Draught at the brewery, 8/20/21.
Darker maize-to-rich-honey. Big, off-white head with excellent retention.
Touch of strawberry and maybe a bit of light acidity are the first things I notice. So gentle I'm not even sure what acid, initially. Strong minerality and rustic, hay-like grains come through, completing the picture. Fruity, but just to complement the other aspects - this isn't beating you over the head with strawberry, nor is it doing so with lactic/acetic acid. No alcohol or flaw noted.
Soft, malty, well-attenuated and complex with gentle acidity from the fruit and very light lactic acidity. Tight, engaging carbonation, light spiciness on the end almost, with excellent, rustic, grain-like notes and tons of lingering flavor without a surplus of acid building up on the palate. Really, really difficult to do a barrel-aged, fruited saison without it just turning in to a heavily sour/wild ale that obscures the Sacch. But they've done as good a job here as I've ever seen.
