Draft at Old Ox. Poured a slightly hazy orange yellow color with a wispy initial head. Aroma was blood orange, orange zest, very light touch of salt. Flavor was more of a orange-citrus heavy wit than it was a gose. Salt was very subtle. Would have liked a little more punch from this one, but it was light and refreshing.

Draft at Snallygaster 2015. Poured a clear ruby-brown color with a small off-white head. Aroma was some light tart sourr cherry notes. Flavor was light tartness, with a mild sweet malt character cutting through the sour. Not very puckering, but pretty drinkable. Would drink this again if I had the opportunity.

Hazy golden coloured body with a nice, three centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of grass, hay, wheat and a touch of citrus elements - relatively nice smelling throughout. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal flavour at first with a noticeable hop backbone showing through the lighter malt flavours, but the grass and herbal flavours are the strongest throughout. Aftertaste shows some grass, lemons, coriander seed and a bit of yeast flavours, but this is all about the grass and hay. Overall, a decent saison with a nice flavour, but not much complexity throughout. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Whole Foods in Fair Lakes (Fairfax), Virginia on 02-April-2016 for US$1,99 sampled at home in Washington on 08-May-2016.
