750 mL bottle, generous extra (one of MANY) from JStax, drunk 1/5/16.
Perfect appearance, with a massive white head that is very well-retained. Hazy body is a deep copper-gold with a huge amount of carbonation visible.
Light, floral brett notes are taken side-by-side with a peppery, lightly musty/cellar-like saison yeast character. These guys definitely have produced a real saison, not just the fake, vaguely Belgian crap most American brewers call saison. Gently fruity, with light cookies, biscuits and lemon notes on the finish. Barrel character is done well, with very little wine character and no heavy woodiness. No alcohol or flaws.
Lemon, sugar cookies, floral notes and light brett tartness are all enjoyable, but fairly quickly it’s obvious there are some body problems. Not that you want a saison thick and malty, but this is very watery and thin, with the heavy carbonation further pronouncing the lightness. Light nuttiness from the wood, some bare acidity and lots of spongey grain character on the end. That being said, the flavors are still very enjoyable, I think it just comes off a bit too undermalted and overattenuated. Very interested to try more from these guys.

Sample at the taproom. Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a medium thick off-white head that dissipates steadily to a dense film. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of malt, hops and fruit. Light to medium body with flavors of caramel malt, fruit and mild resiny hops. The finish is sweet with a malty aftertaste. Decent overall.
