Sample at the taproom. The beer is a hazy bright yellow-gold color with a thin white head that dissipates quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of oak, fruit and yeast. Light-bodied with flavors of hibiscus, floral yeast and biscuit malt. The finish is fruity and oaky with a hibiscus and citrus aftertaste. Decent overall.

Sample at the taproom. The beer is a cloudy copper-orange color with a medium thick off-white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Patchy lacing on the glass. Aroma of funky fruit, yeast and malt. Medium-bodied with flavors of brett yeast, funky citrus and doughy malt. The finish is tropical fruit and brett. Pretty good overall.

750mL bottle, from Spring 2016, drunk 7/16/16.
Big, lasting, white head tops a sparkling, peach-nectarine-golden with light copper tints and a good clarity.
Very lively yeast in the nose shows pretty straightforward white pepper, nectarine, apple, a touch of bubble gum and nuttiness. Fresh though and quite charming, even if not every single note is quite the pinnacle of saison brewing. Spicy/peppery hops show respect to tradition, with a big honey-caramel kick on the finish as the malts enter the picture. No alcohol or flaw.
Malty, with lots of honey, light caramel and a big bready character. Tons of carbonation, though mostly tight and natural make for a lighter perceived body than what it actually is and as the carbonation settles and the beer wears on, I do think it gets just a bit too malty and sweet. Still, there are plentiful enjoyable esters and phenols to behold with soft, spicy hops lingering and no alcohol or flaw.

Bottle share, thanks to Toby. Pours a reddish brown with a thin ring of beige cap. Aroma is mostly fruity sweet with a bit of malt. Just the faintest hint of being a farmhouse ale. Good flavor of sweet and sour fruity bits, a little funk. Finished dry and a bit tart.

Draft at Oedipus fest. Aroma of yeast mostly, with a little tart. Taste of soft sourness, grain and again some yeast. Not very interesting.
