Can from a trade on BA, undated, drunk 7/9/16.
Lightly to moderately hazy, straw-golden body is quite carbonated and has a medium-sized white head atop that slowly fades to a ring.
Lemon, light pineapple, big honey and cream of wheat all balance out quite nicely and it doesnβt smell like a shot of pure lactic acid. I like how the malt and wheat soften it. Hay, grain, bread and such with even a pinch of caramel and no alcohol or flaw.
Great carbonation; nice and tight, with a malty and wheat-laden texture that is soft and inviting; very drinkable. Good attenuation with lingering honey, caramel and light fruitiness. Lactic acid is very mild and thereβs plentiful dryness from the wheat. I like that it focuses more on the yeast and malt/wheat and less on the lactic character. No alcohol or flaw.

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.
