On tap at Strathcona, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of fruity esters, saison yeast and overripe fruits. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of esters, dry saison yeast, and a rather harsh astringency on the finish. Not an authentic creation here, and rather harsh. Not impressive.

Draught at the brewery
Cloudy blond color. More than a Saison, it tastes like an American Hefeweizen; the yeast has some spicy character, but also paper, and vegetables, mostly in the final. Some aroma of stale bread.
Lame local Saison, welcome to Vancouver.
