Hazy golden coloured body with a nice, rich white head with a lot of bubbles throughout, showing about four centimetres of head that fades slowly. Aroma of dry grass, a lot of hay and some subdued hops, a little funk and floral note and ending with some very acute sweetness and a dose of honeysuckle, coupled with a ton more dry grass and hay flavours with a little yeast complexity near the end. Light to Medium-bodied; Dry grassy flavour throughout with a big yeast and floral kick showing a bunch of dry and herbal hops and a definite complex yeast finish with some honey and citrusey kicks and ending with way more dry and grassy flavours. Aftertaste is dry, complex, grassy, floral and very musty with a yeast flavour that dominates and some more dry hops with a good malt balance and almost no sweetness at all. Overall, a very nice saison with a super dry flavour, some complex hop and citrus flavours and ending with a ton of coriander seed, flowers and grass that make this insanely dry. Great to sample and well worth trying, especially if you like saisons - this one is extremely dry, showing good complexity, just no sweetness or richness, which is okay, considering the style. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Costco in Pentagon City (Arlington), Virginia on 15-April-2017 for US$6,99 sampled at home in Washington on 04-September-2017.
