Pale and aromatic, with a soft minerality, Witchfinder is a refreshing young saison. Brewed with Pilsner malt and wheat, and fermented with a mixed culture of saison strains. Hopped with Saaz and Amarillo, this farmhouse style beer is full of floral and citrus hop notes, and juicy fruit esters.

Pour is a blonde with a huge white head. Aroma is all things brett yeast funk. Flavor is more funk, a bone dry malt and a honey finish. Lots of carbonation on the tongue. This was a fine bretty saison.

Tasting at Andrey's; bottled January 2019, 6.1% ABV
Hazy blond colour. Bone dry, with strong Brett character, leading to final astringency, not as funky or complex as other Holy Mountain Saisons can be.

750ml from Firefly at Andrey's shared with Ash and Alex. Appearance: hazy straw with a huye white head. Aroma: nice Brett and fruity notes similar to grapes, some sweetness. Taste: along the same lines with fruity and peppery notes, kind of a mix of Belgian and American Saisons 30/70. Overall: good one.

Bottle: Poured a pale yellow color ale with a large foamy head. Aroma of rustic malt notes with some light funky notes as well as herbal notes. Taste is also a mix of herbal notes with some rustic malt and some light funky notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable season but was expecting a bit more complexity.

750 ml bottle from Tavour, 11/9/19. Pours a hazy yellowish color, big foamy head, lots of foamy lace. Bright, funky aroma. Yeast and spice, a little herbal. Pine and hints of stone fruit. Floral, grainy, and grassy notes. More I drink the more I get. Lots going on here. Finishes nicely dry, the carbonation is lively, but in balance. Really liked this one. One of those beers where the more I drink the more I enjoy it. A 750 went down easy. Quality stuff. 8/3/9/4/17

I can't imagine how many times I passed this up, thinking that I'd had it before. Pours with a slight haze, and a fairly thick head. On the nose, the pale malts are bright, plump and prominent, alongside a mellow brettiness. There's herbaceous continental hops in there as well, and some yeastiness. Dry, yeasty and bretty on the palate. Moderate bitterness. The pale malts are leaner on the palate. The bottle is nine months old and the brett is definitely having an impact. Dry, herbal, and with a classic saison quality. This is excellent stuff.
