375mL bottle at the brewery, 3/4/23. Clear, light bronze-golden. Large, white head, slowly fades to cover/ring. Biscuit, cracker, light honey from the malt mixing with light floral notes from the gin barrel as well as moderate mineral and plaster character from the saison yeast. Unfortunately, there's quite a bit of lime character; more than I'd prefer. Otherwise clean and very nicely done. Same goes for the flavor, where the lime character may be even stronger/more dominant. Excellent malt texture/flavor and saison yeast notes (stone fruit, plaster, heavy mineral) with minimal brett. A good candidate for more aging to see if the lime will burn off.
