Bottle, part of a mixed 4 pack at the lcbo. Slightly hazy yellow pour, small white head. Aroma is just malted wheat, and light fruity esters. Carb and mouth feel are standard and nice. Finish is low on the bitterness scale, more mated wheat, and light random fruity Notes. I’m honestly getting zero rhubarb in here. Meh.

Pours a slight hazed golden colour with spice particles, a warm cap, good stay and some foamy lace. The aromas are kind of weird with the mix of Saison yeast and rhubarb. Light plastic notes ?? The taste has this weirdness as well. Not sure what it is, but the yeast does not match the fruitiness. Was expecting awesomeness as I like Saison and fruity beers, but this not something that works. Sadly.

This Saison poured a clear light yellow colour with almost no head. No lacing. Scents include candy, rhubarb and lemon jelly beans? First swig was very thin with not much carbonation. Not near as sour as expected. Flavours of rhubarb and malt. Very weak. Not bad but thin. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Tap at The Only Cafe Toronto. Hazy golden with almost white head. Lots of dough, spicy saison yeast with lots of white pepper and some cloves. Light hay, bready malts and a bit of tart fruits in the finish. Almost medium sweet and light bitter and sour. Medium bodied with creamy feel. I get some sour fruits, but wouldn’t have guessed rhubarb.

Draft - Banana yeast and a bit of bubblegum. Hazy yellow gold with a nice white head. Banana, spice, cheesy and some light acidity. A little too much yeasty lacto, tart forward would have been better for me.
