Yellow cloudy pout from bottle . I guessed this was either a weak wheat ale or something else. It was OK but pretty meh overall.

Bottle. Hazy gold color, small head. Aroma was like weak spicy hay. Taste was really weak with what I think is suppose to be a saison flavor.

On keg at CASC, Aberdeen. Pours slightly hazy pale yellow, with an off white head. Aroma & taste of lemon, citrus zest, white pepper & hay. Light body, soft carb, dry finish. Light easy drinking, refreshing grisette

From cask @ Blind Tiger. This is quite a straw yellow colored one this. Cloudy as heck and a small bug bubbled cask white head on the top. It has a mild orange zesty peppery aroma. Really mild though but there's also citrus tones. Quite a likable mild aroma on this one. Oh, like how this tastes! This is a really good cask beer. It's really nice and light on the mouth without being watery. Tastes super refreshing and this has to be within the top 5 over all time beers I've had that has the highest drinkability. There's lots of basil and herbs, soft orange zest, cask yeast and a nice peppery tail. Something you could easily have a few of without getting tired. 05.06.2015

Tap, patricks. OK, now I see its a saison, not a table beer, heheh. That’s what is said on my local menu. Well, first off, it seems to be more than 4%, heheheh. Clear clear with a nice friendly nose. A little medicinal at first. Has a hay thing going on, yes, clean farm effects. Easy to take. Has an odd spice that is barely perceivable as well. In the end, it was better in the get along department than many recently sampled brews.

Bottle. Juicy grapefruit / lemon nose, bready malt. A bit of barnyard. Spicy citrus flavor, rich malt, a bit sweet, nice peppery finish. Did not at all realize it was so low in alcohol. Good stuff.

Bottle date of BB 9/17/16.
This was poured into a tall tulip.
The appearance was a glossy lemon yellow color with a one and a half finger white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. Thin subtle sliding lacing.
The smell started off with a sweet to zesty lemon pulp and sticky bitter rind. Extra sweet citrus slides over white bread and cracked black pepper. Light coriander, subtle grassiness and some rye bounce in for the balance.
The flavor brings it all together nicely with a clean soakingly fresh citrus sweet aftertaste and smooth finish.
On the palate, this one sat about light bodied with a nice sweet sessionable feel to it. Low carb, and feels great for Summer crushability.
Overall, nice crushable Summer saison. Should be in cans and pounded on my fishing boat.

12 oz bottle poured, picked up in St. Pete. Best by 10/1/2016. Fun, unique try here. Pours a light hazy golden color with a ton of foam head. Lemon, belgian like aroma. Flavor is a little more full than I expected from such a light saison. Cool and refreshing overhead, with some lemon, straw grain, easy spice, and a late fruity bite finish. Tasty session belgian ale for sure. This is a good beer to be drinking outside doing something cool.

Bottle from Market Street Wine Shop, Uptown. Pours golden with a small white head. Aroma of lemongrass, lightly floral, with some poor-man’s-pepper in the end, though I suppose that could be coriander too. For some reason the aroma took me back to being in 6th grade and going on a nature hike and the ranger telling us about "poor man’s pepper," which I have just looked up and it’s officially called Lapidium virginicum. Anyway, rambling here. Taste is lemongrass, light herbs - I almost want to say basil but it’s not. Dry and really not bad - just not exciting.
