Had immediately following Hexen by Oxbow and so different. Deeper copper colored and nose is honey and herbal. Tastes dandelion, honey, herbal, hay. Creamy mouth feel.

355mL canned 1/16/24, drunk 4/4/24. Deep bronze-copper. Small, beige head, quickly to light cover. Hop-accentuated peppery saison phenols with a clean, malty, bready balance and flaw or over-hopping. Soft, rich, great mineral character and obviously well-aged. Richly-malted and well-attenuated with excellent balancing hop and yeast bitterness/acidity. Fresh herbs and pepper with rich honey and hints of maple drying out nicely on the finish. Soft, rich, flavorful, authentically Belgian saison-like and incredibly balanced.

Pours hazy deep gold into a tulip. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes to coat surface. Tart meadow and funk aromas. Medium bodied with sweet honey, spice and meadow front to back. Lasting earthy pepper and funk finish.
