Bottle in Capitola. Pours mostly clear burnt orange, small off white head, decent lacing. Aroma is grape, vinous, hint of lemon. Flaky is light tart, pretty clean. Light body. Really not a lot going on here unfortunately.

Poured from a 750 ml bottle. Aroma is moderately grape forward with some must and tannins. Moderately fruity with fruit punch and stone fruit notes. Light grain and alcohol notes. Hints of oak. Pours a slightly hazy, reddish pink with a medium sized, thick, frizzy, slightly pink head that recedes quickly to the edges where it lingers for a bit. No lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with hints of acidity and light grain notes. Medium light bitterness and light alcohol notes. Fairly grape forward with quite a bit of tannins and must. Lighter tropical fruit punch notes with hints of stone fruit and lemon. Light oak notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium high carbonation. Fairly dry finish. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid, grape-forward saison. I'm not sure I would choose this over the Silent Spaces I had last night, but both are good and this is excellent in its own way.

750mL bottle drunk, 10/1/23. Clear, purple-tinted strawberry. Small head of brief bubbles. Some mineral, lots of grain and berry-like acidity with some base malt and light Brett. Some juiciness, lots of graininess, lactic acidity, light Brett, house character of pepper and almost a bit of grape skin, with musty cellar. Quite dry. Interesting, if maybe a touch lean and acidic.
