Bottle sample at a tasting at Yoav's place. Cloudy amber. Oxidation, wet cardboard, old marmalade, some fruitiness, sweet, weird bitterness, alcohol. Unpleasant.

Hazy red grape colour beer, tidy pinky mauve cream colour head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Saison herb immediately obvious, as is some evaporating alcohol that both cools and warms. Red wine comes through on the back end, light but fairly clear and with some nice red and black berry elements but curiously piney. Smooth finish. Odd. I like the idea but delivery is only half way there for me. The red wine aspect needs to be a lot bolder for a saison that is north of 12% . It's interesting whilst never tugging on my heart strings.
