Cloudy dark orange, small off white head. Sweet nose, loads of sweet cereals and some light yeasty fruit. Heavy mouth feel, soft carb. Low bitterness, sweet, bready, yeasty finish. Meh.

Super duper hazy amber and copper coloured body with a large tan head that covers a lot of this one. Aroma of grass, honey, light hops, citrus and a bit of floral and piney hop notes as well. Medium-bodied; Assertive grassy and herbal notes that show more of a Light iPA instead of a Saison, but some yeast and more floral elements show some funkiness along with a hint of the yeast. Aftertaste shows some grain and a little residual sweetness from some caster sugar and even a hint of fruit. Overall, not a great saison, but not a horrible beer - tons of flavour, especially with the floral and grassy notes and a lingering sweetness that shows nicely. I sampled this tall, 500 mL bottle purchased a few minutes earlier at Les Marche des Sauveurs du Quebec in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on 18-September-2016 for CA$5,50 sampled right outside the store at a picnic table on 18-September-2016 in Montreal.

Bottle: Poured a lightly hazy hay color ale with a large off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of rustic malt with light spicy yeast notes is pretty enjoyable. Taste is a nice mix of rustic malt with some spicy yeast notes with a dry finish is quite nice. Body is about average with good carbonation. Doesn’t really stand out from the style staples but still well-balanced overall with good drinkability.
