750ml bottle. Unfiltered thick orange body. Mineral dry saison aroma. Funky US saison, a little earthy. Drinkable, easy on the palate. Soapy, earthy. Deep into the style. Solid.

Draft at the source. Hazy yellow color, white head. Aroma of herbal lemon. Taste is lightly spiced lemon. More spice than bush. Of course, I have no idea what a spicebush is. I picture a shrubbery with little bottles of rosemary and thyme hanging from it, but that’s probably not right. Tasty beer anyway.
