A "graf" is a beer-cider hybrid; this particular graf is a mixed-culture-fermented saison made with an interesting blend of fruit from the Sunshine Coast orchards of Banditry Cider. The Banditry crew came to visit Dageraad with freshly pressed juice of a hand-selected blend of crabapples and quince to make this unusual beer.

100mL pour at brewery. Pours clear pale yellow with white head. Aroma has a ton of barnyard funk and musty, dry apple skins. Flavour is funky and dry; spicy saison yeast, slightly tannic apple skins. Excellent blend of cider and rustic beer.

On tap at The Magnet, pours a fairly clear dull golden with a small white head. Aroma has a nice soft funk, gentle pear/apple skins, and light yeast spiciness. Flavour is clean and funky, with a nice bright rustic saison yeast character, moderate funk, very gentle pear/apple skins, and some mineraly notes. Very clean, nicely funky, very bright. Very nice.

Poured from the tap @ Dageraad. Lightly hazed blonde gold with small white head. Saison yeast forward, feint earthiness, with a touch of quince and apple. Okay.

A bretty saison with light apple in the finish. Good body and complexity, if a bit simple. Other grafs are more evenly split; this one is basically beer and maybe a touch of cider.

Small pour. Appearance: hazy blonde with a white head. Aroma: very nice funk, manur, fruity notes, lots of tannins. Taste: along the same lines, a bit juicy, Brett. Finishes with some dryness. Overall: good one.
