Tap at the brewery. Oaty, muted aroma. Farmhouse flavors,. ingredients. Soapy, eatery. Earthy grains. Perhaps not perfectly hopped. Seems like a base.beer, incomplete. OK.

Pour from a can kicks up a lot of foam. Slightly chlorinated nose that drives off after the first pour. Tropical fruit pits, flower leaves and a bit of wheat malt follow up. Taste is light and crispy, almost "normal." Some malt spice. A light bitterness that seems more from a bit of kettle sour than any specific hop. More of a general saison than a horsey Belgian brew. Just fine as a table beer.

On tap at Begyle, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out a nice floral character, light esters, and gentle rustic saison yeast. Flavour is fairly dry, with rustic saison yeast, light esters, and some floral notes. A bit too dry and muted but decent utilization of the yeast. Solid.

Wonderful. Has a real grain flavor but not texture. Woodsy, earthy, fieldy. Makes me wish it were sundown in a French field somewhere.
