Taste: fruity start, pretty sourish, lemony, bitter touch, funky, herbal, more bitterness, meh. Aftertaste: weird acidity, fruity touch, gooseberries, more acidic, funky brett notes, weird, unpleasant bitterness, a bit chemical.

Poured from a 750 ml bottle. Aroma is slightly fruity with nice citrus and nectarine notes with hints of green grapes. Light oak notes. Light grain and alcohol notes. Pours a slightly hazy, pale, yellow-gold with a medium small, moderately thick, white head that recedes quickly to the edges where it lingers for a bit. Light lacing and faint legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with low acidity, slightly sharp, with light grain notes. Medium low bitterness and light alcohol notes. Medium low nectarine notes with lighter citrus and green grape notes. Light oak notes. Hints of peppery phenolics notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent fruited saison. A touch in the acidic side, but the fruit notes help counteract the acidity. Decent SARA funk.
