Reviewed from notes.
The appearance has somewhat of a dark brown slightly cloudy body with a finger of white foaminess, clingy lacing here and there.
The smell has some spicy hops, gets a bit peppery as it warms.
The taste is spicy/peppery with a bit of sweet citrus, some grape-like flavoring seems to come out a bit as well with a sweet aftertaste and finish
On the palate, its about a light to medium, sessionable, alcohol not felt.
Overall, hey, I like this one, but I tend to like fresher saisons, I would have this again, and say this is good for its style.

Pours a slightly hazy medium golden color with a huge beige head that takes forever to recede to a drinkable level. Wow that’s got a wonderful hop nose. Pine, resin and a light citrus aroma plays nicely with a spicy wheat and lightly bready malts. The flavor is lightly fruity with a great fruity hop flavor and a solid spicy bite from the wheat and yeast. Medium body with a spirited level of carbonation and a sweet tart mouthfeel. Decent beer, I would probably try it again if it weren’t 10 bucks for 375ml.

550 ml bottle thanks to Phatdog1 one on the sample. Nose is really pleasant, flower hops, that Nelson Sauvin is a variety I really tend to enjoy. Also sweet malt smelling. Light in body and tastes similar to how it smells. Malt takes over toward the finish yet has a floral hop presence with a crisp refreshing finish.
