Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: glossy orange/amber color with a light transparency closer to the sides and a one finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet and floral rye up front, subtle snappy wheat; some hay, light grains, some grassiness, subtle sweet earthy tones
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas together in a semi-floral to sweet and grassy to snappy tart quality; brisk finish of the sweet side of the rye and light citrusy qualities
Texture: light to medium bodied, between sessionable and being a sipper; light smoothness but also some grassy hop grind
Overall: I never saw the "spicy" side of the rye which I'm not entirely sure if I had an older bottle or if the brewer didn't necessarily try to brew that character in there. I think I'd try to find again in hopes of seeing what another bottle might be like or possibly find on draft somewhere.

Draught @ Solid State. Clear golden with very small frothy off-white head, faint hay aroma, medium carbonation, lightly bitter honey-malt taste, thin body, medium finish. Fair, nothing spectacular.

Sampled at the brewery, 8/2/15
Thought this was solid, though it didn't quite get there for me. Pours amber with a small head. Aroma is malty and a little bready. Rye/spice comes through as well. Solid, similar flavor. Drinks with a bit of fizz.

A hazed dark amber saison with a thin off white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with light esters, coriander, Brett, light oak barrel, light black pepper, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with grassy hops, black pepper, oak notes, beautiful. Bottle at OttBottShare March 2015. Bought at brewery.

The Sampler, Brooklyn tap: Pours light brown with an off-white head. Some toffe like smells, some flowers, and a bunch of other stuff that I cannot pinpoint. Taste is tangy, with a ton of flavors that I cannot really pinpoint. No fruitiness. Not very dry. Weird.
