Keg at Craft Pride - Austin. Pours mostly clear gold with a creamy, white head. The nose has some tangy citrus, slight woody notes, tangy lemon. Light sweet flavour with modest tartness, more tangy citrus fruits, slight pine needles, some woody dryness. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Brisk and refreshing on the finish with more citrusy tartness, some wood, grass, hay. A rather enjoyable tart saison.

Draught at Craft Pride in Austin. Pours a cherry, cotton candy red that is hazy with almost no head. Taste is tart raspberry. Alcohol is hidden. Became a little syrupy as it warmed into the second half of the glass.

Can, thanks Steve. Pale yellow, small white head. Smells of sour wheat, a little oak. Softer sour taste, lightly sweet even. Cross of a Berliner and a hefe. Interesting.
