Batch number 23.
This was poured into a tulip.
Before actually consuming with food, I tasted for myself.
The appearance was a hazy burnt to glossy orange color with a one and a half finger white to bubbly foamy head. Quickly dissipated and left a moderately filmy to semi-bubbly lacing sticking to the glass.
The smell had some pear and light sweet citrus up front. Semi-sweet Belgian sugar slides into an extremely subtle spice underneath. Vinous initially but evens out as it warms.
The taste was mainly the same with the nice sweet dry aftertaste. Sticky vinous in the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a good. sessionability about it. Carbonation feels harsh in the beginning but ends up balancing out nicely.
Overall, this was a pretty good table beer. I’d say it worked as a saison. I ended up having a bacon, roast beef and American cheese sandwich with it that tasted real good.

Bottle. Nose is a barrel full of funk, lemon, slight pepper, hint of white grape skin, tangerine and lemon. Taste is funky, bone dry, pepper, white grape, hints of melon, apple, slight vinegary sourness, mineral, floral and a light tangerine note. Mouthfeel is light and refreshing. An outstanding lunch time table beer. Real depth combined with real sessionable drinkabilty is rare. Edit: I spent most of the next day thinking about this beer. It’s dry drinkability and depth has real quality, and is a beer you could have every day without finding it dull.
