Very pink and lavender coloured body with a thinnish, single to two centimetre tall pinkish and off-white head - quite crazy looking indeed. Aroma of fruits, some lighter grainy malt with a pungent berry and raspberry smell, with a light tartness, but very little from any yeast, wheat or herbal bite. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong fruity flavours at first show all the berry and perhaps currant notes, but very little else, but some wheat and grain comes through and a lot of sweetness, but no yeast or wheat noticeable and no rich herbal notes that show anything close to a saison. Aftertaste shows the currant and fruit flavours, a lot of sweetness, some malts and almost nothing else - fairly subdued throughout. Overall, a pretty poor beer that shows some good fruity notes with a lot of currant, sweetness and tart flavours and little of the saison notes. Not worth trying - some of their other saison's are good, but not this one. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Hy-Vee in Papillion (Omaha), Nebraska on 11-February-2019 for US$1,99 sampled in my hotel room here in Omaha, Nebraska on 11-Februar-2019.

Draft. A- Floral, mild rubber, slightly soapy. A- Rose color, clear liquid, white head. T- Soap, floral, lemon peel. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, spiced finish. O- Okay. Not much currant honestly. In fact, I hardly get any, just a fair amount of floral spice.
