Bottle from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours copper tinged gold with a slight white head. Mild rye aroma. Near med body. Flavor is interesting. It's rye, but it also tastes a bit of the decades old original Olympia. Flavor is actually flavorful. For 4.3% it's a pretty good, dare I say, session ale. Might not be as tasty without the rye. Pool/lake beer for sure.

Bottle from Albertsons. At first all seemed right. Decent looking pour, faint aroma of the saison yeasts. But it wasn’t ain’t, it was weak. Taste didn’t follow at all, just grainy and bland. Finishes clean, like a glass of water clean,nothing, nada, zip.....Por excudse for an anniversary beer.

Pour is a clear golden with a large fizzy white head. Aroma is sweet neutral grain and adjuncts. Flavor is bland sweetish malt and pretty watery and flavorless after that. I did not get any mosaic hop. Cheaply made.

Clear gold pour with an off-white head and great retention. Decent lacing. Tastes like a mix between a light pilsner and a wheat ale. Sweet finish. Not bad. Definitely doesn't taste like a saison, and that's a good thing.

Brooklyn Steel, Brooklyn tap: pours super pale gold with a white head. Aroma is super light lager. Taste is slightly more than water. That said not really all that bad. Nothing offensive.

24 ounce bottle into weizen glass, best before 4/26/2018. Pours slightly hazy reddish copper color with a 2 finger dense and rocky light khaki head with amazing retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts the whole glass. Thick soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Insane appearance. Aromas of big banana, bubblegum, clove, pepper, pear, apple, caramel, brown sugar, brown bread crust, and toasted biscuit; with light notes of nuttiness, roast, herbal, grass, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, dark/bready malt, and light earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big banana, bubblegum, clove, pepper, pear, apple, caramel, brown sugar, brown bread crust, and toasted biscuit; with light notes of nuttiness, roast, herbal, grass, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Mild herbal/grassy bitterness and yeast spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of banana, bubblegum, clove, pepper, pear, apple, caramel, brown sugar, brown bread crust, toasted biscuit, nuttiness, herbal, grass, and yeast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, dark/bready malt, and light earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitter/spiciness balance; and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from bitter/spiciness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 5.6%. Overall this is an excellent dunkelweizen style. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, dark/bready malt, and light earthy hop flavors; extremely smooth and pretty refreshing to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Likely to be a new recipe over the retired version. This is listed as Brewer's Pride #13, slightly higher ABV. Nicely rich Munich/Vienna malts, balancing weizen yeast, and mild noble hop complexity. A really enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.
