Canned 7/9/25, drunk 8/6/25.
Slightly hazy, drab blonde-bronze. Small, white head steadily to scant cover and clumps on edge.
Very phenolic nose shows a lot of white pepper and clove, but rounded by staunch maltiness showing white bread and biscuit. Clean otherwise with peppery hops. Mild fruitiness lingering.
Hmmm, spicier (yeast) than usual from Oxbow. Not that it tastes messy/crude (no banana, minimal bubble gum) but it is A LOT of clove. Great texture, attenuation, carbonation, body, etc....just wish it wasn't so damned clovey...

Can on MV. Cheers to Duke. Pours lightly hazed yellow with a fluffy, pure white head. Lightly sweet with strongly expressive yeast character, crispy wheat flakes, light bitter straw. Light bodied with active, massaging carbonation. Finishes with a little husky grain, more yeast, light grass, biscuits, wheat flakes. Tasty.

Tap @ Oxbow, Portland. Misty yellow, small white head. Familiar classic saison yeast sweetness coming through on the nose. Taste continues to form a good grainy yeasty saison character.. very well presented, nicely flavoursome.
