, with dark berries, some dried fruits. Very nice. Lovely vinous and dark berry notes, especially in the nose. A bit too acidic in the taste maybe, while still interesting and complex. Score: 8 / 4 / 7 / 4 / 15

Smak > aromat. Bardzo owocowe, fajnie cierpkie, lekuchne, chlalne, kwasnosc srednia, w aromacie faktycznie jakby kapka rozpuszczalnika. Ale klasa piwerko
