Super hazy golden and peach coloured body with a large, eight centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of alcohol, hay, grass, funk, lemons, tea, powder and wheat. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal flavour with a bit of lemons, some yeast and funk, but a ton of lemon and tea flavours throughout showing some rather earthy and perfumey flavours instead of typical saison notes. Aftertaste shows a nice wheatie and heavily spiced beer with grass and flowers throughout. Overall, a decent beer thats more of a herb/spice beer than a saison, but still interesting and against the grain of typicality. I sampled this sixteen ounce can purchased from Whole Foods in Pentagon City, at the end of my driveway on 28-June-2016 for US$1,99 sampled at home in Upstate New York (New Paltz) on 23-July-2016.

Can shared by Cuso. Grassy, citrusy, barnyardy. The hops nicely mellows the sometimes sharp saisony spicy edge. Juicy, fresh feeling, refreshing, easy drinking. Very good.

Many thanks to this can from Travlr! Fresh lemon-nose. Smooth. The beer starts smooth and soft. Not much like a saison, more like a Pale Ale. Very dry, only subtle hints of sourness. The lemon-peel is there, fresh and fruity lemon-sourness on a malty body. I miss the Saison-yeast. Sessionable and easy to drink, probably a bit thin.

Can courtesy of Travlr. Poured a hazy light amber with a thin broken white head. The aroma is acid citrus, aspirin. The flavour is acid lemon citrus with a crisp, fresh, mineral, tart lemon palate. Light bodied with average carbonation.

The Travlr tasting at ChrisO’s. Thanks to Gene for all the beers and Chris for hosting. Lightly hazy gold beer, small white head. Palate is very light and has a fine crispness. Floral lemon, mildly bitter. Touch of sherbet. Light semi dry finish brings a savoury note. Citric bitter linger.
