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.

Bottle from Dageraad. Gusher. Cloudy to murky yellow color, small white head. Aroma of earth and rotten apples, dirty feet. Taste is earthy earthy apples, bitter and lightly tangy. Not a fan.

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.
