Poured from a 750 ml bottle. Aroma has a medium light herbal and grassy hop note. Light SARA funk with green grapes and citrus. Hints of oak. Light grain notes and hints of alcohol. Pours a slightly hazy, yellow-gold with a medium large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Light lacing and faint legs. Flavor has a light sweetness and hint of acidity with light grain notes. Fairly strong bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderate green grape, citrus and grass hop notes. A bit of a slick, soapy, bitter, harsh note in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, this is a big whiff for me from SARA. I usually love hoppy saisons, but this one fails the test for me. It's super bitter and doesn't have enough sweetness and malt character to carry the harsh bitterness that's found in the finish.
