6.8/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
A crisp and very nice soft amber coloured body with a good sized, three to four centimetre tall off-white and light tan head that stays afloat nicely and leaves a subtle lace on the side of the glass. Aroma of crisp grassy and floral notes with a big yeast kick from seemingly lager yeasts with a perfumey component and some soft toasted malts or specialty grains here as well. Medium-bodied; Relatively strong crisp and grassy, floral flavour at first with a lot of dryness, some hay and bitter malt notes with a light dose of caramelised sugars and nuttiness along with a rustic, earthy finish and a light touch of low alpha acid hops for some noticeable bitterness, too. Aftertaste shows a dry, lagery, crisp quality that seems to stem from the malts used, but a big component of it as well is the yeast which again (throughout) seem to be a lager yeast with a perceived dryness, especially at the end - good for the style, really. Overall, a pretty nice saison and more of a grisette seeming beer with a dry quality throughout and some low sugars with a good malt quality and a hint of complexity from the yeast, too. Good to sample while the season is turning! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Siciliano's in Grand Rapids, Michigan on 03-August-2021 for US$3,99, canned on 17-Ocober-2020 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 16-April-2023, a day before leaving back for my home state of Michigan.

16oz can. Kind of odd Saison. Big and in your face yeast esters. Drinks bigger than the ABV suggests. The malts are a little odd, and the yeast seems a little unruly. Pretty much lacks any elegance in body or mouthfeel which make Belgian beers what they are. Not that impressive.
