Bottle from a trade with Pawola22. Pours hazy golden color with white head. Flowery and doughy aroma with some pale malt. Grassy and doughy flavor with some light malts and a little funk. Medium body with lively carbonation. Thanks Brian.

Bottle shared by savnac: Poured a thick dark brown/black with a tan colored head. Aroma is very cacao/chocolate and a weird offsetting peppery. A very weird mix of chili spice beginning leading to a strong cacao and roasted malt flavor. It seems to me that the spice comes back in the end as well. I couldn’t see myself drinking a large quantity of this, but in a group setting it was perfect.

New Beer Distributors, NY 750ml ($10.25): Pours an orange colour with a light white head. Aroma is saison funk, loads of flowers, and a hint of honey. Taste is very lightly bitter and hoppy. Mouthfeel is nice and ligthly carbonated. This is dry, but just a bit. Sweetness is also really light and subdued. A pretty decent saison.

Bottle at the Funky 8, Brooklyn, NYC. One of the best beers of the day. Pours gold with a large, fluffy white head. Aroma holds subtle barnyard character, with light wheat and floral tones. Great flavor, very well balanced, mildly bitter with grass and flowers, sweet with fine, doughy malts. Light to medium bodied with smooth, massaging carbonation. More of the same to finish - flowery hops, doughy malts, very subtle funk. A beautiful beer. Mellow, smooth. Superb.

750mL bottle pours slightly hazy deep gold with loose light tan head. The aroma offers up citrus like tangelo notes that quickly get resiny with wood sap spiciness. The taste is similar with a nice citrusy orange to tangelo sensation and then leading into more and more bitterness with resiny wood spicy notes. The malts that sweeten up the citrus and the spicy wood are in good balance and make for a pleasingly bitter experience.
