Ever so slightly hazy golden and peach coloured body with a dense, but very quick-dying pure white head that shows up first like a soda and then dies quite quickly, leaving only a trace amount on top. Aroma of grass, light flowers, hay, subdued hops and perhaps the smallest amount of apricots around. Light-bodied; Super assertive effervescence; Strong apricot, peach and distinctly yeastie characteristics at first with a big grassy and herbal profile soon afterwards and a touch of cherries and other fruits noticeable towards the tail end. Aftertaste is mellow, but still showing a lot of dryness with the grass and herbs the strongest by far, but also a dose of apricots and a modicum of sweetness that emanate from the end with fruits being the source. Overall, a good enough beer that shows enough of the saison-like qualties with the dryness and yeast profile, but not enough of the apricots to be definitive - that said, they are around the edges and show well enough for someone who loves apricots and also a pungent belgian yeast strain. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Hy-Vee in Omaha (Papillion), Nebraska on 06-November-2018 for US1,99, sampled at home in Washington on 05-March-2019.

Draft, 4 ounce sample glass at the brewery. Appearance is a cloudy orange yellow type color. Aroma is very mild fruit, moderate yeast, and moderate grain.
The fruit is super delicate. Yeast is subtle and fruit compliments the yeast. The yeast show a very mild funky element under the fruit. All of the ingredients are subtle and work well together. I could drink large amounts of this brew.
