I went into this without any expectations - when a local brewery releases a saison, I feel compelled to try it - pour is hazy apple-cider in color - fizzy at first, but the head completely dissipates, leaving a beer that looks almost completely still - nose is of overripe, almost rotting fruits (apple, pear, white grape), with some slight sour acidity and some dusty yeast notes - watery on the palate - lightly sweet at first, but becomes moderately acidic through the middle - mildly lactic - some flavorless yeasty notes - some apple, grape and light graininess on the tail end, with lingering acidity that borders on tasting like vinegar - simultaneously messy and boring - thank goodness so many of my local stores sell single bottles.

12oz bottle. A really odd Saison. Hazy yellow-gold with a thin white head. Sweet, delicate flowery hop and candy sugar, funky yeast aroma. Sort of like a Dutch Maibock more than a Saison, the malt is really sweet, touches of meady honey, and there are lots of fruity yeast tones. Sweet fruity finish, some mellow tropical hop tones. Quite unique, this one really grew on me as I sipped it, quite a bit of depth, semi-challenging beer.
